Hanson Painting is a family-run shop owned and operated by Bill Hanson, who by the company's own account started painting for a local company in 2001 and opened his own in 2007. The work customers describe is the fussy interior kind: ceilings, trim, cabinet doors and plaster patches in old North Shore houses. Ceilings come up again and again. A homeowner writing in March 2026 had a water-stained kitchen ceiling repainted along with the rest of the main floor. In a January 2023 review, another described woodwork and a ceiling damaged by water leaks, then a calcimine ceiling — the kind common in older homes — sanded, sealed, plastered and painted. An April 2025 reviewer living in a 300-year-old house with intricate trim and window details said Bill handled it with precision and care. Cabinets are their own line of work: a February 2025 reviewer singled out the cabinet refinishing, and someone calling around about kitchen cabinets in July 2025 said Bill Hanson rang back within half an hour. Exterior jobs show up too — a July 2024 review describes the whole house painted and some rotting siding fixed — as do drywall and plaster patching (April 2025) and color help from Erin on a recreation room (January 2026). Several reviewers mention the crew cleaning up at the end of each day, and several more say the job finished when promised. Two 2025 reviewers call the rates reasonable. Across 50 Google ratings the company holds a 5-star average, with written reviews running from 2022 into 2026. A strong call for interior repaints where the prep is the job — old trim, damaged ceilings, cabinets — and for quick turnarounds before a house lists, which a January 2025 realtor and an April 2025 seller both describe. The company's site names a service area from Newburyport and Andover into Plaistow, Atkinson and Portsmouth, NH, so check your town when you call; settle the schedule and who will be on site in the estimate, and ask for proof of insurance before work starts.
Bill recently did a fantastic job painting our water stained kitchen ceiling as well as the other ceilings in the main area of the house. Bill’s responsiveness, attention to detail and efficiency was amazing! We’ve already discussed working on the bedrooms in the fall! Thanks again Bill
Our first experience with Hanson Painting was top notch. From the initial estimate to job completion, Bill was prompt and thorough in explanation and execution. He and his crewman Matt did an outstanding job painting our great room, its trim, three doors, and the trim on newly installed windows, and a hallway to our upstairs. Three things were of utmost importance to us, the comfort of having people we trusted do the job, the execution of the work, and communication. Bill nailed all three, and we are happy to know we have someone we will call again.
Very happy with the job. Our ceilings were a challenge, but Bill made them look brand new. We will use Hanson Painting again!
Bill and Erin were prompt, courteous, and professional. Erin helped me pick the perfect color for our recreational room, the final result was amazing! The quality of work was exceptional, five stars! Thank you! Pat and Judy O'Keefe
My wife and I were considering having our kitchen cabinets professionally painted. I’m so glad I found the Hanson Painting website. Bill gave us a detailed estimate along with a precise explanation on the job process. He told us in advance the time frame to complete the job and was spot on. Bill and Max were friendly and professional and highly skilled. They did meticulous prep work , carefully covering everything to minimize dust and disruption. Bill’s attention to detail is evident in the final product. We are extremely pleased in the outcome of our cabinets. The results of our kitchen cabinet painting makes it very clear that Hanson Painting does high quality work. Look no further.
