Best painters in New London

★★★★★4.8 (37 reviews)score 76/100

Ring's End is the local paint and hardware retailer, and its 4.8 rating across 37 reviews reflects staff that customers describe as genuinely knowledgeable, plus a wide stock range that includes specialty brush brands like Corona. It's the strongest option here for DIYers who want product guidance rather than a hired crew. One review did describe inconsistent in-store treatment, which is worth keeping in mind.

• Staff regularly praised for product knowledge
• Wide inventory including specialty brush brands like Corona
• Good source of guidance for DIY paint projects
• Local, independent business rather than a big-box chain

Watch out: One reviewer described being treated dismissively and pushed toward a product that didn't fit the job, so it helps to be specific about what you need.

Services: exterior painting, commercial painting, wallpaper installation, epoxy floor coating

★★★★★5 (23 reviews)score 75/100

Carlos and his crew have a perfect record, all 23 reviews are five stars, with repeat clients spanning New London out to Westerly, RI. The recurring praise is for precise trim and detail work, jobs finished on or ahead of schedule, and a crew that leaves the site clean when done. Pricing comes up as competitive across interior, exterior, and epoxy jobs.

• Trim and detail work called out repeatedly by reviewers
• Jobs completed on time or ahead of schedule
• Thorough cleanup after each job
• Competitive pricing across interior, exterior, and epoxy work

Services: epoxy floor coating, cabinet refinishing, pressure washing, interior painting

★★★★★5 (28 reviews)score 72/100

This is the pick for vehicle paint work rather than a house, an auto body shop with 28 five-star reviews built up over six years. Reviewers name Jose and Dave specifically for exact color matching and straightforward, honest assessments, with turnaround sometimes as fast as a few days even on rust damage or a previous shop's bad repair.

• Exact paint color matching on vehicle repairs
• Fast turnaround, sometimes within days
• Fair pricing relative to the quality delivered
• Takes on tough jobs like rust damage and prior repair fixes

Watch out: The review history stretches back six years with a lower recency score than others here, so it's worth confirming current wait times.

Both reviews on record for this crew are five stars and describe fast, responsive service at a fair price. That's a thin sample, just two reviews, so treat it as an early positive signal rather than a full track record.

• Responsive to questions before booking
• Fast, efficient turnaround reported

Watch out: Only two reviews are on record, so there isn't much history to judge consistency against.

Services: interior painting, exterior painting, commercial painting

★★★★★5 (6 reviews)score 59/100

Bobby's team has six reviews and all six are five stars, with customers pointing to careful color choices and specialty detail work like window glazing and fireplace refinishing. Reviewers also mention the crew adapting to last-minute changes and cleaning up jobs left unfinished by other contractors, though the sample size is still small.

• Skilled at wood refinishing and detail work like glazed windows
• Accommodates mid-project changes

Watch out: Only six reviews so far and none very recent, so it's worth confirming current availability directly.

Services: cabinet refinishing, interior painting, exterior painting, commercial painting

★★★★☆3.8 (16 reviews)score 51/100

Lou's covers interior painting alongside moving and handyman work, and satisfied reviewers point to competitive pricing and an efficient crew. The record is genuinely mixed, though: several one-star reviews describe cancellations, no-shows, and trouble reaching the owner, so this comes with real caveats attached.

• Competitive local pricing
• Interior painting praised by repeat clients
• Covers painting, moving, and handyman work under one roof

Watch out: Multiple reviewers report cancellations, no-shows, and poor communication, so confirm scheduling in writing before committing.

Services: interior painting, exterior painting, commercial painting, licensed insured

★★★★★5 (3 reviews)score 48/100

Northeast Painting's three reviews are all five stars, but that's a small enough sample that it's hard to draw firm conclusions yet about what to expect on a larger job. It's included on the strength of a clean early record, with more data needed over time.

• Perfect five-star rating across its reviews so far
• Focused specifically on painting work

Watch out: Only three reviews total, so there isn't enough evidence yet for a confident read on consistency.

Services: interior painting, exterior painting, commercial painting

Sgott Mackenzie Art lists painting and sculpture work, which sets it apart from the standard house-painting crews on this list, but there are no customer reviews yet to confirm quality or turnaround. It's worth a direct conversation if you're after custom or decorative work rather than a proven track record.

• Offers decorative and artistic painting alongside standard work
• Sculpture background suggests custom creative capability

Watch out: No reviews are available yet, so there's no customer feedback to check quality or reliability against.

• Listed specifically under painting services in New London
• Worth a direct inquiry for scope and pricing

Watch out: No reviews yet, so there's no track record to evaluate before reaching out.
