Custom Colonial Painting was established in 1999 and has operated from Durham, Connecticut for more than 20 years, growing into a statewide painting contractor with thousands of completed homes across the state. The company’s professional exterior and interior painters each average at least 15 years of hands-on experience, and the crew — led by AJ — has painted everything from historic mansions along Connecticut’s Gold Coast to the state’s abundant capes, ranches, and condominiums, as well as commercial buildings.
Services span interior and exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, drywall repair, deck and roof painting, custom finishes, and home renovation and repair work. The company follows a specific process for exterior projects — beginning with color selection, moving through thorough surface preparation (cleaning, sanding, priming, filling cracks, and fixing nail pops), then painting, and concluding with a full site cleanup — a sequence the company emphasizes because proper preparation is what separates a paint job that lasts from one that fails prematurely. Custom Colonial Painting uses lead-free paints and follows safe disposal procedures for all painting materials.
The company is a licensed and insured Home Improvement Contractor in Connecticut, and specifically notes experience painting older Connecticut homes with the extra preparation care and surface protection those properties require. Custom Colonial Painting’s service territory extends across New Haven, Hartford, Middlesex, New London, and Litchfield counties, covering communities from Clinton and Southington through West Hartford, Glastonbury, Rocky Hill, and Trumbull.
Customer reviews consistently praise AJ and his crew for efficiency, attention to detail, and nightly site cleanup — one reviewer described AJ helping select a color scheme and completing a full house exterior painting project on a tight moving timeline, at fair pricing given the level of service and attention to detail provided. Another described a full three-story colonial exterior finished exactly on the promised schedule at a reasonable price, with everyone on the team pleasant to work with throughout the project.
For homeowners across Connecticut looking for a painting contractor with more than two decades of documented history, an experienced crew averaging 15-plus years each, and a consistent track record of on-time, on-budget project completion, Custom Colonial Painting offers a well-reviewed, statewide service option.
