Last 6 months: 5 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read A recent customer said Rob spent 2 months sanding and painting their house, replacing dry rotted boards and matching a special color paint for the doors. On its BBB page, McLain's Finest Painting describes itself as a residential interior and exterior painting company serving Sullivan County, NH, including the Lake Sunapee Region and Upper Valley, with over 10 years of experience. It has an A grade from the BBB and 5 stars from 20 Google ratings. A recent customer said Rob painted the exterior of their house on Lake Sunapee with a Sherwin Williams high end paint, and that the work came with a ten year warranty. A recent customer with a complicated project said Robert was reliable with the schedule, but that the estimate of time and materials was inconsistent with the final price. A 2025 customer said Rob painted the exterior of their 3300 sq ft house at the end of summer 2024, starting with a pressure wash of the entire house, then scraping flaking paint, replacing clapboards where needed and priming before painting; that customer said his pricing was in line with quotes from other painters in the area. A 2025 customer said Robert finished a bonus room and stayed close to the estimated budget and time frame despite an uneven plywood floor left by another contractor. A 2025 customer said Robert painted trim and eaves and the exterior porch areas. **Strengths:** - Rot repair — a recent customer said dry rotted boards were replaced - Ten year warranty — a recent Lake Sunapee exterior job came with one - Bonus room finish — a 2025 customer said it stayed close to budget **Concerns:** - Final price — a recent customer said it differed from the estimate ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Describes itself on its BBB page as a residential interior and exterior painting company serving Sullivan County, NH, including the Lake Sunapee Region and Upper Valley _(confidence: medium)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/nh/goshen/profile/painting-contractors/mclains-finest-painting-llc--0051-92070754/addressId/69550) — “About (Better Business Bureau, self-described): We are a fully insured premier residential interior and exterior painting company serving Su…” - A grade from the BBB _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/nh/goshen/profile/painting-contractors/mclains-finest-painting-llc--0051-92070754/addressId/69550) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A” - 5 stars from 20 Google ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=McLain's%20Finest%20Painting%20LLC&query_place_id=ChIJBZz9Zyzz4YkR1Bqsufgipqo) — “Google: 5★ from 20 ratings” - A recent customer said Rob spent 2 months sanding and painting their house and replaced dry rotted boards _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2xsTFdUQkZabmhVVDNVeVNXbGFUVzUwY0ZWWFJVRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xaaa622f8b9ac1ad4!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOllLWTBFZnhUT3UySWlaTW50cFVXRUE%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ Rob spent 2 months sanding and painting my house this summer.
