Schmidt Painting

Schmidt Painting is a Hyannis painting company that Cape Cod homeowners keep calling back — several reviewers describe hiring Derrick Schmidt for repeat work spanning 12, 14, even 20-plus years. The core call is interior and exterior painting, but the crew regularly picks up the carpentry that comes with an older Cape house: rebuilding decks, replacing rotted trim around windows, and general wood repair. The volume backs up the loyalty: 116 Google ratings average 4.9 stars and Houzz shows a perfect 5.0 from 54 ratings, with 87 reviews on file across seven sources since 2021. The story that repeats across them is preparation and follow-through — reviewers mention thorough prep before the finish coat, crews that clean up so thoroughly you'd never know they were there, and Derrick personally checking multi-day jobs. One customer needed a big exterior job finished fast to sell a house and said Derrick turned the quote and the work around on their timeline; several others describe multi-project relationships that started with an exterior repaint and grew into interior work, deck staining, and trim replacement. A handful of reviews also mention smaller side jobs — a plaster wall repair, a vinyl-plank floor install, a pressure-washed deck — done alongside the paint work rather than as a separate specialty. Two things worth asking about directly. Schmidt Painting's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (HIC #160204) shows expired in the state registry, so it's worth confirming current status and insurance before signing anything. And in a 2025 review, one customer described some expensive Japanese evergreens getting damaged during a re-staining job — Derrick discounted the bill to address it, but it's the one blemish on an otherwise clean record. For a Cape Cod exterior repaint, an interior refresh, or the trim and deck work that tends to come with an older coastal house, Schmidt Painting is a well-established call — just confirm the registration is current before booking.
