Award-Winning Painting Company Since 1960

The Pinehills is one of New England's most sought-after village communities, spanning over 3,000 acres in Plymouth, Massachusetts. When the community needed their Summerhouse sales office completely refreshed, they turned to Nelson Painting — and the results earned the crew a coveted APC Top Job Award from Paint Magazine.

The project demanded precision at every level. The Nelson crew sanded and stained 35-foot-high red-toned beams multiple times to achieve a natural driftwood appearance — working from scaffolding to reach the soaring ceilings. They primed and painted every ceiling, wall, and woodwork surface throughout the building, then prepped and sprayed kitchen cabinetry on-site for a factory-smooth finish. The worn polyurethane and stain on the floors were completely sanded down and refinished with primer and two topcoats. To tie the design together, they added apple-green accent stripes in the map room and on six entry doors.

The entire project was completed using Farrow and Ball primers and paints — premium products that demand skilled application to achieve their signature depth and richness. Owner Marc Nelson, partner Burt Nelson, and a full crew including Marc Nelson Jr. (the third generation) delivered a transformation that the industry recognized as one of the best jobs in the country.

But an industry award only tells part of the story. Nelson Painting's real achievement is something no plaque can capture: 65 years of continuous operation with zero BBB complaints. Since Burt Nelson Sr. founded the company in 1960, three generations of the Nelson family have built their reputation one job at a time — through meticulous preparation, premium materials, and the kind of personal accountability that only comes from a family putting their name on every project.
