Last 6 months: 22 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Handymasters Painting Co. is a father-and-son painting team whose website lists an eleven-town service area that includes Durham, Dover, Portsmouth and Exeter. Interior and exterior painting, deck staining, cabinet painting and pressure washing are among the services the site names. A recent customer said the father and son team painted their deck and shed in the two days the job took, at a very reasonable price. One recent customer wrote that before painting the house they washed, sanded, caulked, primed, renailed and replaced broken and missing cedar shakes, and also did a small carpentry job on the patio roof. A recent customer with dried-out decks said the painting and staining job was completed within a week of starting, and that they also painted the soffit and fascia. On a recent kitchen cabinet job, the customer said they scraped, sanded and degreased the cabinets, applied two coats of shellac primer, and fixed a few cabinets the customer had tried to paint first. Inside the house, a recent customer said they painted the dining room, kitchen, hallway, stairwell and upstairs hall plus the ceilings, doors, crown molding and trim, and kept in touch by phone as needed. A recent customer said Nazarii added wainscoting to their dining room, painted it with two-plus coats, and did both sides of the front door as an add-on. A contractor on the Seacoast wrote recently that they have worked with them on multiple projects and trust leaving them at clients' homes. The work goes past paint. A recent customer said they finished a room by installing sheet rock, a double hung door, craftsman style trim and LVL flooring, then painting it. In a 2026 review, a customer said Nazarii and his dad painted three rooms and the hallway upstairs and installed flooring in two rooms. A 2025 customer said Nazarii and his dad replaced a gutter, covered a gap, and moved furniture that had to be moved. A 2025 customer hired them to power wash the house and clear roof moss, and said the two-day job was reasonably priced. In 2026, a retired customer said they did all the interior trim and about half the walls in two and a half weeks, and preferred to work late, sometimes until 6:30, rather than start early, which was fine with that household. **Strengths:** - Thorough prep work — a recent customer listed washing, sanding, caulking and priming - Deck staining — a recent customer said the deck job finished within a week - Cabinet spraying — a recent customer described degreasing and two shellac primer coats - Room finishing — a recent customer had sheet rock, trim and LVL flooring installed ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Father-and-son painting team _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2pOb2JFRlZhRGt5WjJaNmFtZGlabE5sVlZVMGFIYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xd99b63df9f7f5f05!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOjNobEFVaDkyZ2Z6amdiZlNlVVU0aHc%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ Thankfully, I hired Handymasters Painting Co. to paint my deck and shed.
