Best painters in New Haven

★★★★★5 (48 reviews)score 85/100

Kennedy Painting Pros posts the highest composite score on this list, backed by a perfect 5.0 average across 48 reviews. Clients consistently mention punctual crews, clear updates throughout the job, and finished paint work that holds up on both houses and commercial buildings. With a medium confidence rating from a solid review count, this is a safe bet for an all-around repaint.

• Perfect 5.0 rating across 48 reviews
• Project lead guides color and finish selections
• Shows up on schedule and finishes on time
• Handles residential and commercial jobs, including tricky exterior conditions

Services: exterior painting, epoxy floor coating, interior painting, commercial painting

★★★★★4.8 (69 reviews)score 82/100

Go Painting Connecticut earns a high-confidence score from 69 reviews, the largest sample on this list, with most clients praising Chris and Danilo's crew for careful prep and honest pricing. The team stands out for specialty finishes like masonry limewash and feature walls on top of standard interior and exterior work. One detailed 1-star review flags real problems with a wallpaper job and slow follow-up, so that's worth reading before booking wallpaper specifically.

• Detail-focused crew with color consultation
• Punctual, transparent communication from Chris
• Fair pricing relative to job scope
• Custom specialty finishes including limewash

Watch out: One reviewer reported serious wallpaper prep issues and an unresolved dispute over follow-up work, worth asking about if wallpaper is part of the job.

★★★★★4.9 (39 reviews)score 82/100

S.B. Painting Co. has built a high-confidence track record from 39 reviews, with realtors recommending Terry's crew to clients for both quick touch-ups and full repaints. Jobs across New Haven and nearby towns get fast, free quotes and often wrap ahead of schedule, with clean lines and proper prep drawing repeat praise. One interior job about a year ago had chipping and prep problems, but it reads as an outlier against an otherwise steady record.

• Owner Terry works directly on color and timeline
• Often finishes ahead of schedule
• Thorough prep, including power washing and priming
• Customers returning after 15 years

Watch out: One interior job from about a year ago had chipping and rushed prep, so it's worth confirming the prep process upfront.

★★★★★4.7 (18 reviews)score 71/100

Connecticut Best Painting Company keeps a strong 4.7 average across 18 reviews, with Mr. Gerson personally involved in estimates and on-site work. Reviewers point to punctual crews, fair pricing, and clean job sites on both houses and commercial spaces. The review count is smaller than the top three, so the score carries a bit more uncertainty.

• Owner directly involved in estimates and projects
• Punctual and efficient crews
• Fair pricing
• Thorough prep and cleanup

Watch out: Fewer reviews than the top-ranked businesses, so there's a bit less data to judge consistency.

★★★★★4.8 (21 reviews)score 69/100

B&S Painting LLC has built its reputation mainly on cabinet refinishing, with homeowners describing Fernando's before-and-after results as transformative. Work also covers bathroom reglazing and interior finishes around the East Shore area, generally finishing early and at reasonable rates. One reviewer mentioned a no-show on a scheduled job, so confirming the appointment ahead of time is a good idea.

• Cabinet refinishing with dramatic results
• Fernando and the crew known by name in reviews
• Jobs often finish ahead of schedule
• Reasonable rates

Watch out: One review mentioned a no-show, so a confirmation call before the appointment is worthwhile.

★★★★★5 (18 reviews)score 68/100

PRALI Painting LLC has a perfect five-star average across all 18 of its reviews, with Fabiano's crew called out for finishing faster than promised and pricing jobs honestly. The range covers house interiors and exteriors, cabinets, and commercial work like gyms, including homes that take a beating from salt-water exposure. The review count is still on the smaller side, which keeps confidence lower despite the spotless score.

• Delivers ahead of schedule
• Transparent, detailed quotes
• Adds scope extras at no charge
• Experienced on historic and salt-spray homes

Watch out: All reviews are five stars, but the sample of 18 is smaller than the top-ranked businesses on this list.

★★★★☆4 (1 reviews)score 67/100

Fy Construction Services LLC has only one review on record, a 4-star rating with limited detail, so there isn't enough evidence yet to judge the painting work specifically. The business operates across multiple trades in New Haven County, which can be handy for combining painting with other repairs. Treat the score here as a starting point rather than a proven track record.

• Responsive to direct contact
• Multi-trade service capability

Watch out: Only one review on file, so there isn't much history to judge painting quality against.

Services: commercial painting, interior painting

★★★★★5 (4 reviews)score 58/100

The 5th Collier Painting has four reviews, all five stars, with clients specifically calling out Mr. Collier's work across multiple rooms plus wallpaper installation. The small sample size means the score comes with real uncertainty, but everyone who has reviewed the business so far says they'd hire him again. Worth a look if wallpaper is part of the job.

• Professional work across multiple rooms
• Repeat customers

Watch out: Only four reviews on file, so it's a small sample to base a decision on.

colorful painting llc has just one review on record, a 1-star rating, which isn't enough data to draw a fair conclusion in either direction. It's listed here for completeness among New Haven painting providers, but there's no track record yet to back up a recommendation. Asking for references directly before booking is the safer move.

★★★★★5 (2 reviews)score 47/100

Extreme Building And Remodeling LLC has two reviews, both five stars, a promising early sign but too small a sample to draw firm conclusions. The business covers remodeling alongside painting, which can suit homeowners bundling multiple projects. Treat the rating as an early signal rather than an established track record.

• Perfect rating so far, from two reviews
• Combines remodeling and painting capability

Watch out: Only two reviews on record, so the rating is an early signal rather than a proven history.
