Nelson Painting is a painting contractor that provides interior painting for walls, ceilings, trim, and cabinets across Plymouth County, Barnstable County, and Bristol County

Interior Painting

Interior Painting

Fresh paint transforms how your home feels the moment you walk in. We protect your furniture and floors, prep every surface by hand, and use premium Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams paints chosen for your rooms. Most interior projects are done in days, not weeks — with daily cleanup so your family barely notices we are there.

Nelson Painting is a painting contractor that provides exterior painting for siding, trim, and clapboards across Plymouth County, Barnstable County, and Bristol County

Exterior Painting

Exterior Painting

Your home is your biggest investment and curb appeal starts with the paint. We scrape, sand, prime, and caulk every surface before a single coat goes on — because preparation is what separates a two-year paint job from a ten-year one. Our crew handles clapboard, cedar shingles, trim, and everything in between.

Nelson Painting is a painting contractor that provides kitchen cabinet refinishing and bathroom vanity refinishing across Plymouth County, Barnstable County, and Bristol County

Cabinet Refinishing

Cabinet Refinishing

Dated oak cabinets or a color you have outgrown? Cabinet refinishing gives your kitchen a complete transformation in days, not months, and saves thousands compared to ripping out and replacing. We remove doors, sand and prime every surface, and spray-finish with a factory-smooth result.

Nelson Painting is a painting contractor that provides deck and fence staining across Plymouth County, Barnstable County, and Bristol County

Deck & Fence Staining

Deck & Fence Staining

Your deck is where summer happens and your fence frames the entire property. We clean, sand, and apply penetrating stain that soaks into the wood grain — not just a surface coat that peels in a year. Our products are chosen specifically for the coastal New England climate your home sits in.

Nelson Painting is a painting contractor that provides power washing for driveways, patios, and walkways across Plymouth County, Barnstable County, and Bristol County

Power Washing

Power Washing

Stained driveways, green patios, and dingy siding drag down your curb appeal. Our power washing blasts away years of built-up grime, oil, mildew, and algae — restoring concrete, pavers, and hard surfaces to like-new condition. Often paired with exterior painting prep for the best results.

Nelson Painting is a painting contractor that provides soft washing for siding, roofs, and cedar shingles across Plymouth County, Barnstable County, and Bristol County

Soft Washing

Soft Washing

Green streaks creeping up your siding? Black stains on your roof? Regular power washing blasts the surface but leaves roots alive — regrowth starts within weeks. Our soft washing uses low-pressure application with biodegradable cleaning solutions that kill algae, mold, and mildew at the cellular level. Safe for vinyl, cedar, and shingles.

Nelson Painting is a painting contractor that provides carpentry services for rot repair, trim replacement, and siding restoration across Plymouth County, Barnstable County, and Bristol County

Carpentry Services

Carpentry Services

Paint over rotted wood and it peels in a year. Our crew replaces damaged trim, clapboards, shingles, fascia, and soffits with solid wood before any paint goes on. One team handles the carpentry and the painting in a single project — no coordinating between contractors.

Nelson Painting is a painting contractor that provides water and smoke damage restoration painting across Plymouth County, Barnstable County, and Bristol County

Water & Smoke Damage Restoration

Water & Smoke Damage Restoration

Dealing with water or fire damage is stressful enough without worrying about finding a painter you can trust. We handle drywall repair, stain-blocking primer, odor sealing, and full interior repainting so your home looks and feels like it did before the damage. Insurance documentation provided on request.

Our Homeowner Process

How Residential Painting Works from Start to Finish

We keep you informed at every stage so there are no surprises. Here is exactly what to expect when you hire us to paint your home.

1

Owner Marc Nelson personally walks your property with you to understand your goals. He inspects surfaces, notes repairs, discusses color preferences, and provides a detailed written estimate. Most estimates are delivered within 24 hours of the walk-through.

2

Once you approve the estimate, we confirm your project timeline and material selections. We order premium paints and supplies, coordinate any carpentry repairs needed first, and schedule the work around your household routine. You will know the exact start date and expected duration before we begin.

3

This is where lasting results are earned. For interior work, we patch holes, sand surfaces, caulk gaps, and prime bare areas. For exterior work, we scrape loose paint, sand rough spots, power wash, replace rotted wood, and putty nail holes. Preparation typically takes 30-40% of total project time because it determines how long the finish lasts.

4

Our in-house crews apply premium paint products using the right technique for each surface. Brush, roller, or spray application is chosen based on the material and finish. We apply proper coats with appropriate dry times between each layer. Drop cloths protect your floors, furniture, and landscaping throughout the process.

5

At the end of each work day, our crew tidies the job site so your home stays livable. We remove debris, organize materials, and make sure hallways and entryways are clear. You should barely notice we were there, except for the fresh paint on the walls.

6

Before we call the project complete, we walk every room and every surface with you. If anything needs a touch-up or adjustment, we handle it on the spot. We do not consider a job finished until you are completely satisfied with the results. We also provide care tips so your new paint job lasts as long as possible.
