In an April 2026 Google review, a homeowner in West Hartford described a late-1920s house with layers of peeling paint, wood rot and a front porch balcony with substantial dry rot; Rest Tech's carpenters rebuilt the balcony supports and fascia, the painters spent three-plus weeks on the house and garage, and owner Rich DeSena sent photos while the customer was on vacation. The Branford, CT painter has 4.8 stars from 85 Google ratings and says it has been in business 27 years. In an August 2026 HomeAdvisor review, a customer said the crew scraped old paint, replaced worn cedar shakes, fixed a handrail and reframed a basement window, then came back to unstick 100-year-old windows. A June 2025 reviewer described broken clapboards replaced, porch flooring rebuilt and a doorway resized on a small Victorian painted in a polychrome scheme. An August 2026 customer said the crew painted a complex Queen Anne Victorian, and another that month said Rich inspected the house the day they called and had a team there the following Monday after their insurer required a repaint. Inside, an August 2026 review describes a 6000 sq ft Westport interior with everything covered to keep it clean. In an August 2023 1-star review, a customer said they received no detailed signed contract or 3-day rescission clause, that downspouts were taken down before a heavy July 16 rain, that the crew painted in humid or wet weather, and that the company pushed flat paint and Sherwin Williams over the satin finish and Benjamin Moore they asked for. An April 2024 1-star review calls it a "Terrible paint job." In an October 2026 1-star review, a caller said the person who answered told them staining their fence was not a job for the company and to hire a handyman.

Rest Tech did a great job painting the exterior of our home. Rich communicated well throughout and all the team members were friendly and conscientious. The house looks great and we appreciate the attention to detail. Very pleased we selected Rest Tech to work with!
This has nothing to do with work that was already done on my home, but before even getting out the gate, I called this company, someone answered and I explained I had a wood fence installed when I first moved here from Los Angeles, cost me 30k to do, and thought I should hire a professional person since I spent so much on it. Without a beat the person told me that it's not the sort of job he would do, and that I should hire a handy man. I even googled whether a 30k fence should be stained by just a handy man, and even Ai said, 'no that would not be suggested because you want a professional knowing the right moisture protection to apply etc.' Clearly the owner of this company has not been informed that being kind to people might be a better way to handle things, since you never know who has word of mouth around town. I work in the design and building industry...
We’re delighted with the result of the exterior house painting. Richard and his crew were efficient, responsive and professional. Thank you!
Rich and his team did a fantastic job painting the interior of my house. Rich has been responsive and professional from the get go. They painted the entire inside of my house - walls, ceilings, and trim. It was a huge job and they were on time, did a great job cleaning up afterward, and the painting looks fantastic.
Rich and his team painted the exterior of our Queen Anne Victorian home this Summer. He's very communicative and his team did an incredible job with a home that was very complex with many intricate details. We are thrilled with the results and would highly recommend Rich and his team for any project in the future! They went above and beyond!
