We used Seth's Painting & Carpentry to have our house painted last Fall. Sean did the whole project pretty much on his own. He did a great job. He was very friendly and easy to work with. We have received so many compliments on our home since it was repainted.

I recently hired Seth Paints to repaint my home, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, the team was professional, efficient, and truly skilled at their craft. The foreman, Max, was absolutely wonderful—he was communicative, knowledgeable, and ensured every detail was perfect. The crew worked diligently, paying close attention to every corner and trim, leaving my home looking fresh and beautiful. Not only was the quality of work outstanding, but they also completed the job on time and kept everything clean throughout the process. If you're looking for a reliable and high-quality painting contractor, I highly recommend Seth Paints. Thank you, Max and the team, for an amazing job!

We are very happy with the work Seth did on our rehab. We had several projects we needed done... second story porch addition, kitchen and bath remodels, new doors and windows, jacking, and painting. We lived 800 ,miles away while the work was being done, and they kept us informed with photos and video calls. They did a great job, we would recommend them to anyone doing work on their home.

Seth’s team just wrapped up our house and it came out beautifully. We have an older home with cedar shakes, and the back side of the house was really peeling and warped from the weather coming in on that side of the house. His crew was able to replace what needed repairing, and scraped/ painted the rest. Love that we were able to use what we had vs replacing/ residing the whole house. Overall the crew was really professional, friendly, and very responsive to questions along the way. Also love that they seemed as excited as we were to paint the house black?? Would definitely hire them again in the future if we have another painting project.

Perry Singleton

We used Seth Paints to paint the exterior of our home and could not be more pleased. Seth's painter Greg did the work, and he was professional, meticulous, and incredibly hard working. He texted us daily about each step of the process and to let us know when he would arrive. He scraped the old flaking paint relentlessly, which was impressive, and touched up blemishes in the paint after he applied the second coat. He also painted our shutters, window boxes, freestanding boxes, french doors, and back porch floor, which were not explicitly in the contract but completed upon request. He stored his tools and paints at the end of each day and cleaned up paint splatter when the job was complete. We would certainly use Seth Paints again and recommend them to others.
