Michael Carr Painting and Wallpapering is a Brighton specialist whose visible work centers on painting and wallpaper installation, repair, and removal. Angi and HomeAdvisor both list 31 years of experience, free estimates, and a 5.0 rating from four reviews. The written reviews, dated 2024–2025, focus on wallpaper projects rather than broad construction. Customers describe a difficult pattern matched precisely, a study and bathroom painted and papered cleanly, respectful crews, prompt full-day work, and clear communication. One reviewer called the wallpapering job flawless; another said Michael had everything needed and finished an unusually difficult job professionally. The public review history is small—five distinct reviews across the collected sources—and the expired personal website could not supply current self-reported details. That makes the platform reviews useful for judging wallpaper craftsmanship, but not a complete picture of larger painting work. This is a reasonable starting point for a wallpaper or room-painting project in Brighton and nearby communities. Ask for a written estimate, recent examples using your chosen paper or finish, and the current scope and timeline before booking.

Beautiful job, the room was papered and painted flawlessly. Michael and Jose were respectful, friendly and helpful.
Great wrk prompt good communicator.
Michael and his assistant, Jose, did a superb job painting and wallpapering a study and bathroom. My husband said it was the best wallpapering job he'd ever seen. We used a difficult pattern and he matched it perfectly, even when we were down to our last wallpaper ends, trying to finish a spot above a door. They were prompt, worked a full 8-5 day, and were as unobtrusive as possible while working. We highly recommend him.
Michael was terrific from start to finish on my wallpapering job and it was not an easy one! He had everything he needed and very professionally hung the paper to match up exactly. I am amazed and grateful. I wouldn't hire anyone else to do wallpaper now that I've seen how it's really done!
