Living Colors Painting

Living Colors Painting is a Shrewsbury painting company run by Jeff Millar, who says on the company's site he started the business in 1990. The reviews describe a full-service operation — power washing and carpentry repairs before painting, cabinet refinishing, deck and fence work — backed, per the website, by a two-year workmanship guarantee. The written history here is deep and consistent: 31 Google reviews from 2023 through this month, and a striking number of them are from repeat customers — several say they've used the company for years, or three times, or since having a house built decades ago. Recent reviews describe a kitchen renovation finished off with a full first-floor repaint, a cellar remodel painted start to finish, and a house exterior repaired and repainted after storm damage from a fallen tree limb. A 2025 review described the full sequence on an exterior job — power washing, a carpenter fixing rotten wood, then the paint crew — and several others specifically credit named staff, including Jeff, Marc, Susan and Scott, for careful prep and cleanup around plant beds and property. One recent account breaks that pattern. In a May 2026 review, a repeat customer said that on their most recent job, the company had switched to subcontractors without experience and that the owner didn't seem to care about the quality of the work — a sharp contrast with the praise elsewhere, and worth asking about directly if hiring for a larger project. For interior or exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, or a job that needs some carpentry repair first, the volume and consistency of the praise here — spanning years and repeat customers — is hard to match; just ask who's doing the actual work given the one recent complaint about subcontractors.
