Linke's Painting to Wallcoverings calls itself a Litchfield County house painter and wallcovering installer, and the company says it has been in business 41 years. Its website names New Milford, Roxbury, Kent, Bridgewater, Sherman, Warren, Southbury, Woodbury and Litchfield as its service area. On Houzz it holds a 5.0 rating from 10 ratings. A 2025 customer said Bill and his team painted a lower-level family room, bath, hall and bedroom after a flood, removing hardware, taping around beams and windows, and putting the doors, molding and hardware back afterward. A 2022 customer said Bill and his team painted the entire house, papered two rooms and came back for touch-ups and punch-list items. In a 2019 review, a customer said Bill walked around the whole house at his first visit, pointing out repairs to make before painting. That 2019 customer said the job ran slightly over its estimated six weeks because his crew found wood rot under the two-story roofline, and wrote that the estimate was accurate. The same 2019 customer said the painters left no paint or dust in the garden beds despite sanding most of the house. A 2017 customer said Bill helped select the colors for a 5,600-square-foot house and that the job was completed on time and on budget. A 2016 customer described a kitchen project painting oak cabinets, said Bill worked with them from start to finish, and called his price quite competitive. A 2016 customer wrote that they had grasscloth installed and that Bill was very proficient with different types of paper. In 2016, a professional interior designer wrote that Bill Linke had been their go-to painting contractor since they first met thirty years earlier. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0580459, as active, held by Linke's Painting to Wallcoverings.
Couldn't be more pleased with the painting job Bill & his team completed in my lower level family room, bath, hall & bedroom after being flooded 8/18/24. From choosing the right color paint to meticulous preparation with removal of hardware, taping around beams & windows & putting everything back(doors, molding, hardware etc.) On time early each morning...working all day until finished in a timely manner. Very pleasant to work with Bill & all his co-workers. Very professional! He will be power washing for me my deck & house & painting & staining in the Spring. Highly recommend!
I cannot recommend Linke's Painting highly enough. Bill and his team painted our entire house, and papered two rooms. We have a lot of molding, and unconventional configurations requiring care and good judgement, and Bill has each in abundance. We also used fine wallpaper from the UK, and Bill's craftsmanship and attention to detail was impeccable. Our house has a great many windows and woodwork, and some trim was high contrast; also, the was not entirely empty while Bill and his colleagues were working. They took painstaking care with their work, and our belongings - communicating clearly and efficiently, cleaning up beautifully, working efficiently without ever cutting corners, patiently returning for touch ups and punch list items. Everyone was kind and helpful; we will use them again, and recommend them without hesitation.
This review is long overdue. Bill Linke was highly recommended by friends, and my husband and I are very happy that we followed their advice. We contracted with him to paint our large home, a challenging and difficult job. At his initial visit, he walked around the entire house with us, pointing out what repairs should be made prior to painting. When he sent his estimate, he gave us a tentative start date and estimated duration of work to complete the job, approximately six weeks. His crew showed up on schedule, and the job took slightly over six weeks, only because his crew discovered areas of wood rot that were under the two-story roof-line, requiring additional repairs. The estimate was accurate. Bill was there painting and supervising most days. There was never a day, unless it was raining, that he didn't have someone working on our house. I cannot emphasize enough how professional, considerate and delightful every single person working on the job was. Long-time employees, they were meticulous in their work. They were incredibly neat, and cleaned everything up at the end of every day. Our home is surrounded by gardens, many of which border the house. The painters left not a speck of paint nor dust in the beds, despite having to sand most of the house. Our plantings were undamaged. We appreciated Bill's advice on color choices - he has a wonderful eye for color. We are looking forward to having him return this winter for interior painting and window repairs. Our house is beautiful now!
Linke's Painting to Wallcoverings and Bill Linke are amazing. They went well beyond just painting my 5600 square foot house. Bill helped select the colors and the color coordination. He also advised on other construction and decoration decisions in the house. The job was completed on time and on budget both very important. The work was flawless and he is always available for touch ups. I live in NYC and have contracted several painters over the years in NYC and Westchester County but i have never encountered better quality work and service than i found with Bill . I recommend him enthusiastically and without reservation to anyone and everyone. I am even trying to figure out how to get him to come to NYC to work on my apt.
Bill Linke and his crew are more than top of the line house painters. They are knowledgeable in the “proper” way to fix those ceiling lumps, wall cracks, wooden panels, stuck doors, etc. Then Bill will surprise you with his artistic sense of colors while making sure the client’s needs are met. I could not be happier with the superb job they did in making my house look beautiful and new again! Linke Painting is an extremely professional, skilled and ethical contractor to work with. They delivered quality work on time and within budget.
