Painting and the repairs that go with older houses account for much of what customers describe at Suburban. The South Glastonbury company advertises interior and exterior painting, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, carpentry and rot repair. Its Connecticut home improvement contractor registration is active. An August 2024 customer described an exterior transformation that included replacing rotten boards, filling holes and tuck-pointing brick. With the customer out of state, John sent text updates and discussed additional work. A September 2024 customer said they had used John and Suburban for about 30 years, including six house paintings, and praised the crew’s preparation and handling of rot and other old-house repairs. The work extends into kitchens, basements and floors. A March 2026 customer praised a completed kitchen remodel. In June 2025, another customer described a patio with custom wrought-iron railings followed by a basement remodel with vinyl flooring; a kitchen remodel was still planned at the time of that review. A November 2024 customer described removing carpet and installing vinyl flooring in a church classroom, with cleanup afterward. An April 2020 customer reported stair-tread and wood-floor refinishing alongside repainting banisters and spindles, completed on time. Communication comes up in dated accounts across several years. A March 2026 customer described painting, stair-railing alterations, floors and general handyman work by John and several teams, and said he was easy to work with. A February 2026 bathroom customer praised his responsiveness and prompt resolution of an issue. In May 2021, a customer described wallpaper removal, wall restoration and painting, plus a bathroom update involving a vanity, mirror and lighting, with frequent communication throughout. One November 2023 customer described the walls-and-trim painting as acceptable but said it took a little longer than expected. A June 2017 exterior-painting customer described additional sanding costs after more old wood needed preparation, and said John partially credited the extra preparation time.

John and the different teams that he brought in did a great job across a number of different areas including painting, stair railing alterations, floors, and general handy work. Would recommend and was always easy to work with throughout the process.
Johnny of Suburban Painters is probably one of the Nicest men you’ll ever meet Plus, he’s a great painter as well. I recommend Johnny.
Did a great job on my kitchen remodel I would highly recommend
John was responsive, took feedback well and quickly resolved my issue with my bathroom!
Suburban did a great job removing the old rug and installing a new vinyl floor for our church classroom. The guys were professional and efficient. They cleaned up the area when the job was done.
