Customer Reviews

Ken Murray

We hired Clean Cut to paint our kitchen and bath cabinets and to remove the old popcorn ceiling. They are one of the most professional contractors I’ve ever used. From the initial meeting and quote, through the actual work, and even the follow up, their communication and follow up skills were incredible. Everyone I work with within the company was great. I highly recommend them.

We had a really great experience working with Clean Cut. Communication was always prompt (sometimes within minutes) and they were flexible with our timeline. We had the exterior of our 1800s-era farmhouse painted, and it's never looked better. We had a slight issue with some of the painting coverage at the end of the project and Tristan made sure it was fixed right away. They are not the cheapest painting company out there, but their customer service was well worth the money we paid for the service, and we would hire them again!

The four buildings of our old family camp were long overdue for scraping and painting, exterior, screen porch interior and interior brick-face that required removing and replacing a wood-burning stove. Not an easy job. Clean Cut came highly recommended – Tristan and Kara were responsive and friendly. We couldn't be here when the crew came, but they sent pictures of the finished job, professional, detailed and obviously done with pride. We were very pleased when seeing their work in-person. Our turn to recommend Clean Cut.

Clean Cut Painting, Tyler and crew were amazing, tackling a huge complicated project. They were extremely careful to protect windows from splatter. The workmanship was above the best. They were thoughtful and courteous.

Clean Cut pressure washed and stained my Woodstock Maine camp and garage in early July. They had two painters on the job, Wyatt and Eli, who were prepared, professional and worked their butts off. They got the job done in three days and did outstanding work. I've had experience with other painting firms over the years, but non can compare to Clean Cut. I can recommend them without hesitation or reservation!! Thank you Wyatt, Eli and Clean Cut Painting!!
