About Us

Our Story

The company began in Stonington, Connecticut, where owner John Cyr grew up and learned the painting and restoration trade early. Working under skilled painters and running crews by age 14, John built a reputation for doing things right. That foundation of craftsmanship, integrity, and attention to detail remains at the heart of everything we do.

Today, we're known for that same standard: delivering the highest quality interior and exterior painting services, treating people with respect, and never compromising on quality—no matter the project.

Owner-Involved on Every Project

What truly sets us apart is John Cyr's personal involvement in every project. From initial consultation through final inspection, you work directly with the owner—not a salesperson, not a project manager, but the person whose name is on the company.

This hands-on approach means direct accountability, expert problem-solving from four decades of experience, and consistent quality standards that reflect on our family name and reputation. It's increasingly rare in today's market, but it's how we've always done business.

Our Values

Quality Over Speed

We complete projects efficiently and respect your timeline, but we never sacrifice proper preparation or attention to detail for the sake of speed. The work we do today must perform beautifully for years to come.

Honest Communication

We provide straightforward assessments, honest recommendations, and transparent pricing. If we identify concerns, we discuss them openly. Our goal is your long-term satisfaction, not maximizing any single project's profit.

Premium Materials, Always

We use only the finest paints, primers, and materials available. Coastal Connecticut's demanding environment requires premium products, and we never compromise on quality to improve our margins.

Respect for Your Property

We treat every home as if it were our own. Work areas are kept clean and organized, and we minimize disruption to your daily life. We arrive when promised, work efficiently, and communicate proactively about progress.

Trusted by Generations

We've built lasting relationships with clients across the Connecticut and Rhode Island shoreline, serving communities including Stonington, Mystic, Groton Long Point, Westerly, Watch Hill, and throughout coastal Connecticut and Rhode Island.

Many clients have trusted us with multiple homes, passed our name to their closest friends, and worked with us for decades. Some have even become family. This loyalty isn't the result of marketing—it's earned through consistent quality, honest service, and doing the work right, year after year, client after client.
