That October 2024 reviewer" doc_version: "2026-10-19" last_updated: "2026-10-19" --- # STAR PAINTERS LLC **Trade:** House Painting · **Address:** 260 French St, Watertown, CT 06795 · **Phone:** (203) 706-0799 · **Website:** https://www.star-painters.com/ · **Languages:** English, Spanish **Rating: 4.8/5** (high confidence) — from 83 reviews across 10 sources. 99% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 9 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read One Star Painters customer reached his cottage on Cedar Island in Clinton only by boat, and the crew made the trip for ten days. That October 2024 reviewer had also hired Demir eight years earlier for a house in Killingworth. A June 2026 review names Demir as the owner of the Watertown company, which says it has been in business 21 years and holds a 5.0 from 110 ratings on Angi, a 4.9 from 68 on Google, a 4.9 from 59 on Thumbtack and a 4.8 from 17 on Houzz. In 2026, a September customer said Demir came to see a newly built front porch the same day and fit the job in before a larger one as fall weather approached; a June reviewer, on a third job with the company, said Demir "was on site each day." An April 2026 customer said the crew prepared the surfaces and repaired minor wall damage before painting during a home renovation. In March 2026, a reviewer had popcorn ceilings removed, a condo painted, luxury vinyl flooring installed in every room and a basement concrete floor sealed with epoxy. A September 2025 customer had the house exterior painted and the deck stained with Benjamin Moore products, rotting boards replaced and every window and door wrapped. An April 2025 reviewer said a "large, ugly, peeling deck" was refinished in two days. A June 2024 Houzz reviewer who has used the company for 10 years said it repaints the siding and trim and seals a cedar deck, and that Demir handles faux and Venetian plaster finishes. In November 2024, a Houzz reviewer said Demir agreed to the job, "asked for cash and never gave us the proposal we asked for." Its Connecticut home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0650176, is active under Star Painters LLC. Its Better Business Bureau grade is an A+, and the BBB lists it as accredited. **Strengths:** - Owner on site — a June 2026 customer saw Demir there each day - Decks and exteriors — 2024–2025 reviews describe staining and siding - Long-term clients — a 2024 customer has used them for 10 years **Concerns:** - Cash and no proposal — a November 2024 Houzz reviewer's complaint ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Holds an active Connecticut home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0650176, under Star Painters LLC _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://www.elicense.ct.gov/Lookup/LicenseLookup.aspx) — “CT hic license HIC.0650176 registry-verified active — registry holder of record: STAR PAINTERS LLC” - Better Business Bureau grade of A+, listed as accredited _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ct/watertown/profile/pressure-washing/star-painters-llc-0111-87112003) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A+” - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ct/watertown/profile/pressure-washing/star-painters-llc-0111-87112003) — “Better Business Bureau: accredited / certified / member” - 5.0 from 110 ratings on Angi, 4.9 from 68 on Google, 4.9 from 59 on Thumbtack and 4.8 from 17 on Houzz _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Star%20Painters%20LLC&query_place_id=ChIJB-rTFJvq54kRg2iundYAfnU) — “Google: 4.9★ from 68 ratings” - [Houzz](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/painters/star-painters-llc-pfvwus-pf~1200361976) — “Houzz: 4.8★ from 17 ratings” - [Thumbtack](https://www.thumbtack.com/ct/watertown/interior-painting/star-painters-llc/service/581906841456353284) — “Thumbtack: 4.9★ from 59 ratings” - [Angi](https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ct/watertown/star-painters%2C-llc-reviews-7323541.htm) — “Angi: 5.0★ from 110 ratings” - A June 2026 review names Demir as the owner _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT25sRlMxUkJZa1pJZEdaNmIwcE5hbmQ2U0VGQ2FXYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x757e00d69dae6883!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOnlFS1RBYkZIdGZ6b0pNand6SEFCaWc%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ Demir, owner of Star Painters LLC and his associate, Vaid completed my project in about two days.
