John's Painting & Carpentry gets called when the wood under the paint has gone bad. In a spring 2026 job the crew pulled the existing wood trim off the rakes, eaves and soffits, replaced it with PVC, then scraped, pressure washed and repainted the house. A customer writing in July 2025 described the same order of operations on their place: rotten siding and window frames fixed first, then detailed sanding, primer, and two coats of exterior paint. Prep is what customers put the emphasis on. An April 2026 homeowner described a crew careful enough that nothing non-paintable got damaged, everything sanded and primed under two finish coats, with clapboard replacement handled along the way. Another April 2026 customer, with a 130-year-old house that needed extra work, hired them only after watching them work on two neighbors' houses first. Cost and cleanup come up plainly. A homeowner in August 2025 who had rotted exterior trim swapped for composite called the price fair, and said there were no added expenses and no mess left behind; that reviewer named John and his brother Michael on the job. This is a small shop with a young written history — six Google ratings, and every account on it posted in 2025 or 2026. If your house needs the rot cut out and the exterior brought back — clapboards, trim, window frames, then paint — this is squarely their kind of work. Get the scope in writing before they start: which trim material goes where, and how many coats.
We hired John's Painting & Carpentry for a multitude of work on our house in the spring of 2026. John and his crew completed work to replace existing wood trim with PVC trim at rakes, eaves, and soffits. His crew also scraped, pressure washed and painted our house (primer plus two finish coats). Following roof replacement by another contractor, John and his crew returned to replace gutters and downspouts on the house. All of the work turned out great! We have been receiving many compliments on all of the projects. John's Painting and Carpentry was great to work with and the workers are very hard working and courteous.
My husband and I have always done all our own painting. We're at a point in our life that we needed some help. We did some work inside and employed other painters that really disappointed us. Now we needed the exterior of the house painted so we really looked around. From the get-go, I was impressed with John. He seemed to really know what the house needed and how he was going to go about completing the job. He was well organized, everything was in writing. His price was very reasonable, just slightly higher than our last estimate but he had made such an impression, that we had to hire him. What hard workers! He often came with a crew of 3, usually working 12 hour days!! They were so neat and clean, all so polite and respectful. John sat with me and reviewed my paint choices, with really great advice. He said he would have the job completed by May 25th and today is May 25th and the job is done! It took just over a week!!! And no complaints during that week. They came and worked hard, long hours and went home. And WOW. WOW. We are so so happy with how well it came out. We love our "new" home!!! You will not be disappointed if you hire this company. I am going to employ them again to help me with more work. What a relief to find a company that is honest, hard working and does amazing work. I obviously highly recommend them!! 10 STARS!!!
Awesome job! The guys were fastidious in their prep work making sure that there would be no damage to non-paintable surfaces. Everything was sanded and primed with two finish coats. Additional clapboard replacement and carpentry was done with care. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend John's Painting!
John and his crew are amazing. I saw his work when a neighbor had them working on his house, which was impressive. Then another neighbor hired him and, again, the results were great. So, I hired him. I have a 130-year-old house that needed some extra work. Power washed the entire house, scraped, replaced rotted wood, sanded, and primed. Then 2 coats of paint, all for a reasonable price. No one primes anymore or puts on 2 coats of paint. They were considerate of my property, professional, very friendly and did an amazing job. I highly recommend them.
John’s crew replaced rotted exterior trim with composite trim. They were timely, professional, neat, respectful, polite and very well communicated. The price was fair and craftsmanship quality. No surprises, no added expenses, no mess left behind. John and his brother Michael are hard working professionals. I highly recommend their services. It was an excellent experience.
