Connecticut House Painters LLC is a painting company founded by Javier Santos that has been serving Connecticut homeowners and businesses since 2001. The company started as an informal operation before formalizing as Masters Touch Painting and Remodeling LLC in 2010, eventually expanding operations into Florida while establishing Connecticut House Painters as the dedicated brand for the Connecticut market. That history of growth reflects a company that built its business through repeat customers and referrals before taking on a formal identity.
The company operates primarily across southeastern Connecticut, including communities like Mystic, Stonington, Groton, Waterford, East Lyme, Ledyard, and Norwich, though the company’s service scope extends statewide. Services include interior painting, exterior painting, cabinet painting, cabinet refinishing, deck staining, power washing, and commercial painting, covering both residential and commercial properties under a single contractor relationship.
Connecticut House Painters is EPA Lead-Safe Certified, which is relevant for older Connecticut homes — many of which were built before 1978 and may contain lead-based paint that requires careful handling during preparation and painting. This certification reflects an investment in compliance and safety protocols that not all painting contractors maintain, and it matters particularly for families with young children. The company works with premium paint brands including Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams.
Customer reviews consistently highlight Javier’s personal responsiveness and his team’s attention to preparation and clean-up. Reviewers mention that he proactively monitored weather conditions before starting exterior jobs to avoid moisture-related problems, and that the crew cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each workday on multi-day projects. One customer described the company stepping in to correct a prior contractor’s poor work — fixing paint on windows, trim, carpets, and hardwood floors — and leaving the results significantly improved.
The company markets itself on a straightforward combination of quality materials, professional preparation, and consistent communication. For Connecticut homeowners seeking a painting contractor with a multi-decade service record, EPA certification, and premium paint brand relationships, Connecticut House Painters represents an established option with a clearly documented approach to customer service.
