“Jack Barter, owner of Jack’s Painting Service in Portland, Maine. Barter has over 15 years of experience as a professional painter.”
I’ve used Jack and his crew for several jobs over the years, and they’ve been great every time. Hands down, the cleanest and most professional crew I’ve ever hired or worked with. I’d recommend them to anyone looking for great work, reliable guys, and competitive pricing. You won’t be disappointed.
I hired Jack’s Painting Service to repaint my kitchen, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Because I live in an older home where nothing is quite in alignment, what started as a paint job quickly turned into a mini-remodel. Jack handled the challenges flawlessly—he took a ceiling covered in cracks and old water stains and made it look brand new. What really sets Jack apart is his communication. We’ve all dealt with contractors who are impossible to reach, but Jack was proactive and easy to talk to throughout the entire process. On top of his skill, he is incredibly friendly; he even took the time to show me how to handle general maintenance on other parts of my house that weren't even part of the project. If you want high-quality work and a stress-free experience, hire Jack!
Jack and his crew painted the entire interior of our house. The work was top notch and the crew was beyond professional. We had to live in the house while the work was being done and Jack and crew were super accommodating working around our schedule.
easy to deal with. quality work.
Jack did a beautiful professional job of completely repainting ( to include rot and water damaged siding and decking) my home. He helped me with color choices and new lighting ideas. I could not be more pleased. Jack and his crew were always on time, professional , respectful of my property , polite and left everything cleaned up and tidy at the end of the day. Regardless of whether Jack was on site or not. They all took great pride in their work. I have hired Jack for another interior renovation project… without any hesitation.
