Mark Svanda Painting & Remodeling paints and remodels homes, and its website says the company has been remodeling and painting homes for over 30 years. A recent customer with an antique home in Newtown says Mark has painted its exterior twice, and that when he came back eight years after his last visit, there were only minor touch-ups to do. He then painted three interior rooms that had not seen a paintbrush in 25 years. They say Mark checks in with his crew frequently when he is not on site himself and that his prices are fair. A 2026 customer said Mark assessed the exterior of the house and recommended several plans to address deferred maintenance, problematic windows and the choice of a color scheme. In that 2026 account, Mark had his crew paint several large swatches to help with the color choice, and the crew, led by Patricio, was careful and easy to communicate with. The same 2026 customer listed deck refurbishment, daily clean-up and window cleaning at the end as part of the job. A 2025 customer in Sandy Hook said both inside and outside painting were done and the house was left spotless when the work was completed, and that Mark came to the house every day to observe what was done that day. A 2025 reviewer said the company painted their house in Newtown that year and showed up when they said they would. A 2025 customer said Mark and his team had painted the house 3 times in the previous 20 years. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0627856, as active, held by MARK SVANDA PAINTING LLC.
Mark has painted the exterior of our antique home twice since we moved to Newtown. His work lasts. He came back this spring eight years after his last visit and had only minor touch-ups to do. He then painted three interior rooms that had not seen a paintbrush in 25 years (it's easy to get used to imperfections in an old home). To be honest, when Mark and his hard-working crew finished the work, we were stunned that the rooms could look that good. If you're looking for a painter, do yourself a favor and call Mark Svanda Painting. He and his team are reliable, skilled, and efficient. Mark checks in with his crew frequently when he is not on site himself and keeps the client in the loop about project status. He respects clients' wishes, but tactfully offers suggestions that are always spot-on. His prices are fair and reflect the value of his work. We wouldn't consider hiring anyone else.
Mark Svanda Painting & Remodeling are professional, knowledgeable, reliable, skilled and a great value for their high level of expertise. Mark heard me and made my wants happen in the best way possible. We are delighted with the exterior paint job on our house. He carefully assessed the exterior conditions, and keeping my "wants" in mind recommended several plans to address the deferred maintenance, problematic windows, and my inability to lock in on a color scheme. He connected us with a carpenter and together they determined what work needed to be done and carefully explained it to me. Mark had his crew paint several large swatches to aid my color choice. The crew, led by Patricio, were careful, considerate and easy to communicate with. I was always aware of what was on tap for that day and invited to give feedback. I am so pleased with the whole experience from the planning, painting, deck refurbishment, daily clean-up, to the window cleaning at the end. We have received lots of enthusiastic compliments too. Now, I look forward to the interior paint job. Mark has already given me budget friendly ideas to update and refresh the interior in addition to the paint.
Doris & Neil Ratner are completely satisfied with the work provided for our home in Sandy Hook. Both inside and outside painting were performed with skill and a professional attitude. When the work was completed our house was left spotless. In addition, Mark came to the house every day to observe what was done that day.
