Doctor Colors holds 5 stars from 19 Google ratings and 5.0 from 11 Thumbtack ratings. On Thumbtack, the company describes itself as a family-owned small business run by husband-and-wife team Julia and Glenn, doing interior and exterior paint jobs, cabinets, finish carpentry and epoxy flooring, and says it has over 20 years in the industry. A 2024 customer said the entire interior of the house had to be painted in less than 7 days before closing, and Glenn kept his promise to meet that deadline. A 2024 customer said they needed a certified lead contractor for a whole-house painting project and called the price very reasonable. A 2025 customer in Buttonwoods said they hired Glenn to completely redo the outside of the house after peeling stain and a blotchy deck left by another company. That 2025 customer wrote that the work had held up for several seasons and that they have since hired them to paint the inside and the kitchen cabinets. A 2025 customer in Middletown said Doctor Colors was the painting subcontractor on their project, and when the general contractor was fired, Glenn offered to complete it, including removing, restoring and reinstalling historic windows. That 2025 customer said the project was completed on time, they passed a lead inspection, and historic trim over 150 years old was preserved. A 2025 customer said Doctor Colors completed a first-floor remodel with new kitchen cabinets and appliances, a backsplash, refinished hardwood floors and a complete repaint, working 6 or 7 days a week for 4 weeks and finishing on time. A 2025 Thumbtack customer said Glenn had a quote within 24 hours. In 2023, turnto10.com reported that Doctor Colors discounted a $40,000 job to $25,000 for the Brazils.

“Based in Rhode Island, the now-nationwide painting and renovation company made them a great deal, with carpentry, new framing and windows included.”
Glenn had a quote for me within 24 hours. He was extremely communicative, the work completed was fantastic and his team had unmatched speed and neatness. Definitely would hire again!
Dr Colors did a fantastic job painting my home! Glenn, Lemuel and the whole crew were very professional, flexible and attentive. They really brought my old Victorian back to life!
We just used Doctor Colors for the 3rd time. We met them through a friend who had a great experience. Our project went perfectly. No complaints. I highly recommend them for painting and renovations.…
We bought our forever home in Buttonwoods, but immediately found out that the prior owner had thrown a remodel together to make the house look much better than it really was. We immediately had problems with the exterior paint,and especially the coating on the mahogany deck. We tried using another company and had the same problems happen again; the stain was peeling off of the shingles and the decking looked blotchy and ugly. We were so disappointed. We met Glenn while he was on his way to Folk Festival with his family. He spent half an hour going over everything and explaining what the other companies had done wrong. We hired him to completely redo the outside of our house. It hss been several seasons and everything the guys did has held up. We have sinced hired them to paint the inside, our kitchen cabinets, and our neighbors on each side and across the street have hired them as well. Highly recommended company. Happy to leave a review
Doctor Colors was the painting subcontractor on our project in 2024. We had extensive issues with the General Contractor, which ended up going to court. We were badly taken advantage of. Rather than quitting, when the contractor was fired, Glenn stepped up and offered to complete the project which included removing, restoring, and reinstalling hisoric windows, dentil work and trim, and more. We also needed to pass a lead inspection, because we run a business out of the home. We were surprised, but offered to let them give it a shot. Adam, Pedro, and even Glenn showed up and worked 7 days a week until they were caught up. They ended up completing the project on time. We passed our inspection and we were able to preserve our historic trim that was over 150 years old. The house is on the corner of Admiral Kalbfus and Main St in Middletown...come take a look!
