POWER PAINTING

Powers Painting Services works out of Amesbury, handling the kind of job people describe by name: an exterior repainted, a deck redone, trim and baseboards touched up, a front door and its surround finished off as an add-on nobody expected to be included. The site says founder Ross started the business in 2016 after ten years in the trade and describes it as family-owned; nearly every review over the past four years names him personally rather than a generic crew. What keeps showing up is the same story: a homeowner who tried other painters first and finally landed on Ross. One family spent 18 months on a new-construction home and went through four different painters before him, saying the others followed the right steps but still missed what the family actually wanted — Ross worked backward from the outcome instead. Another customer wasn't asked for a deposit at all and paid only once fully satisfied with the finished exterior. A third met Ross on a golf course, struck up a conversation, and ended up hiring him. The specifics repeat across jobs: three decks repainted with pricing called fair each time, a two-story exterior finished quickly without cutting corners, trim and baseboards plus an unplanned front-door add-on handled without extra fuss, and a family who had their first home painted years ago now bringing Ross back for their new one. Reviews from earlier this year read the same way — good communication, work finished on schedule, results that beat expectations. He's a strong call for a straightforward interior or exterior repaint, or if deck or trim work needs to ride along with it — the kind of job where a written estimate that gets honored, and payment held until the customer is satisfied, matters most.
