Tobacco Valley Painting is a Simsbury house painter whose website lists Avon, Burlington, Canton, West Hartford and Simsbury as its service area. The company says it offers free estimates. On Google it carries 1.2 stars from 5 ratings. A 2022 customer said the exterior of their home started to peel in several areas about a year after it was painted, and that Dale Beaulieu told them he would be back in a few weeks to repair it but never showed. That 2022 customer said they were out over $7000 for the job, and that the painter they hired to fix it said the surfaces had not been prepped properly before painting. A 2024 customer said corners were cut, a couple parts of the job were not finished, and later calls and texts were ignored. A 2024 reviewer wrote "He doesn't pay his vendors" and said they were sending him to collections. A 2025 reviewer, calling it formerly Tovall painting, complained about its work ethic. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0558017, as active, held by Dale R Beaulieu.
Formelly Tovall painting, horrible work ethic
Corners were cut, and a couple parts of the job were not finished. I expressed the concern in person but “that’s the way it’s supposed to look”. Really? Subsequent calls/texts were ignored. I wanted to like Dale and was surprised by the lack of follow up.
He doesn't pay his vendors. Refuses to answer emails and phone calls. Sending him to collections
UPDATE. I reached out to Dale Beaulieu after the exterior or our home started to peel in several areas about a year after they painted it. He texted and called me back and even came to visit while painting our neighbors home. He told me he would be back in a few weeks to repair it. He never showed. I continued to try and contact him and he stopped returning my calls and texts. I'm now out over $7000 for the job and had to hire someone else to fix his mistakes. The painter I hired to fix it said that Toval did not prep the surfaces of my home properly before painting. Now I know why why were so fast. I really trusted Dale and wish this never had happened. (ORIGINAL REVIEW-Toval painted the exterior of my home in May 2018 - fast, neat, and clean quality work and a great value. Respectful staff and really nice people! Highly recommend them!)
