Ridgeline Painting is a Branford painter that has taken on houses with aging siding. In a November 2023 Google review, a customer says Jim researched the right paint for a new type of siding on their contemporary Branford house's addition, and that areas with age and rotting wood came out well. An October 2022 reviewer says the crew had to troubleshoot very old shingles and was upfront about all costs. In April 2022, a customer worried about badly aged aluminum siding says it came out beautifully, that Jim checked in on the job, and that two houses on their street asked for the company after seeing it. The Branford company also paints cabinets. An April 2022 customer says their cabinets, painted bright white, were still in perfect condition more than two years later, and two 2019 Angi customers say they are thrilled with their painted kitchen cabinets. A February 2018 customer says Jim McDonnell and crew prioritized the work so it finished before the move-in and used Benjamin Moore paints, with accent walls in several rooms.

Ridgeline did a great job painting the exterior of our contemporary style house in Branford. Jim took the time to research the right type of paint for a new type of siding we used for an addition, and we appreciated that attention to detail. The entire crew was highly professional, super responsive and just nice people to deal with. We had a few areas that needed special attention due to age and rotting wood and everything came out great. We will definitely work with these guys again and happy to make this recommendation.
If we could give Ridgeline Painting10 stars, we would. When they say customer satisfaction is their ultimate goal, they truly mean it. The painters and the site supervisor show up on time, do impeccable work, clean up every day and they are up front about all costs. Jim and his crew are total professionals. They took care of our property as if it was their own, and even though we had to trouble shoot along the way to deal with very old shingles, the final result was beautiful. We are so grateful to the Ridgeline team. We highly recommend you give them a call – you will be so happy you did!
Ridgeline did a fantastic job in every way. The prepping and painting were excellent -- all high-quality work, very careful and thorough -- and the crew were incredibly respectful of our property. Communication was terrific, too. They always let us know what to expect and showed up exactly when promised. Jim McDonnell has somehow managed to hire only super-nice people who reflect his values -- i.e. doing a great job, communicating clearly and honestly, and making sure that the customer is happy. We can happily recommend them wholeheartedly.
Jim and his team at Ridgeline Painting did a phenomenal job on our home. We had badly aged aluminum siding and were worried there would be problems, but it came out beautifully. They took great attention to detail, and the guys were all very friendly and helpful when we had questions or thoughts. The owner, Jim, consistently checked in on the job and asked if things were going the way we intended. We are still getting compliments from neighbors walking by and I believe two houses on our street have asked for their services since they painted our house. The price was very reasonable. They didn't rush through and the quality shows as a result. We would absolutely use them again and recommend to anyone looking to paint their home.
