The Persnickety Painters is a Manchester, New Hampshire painting company led by David Miller, who says he has painted professionally since the 1990s and returned to the trade in 2011. The company handles interior and exterior painting, cabinet and built-in refinishing, deck and porch work, drywall and plaster repairs, pressure washing, and related preparation. Its website identifies David as owner and lead project manager, lists an EPA lead-paint certification, and says the business is fully insured.
Homeowners consistently describe careful preparation, crisp finishes, protection of furnishings, and clean work areas. Reviews cover whole-home interiors, ceilings, trim and doors, kitchens and cabinets, exterior siding, decks, wallpaper and texture removal, plaster repairs, and power washing. Several detailed accounts describe cabinet doors being sprayed off-site, difficult cathedral ceilings completed cleanly, water-damaged ceilings repaired to match surrounding surfaces, and multi-room projects finished on tight schedules. Reviewers also repeatedly mention clear estimates, progress updates, color guidance, responsive communication, and crews who are respectful in occupied homes. The all-time record spans 2023–2026, with 82 reviews across four sources; a 2026 Houzz profile shows a 5-star rating from one review.
One Google reviewer said the company came out, took photos, and promised a price and schedule but did not follow up, attributing the silence to the company being busy with realtors. That is a specific scheduling concern to raise before booking, especially for short-notice work. The website says projects are served in Manchester and surrounding areas within a 25-mile radius, so confirm that the job address, timing, crew, repair scope, and any cabinet or off-site spraying logistics fit the current schedule.
They are a strong fit for homeowners seeking detailed interior or exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, and careful preparation or repair work. Ask for a written scope and estimate, confirm the proposed start and completion dates, and request the current insurance and lead-paint-certification details for the project.
