# Timothy J Seaton Painting **Trade:** House Painting · **Phone:** (774) 216-0706 · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.6/5** (medium confidence) — from 12 reviews across 2 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Timothy J Seaton Painting is a house painter working across Cape Cod, with customers citing jobs in Provincetown and Truro alongside interior and exterior residential painting. Every review on file is five stars, and the writing is unusually specific: homeowners describe Tim finding and repairing cracks, nail pops, and water-damaged drywall before painting, sanding and patching walls and trim to a smooth finish, and matching trim lines and color joins precisely. One reviewer credits him with restoring painted surfaces in a circa-1700 home to a period-appropriate finish, calling it meticulous preservation work rather than a routine paint job. Others describe him catching problems mid-project, including alerting a homeowner to a storm-driven roof leak and laying down protective sheeting before it caused damage. Reviewers consistently describe him as responsive, punctual, and easy to reach for updates, and several note the work came in on time and within budget. Google shows a 4.7-star average from 13 ratings, in line with the written reviews. One thing worth confirming before booking: the state registry shows his Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (HIC 202799) as expired, so homeowners should ask about current licensing status directly. For a homeowner on the Cape looking for careful interior or exterior painting, especially work on an older home where matching trim and repairing underlying damage matters, the review history here is deep and specific. Confirm the license status and current availability before scheduling. **Strengths:** - Meticulous prep work — reviewers consistently praise sanding, patching before painting - Historic home restoration — praised for careful work on a 1700s house - Responsive communication — reviewers cite punctuality and proactive updates during jobs - Handles hidden damage — repeatedly caught and repaired water damage, drywall cracks **Concerns:** - HIC license status — MA registry shows license 202799 currently expired ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Google shows a 4.7-star average from 13 ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Timothy%20J%20Seaton%20Painting&query_place_id=ChIJd7GAy9-UFCsRrwrksFn63PM) — “Google: 4.7★ from 13 ratings” - State registry shows the contractor's MA Home Improvement Contractor license (HIC 202799, held by Timothy J Seaton) as expired _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://contractorhub.mass.gov/s/hic-contractor-search) — “MA hic license 202799 registry-verified expired — registry holder of record: Timothy J Seaton” - Reviewers repeatedly praise meticulous prep work, sanding and patching walls and trim before painting _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNla01Ed2ZnEAE!2m1!1s0x0:0xf3dcfa59b0e40aaf!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgICekMDwfg%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ Tim just finished painting the interior of our entire house.
