Serving Durham, CT
Our Three Step Painting Process
01
Prep and Protect
We begin by covering floors, furniture, and fixtures to protect your space. Surfaces are cleaned, holes or cracks are filled, and everything is sanded smooth. Good prep work helps the paint go on evenly and last longer.
02
Prime and Paint
Once everything is prepped, we apply primer if needed, then follow with clean, even coats of paint. We use steady brush and roller techniques, paying attention to corners, edges, and details for a smooth and consistent finish.
03
Review and Wrap Up
After the paint dries, we remove coverings, reinstall hardware, and clean up the area. Then we walk through the job with you to check for any spots that need touch-up. We don’t leave until everything looks right.

I stumbled upon MJ’s painting and boy was I happy I did. They did a beautiful job. I will definitely use them again.
Marc is very quick to respond and come out for an estimate. Very professional, courteous and reasonable pricing. Would definitely use MJ's Painting again
Update - deeply disappointed that I asked for a quote for another area of my home and they are no longer responding to me. Even if they didn't want the job, should have the courtesy to say sorry we can't do it. First time I have hired a painter and I can promise, I will never paint a room myself again. Marc Sr. Is great, and Jr came to the rescue to help move some heavy furniture. I will definitely use them again and again.
We highly recommend MJs for your painting job! The results are beautiful and Marc was great to work with. He and his team stuck to the proposed schedule, did great work and always cleaned up afterwards. We will be bringing them back for more projects in the future! Thank you, Marc Jr& Marc ,Sr!!
I highly recommend MJ's painting! We used them to restain the exterior of the house. They provided excellent service. They kept me informed before and during the process. They got the house done in a week as promised. Excellent company that is use again.
Great precise immaculate workmanship. They went beyond my expectation.
Jim, Dave and crew did a great job painting our entire home and new room above the garage so we could put it on the market. They got the job done ahead of schedule and our home sold in 1 day on the market above asking price. Thanks so much.
Marc and his team did an AMAZING job in refinishing very old kitchen cabinets that I have in a finished basement. The cabinets were probably 35 years old. They replaced the bases which were rotted and then completely sanded/stripped down and refinished, as well as replacing the hardware. I would highly recommend Marc and his team as they are responsive, thorough, and their prices are very fair.
We hired MJs for some interior painting and they absolutely crushed it! Super quick to respond and did a phenomenal paint job. Even finished way ahead of schedule! Very personable and polite. Will and have already recommended to friends!
Marc also installed a new handrail. He was very professional and did an amazing job.
Had Marc paint 2 rooms (ceiling, trim, doors and walls. Did a great job! Done in 2 days!!! Would highly recommend!
MJ’s painting did a great job, the house looks brand new! They were professional and didn’t miss any details! Would highly recommend for any projects!
It was a pleasure and a great choice to hire MJ painting. I interviewed five different companies before hiring them. They did the aluminum trim of my house, which is a deep cranberry. And scraped and repainted my patio roof. I am already looking to hire them back to paint my whole house next year. Thank you for your professionalism, and I look forward to working with you again!
What a professional job by MJ's Painting! They painted the exterior columns on our front porch. They sanded the door and applied a primer. They washed and painted the porch. This is the best our front porch has looked in a long time.
Great painting company. We are very pleased with the results. We feel they went above and beyond.
Mark and his team at MJ’s did a fantastic job at both our house we sold and the new one. Highly recommended.
Mark came and assessed the situation. He was very professional. I had plaster work, tobacco remediation issues, and peeling ceilings. Mark and crew did a FANTASTIC job. they went above and beyond, replacing or painting switch plates, painting the heating and cooling vents, and paying attention to details. A primer and two coats of paint on each surface, I could not be more pleased. He even had a gap in his schedule and was able to start the following week!
