A recent customer said John and his group just finished painting the exterior of their home, helped them decide what to prioritize on a large project and helped with color choices. Welch's Painting describes itself as a team of painters serving homes and businesses in the Bar Harbor region, also offering pressure washing and soft washing, and names Bar Harbor, Mount Desert, Southwest Harbor and Tremont as its service area. It says it has been in business for 34 years. In a 2025 review, a customer said John and his team painted the entire interior of their house while they worked from home, and that the space was left tidy every night. A 2025 reviewer said the team, made up of John's adult children, checked in when they found areas of possible water damage and came up with solutions. A 2023 customer said John's crew painted their camp, a second job after painting their house in 2019, and that the work was on time and within his estimate. A 2023 reviewer said a room needed four coats of paint, more than expected, during humid days. In a 2022 review, a customer said John stained the trim of a large, high-gabled cedar house and finished ahead of the estimated time. A 2022 reviewer said the crew painted the exterior of a house, barn and garage whose buildings range from 15 to more than 110 years old. A 2022 customer said John's crew cleaned and stained multi-level cedar decking.
John and his group just finished painting the exterior of our home and did a spectacular job! They worked quickly and meticulously; helped us make decisions about what to prioritize in a large project; and were so helpful when we needed to make color choices. In addition, he and his crew were an absolute joy to work with - easy communication and exceptional reliability. Highly recommend!
Welch's painting are life changers. If I could give 100 stars, I would. John and his team were absolutely incredible and so communicative. They partnered with us to make sure we got exactly what we wanted, with a phenomenal end result. John took all of the stress out of our first week with a new home, working quickly, with the highest level of attention to detail, complete cleanliness, and total flexibility (we had several other teams in and out, and they worked around it all). John made all the difference, and our home looks amazing. We had challenging issues with old walls, finicky trim, and a lot of need for TLC. John stayed in close communication and ensured that every detail was understood and taken care of. I cannot recommend Welch's enough - best painter (and honestly overall contractor) with whom we have ever worked.
John and his team (made up of his incredibly competent adult children) are wonderful painters! Their prep work and attention to detail is incredible and our house looks very beautiful! John communicates and made it easy to live in the house at the same time as they worked efficiently to complete the job. They checked in with me when they found areas of possible water or other damage and came up with good solutions. I recommend them highly for exterior and interior painting!
I cannot recommend John highly enough. We hired John and his team to paint the entire interior of our house. The experience exceeded expectations, particularly since I was working from home throughout the process. The team worked quickly and efficiently, completing the job much faster than anticipated. They were meticulous, and the quality of the finish is excellent. Most importantly, disruption was minimal. John and his team were incredibly easy to be around, especially while I worked from home. They were respectful of my workspace, making the whole process non-disruptive. Cleanup was impeccable; the space was left tidy every night, and once the job was finished, you wouldn't know he was here if it weren't for the fresh, beautiful paint. If you are looking for a highly professional painter who delivers great results quickly and respects your home look no further.
Welch's painting did an amazing job painting our enclosed porch. John was great to work with and showed care in completing the job to the highest standard. Very happy we found them.
