Onset, MA Painting Contractors

About

With over 250 five-star Google reviews and a 4.8-star rating, Stewart Painting Inc. has established itself as Cape Cod's go-to painting contractor through four decades of consistent excellence. Founded in 1980 by Sheldon Stewart, this Hyannis-based company employs over 30 full-time professionals across specialized divisions for painting, carpentry, and power washing. Unlike competitors who rely on subcontractors, Stewart maintains quality control through dedicated in-house teams. Recent reviews highlight crews like Tim and Rabi who leave properties "looking brand new" after power washing, Rocky who returns the next day to ensure customer satisfaction, and carpenter Matt who "really cared about what we, as customers, wanted" when crafting custom Dutch doors.

The company's services span from deck refreshes to multi-week commercial transformations. Their EPA RRP certification enables safe lead paint remediation in pre-1978 homes, while OSHA certification ensures workplace safety standards. Stewart's reach extends across 15 Cape Cod towns, Nantucket, and the South Shore from their dual locations in Hyannis and Hingham. Beyond technical expertise, the company demonstrates community commitment through their annual Paint It Forward program, providing free services to deserving veterans. With an A+ BBB accreditation since 2012, a standard two-year warranty on all work, and response rates showing active owner engagement with customer feedback, Stewart Painting combines old-school craftsmanship with modern customer service to maintain their position as the region's trusted painting authority.

About

When Jeff Trelegan reached 67 years old and had worked with many painting contractors over the decades, he found something different in Derrick Schmidt's approach. "His crew never stops all day" captured what made the experience stand out, but it was the meticulous installation of 13 composite trim pieces and the crew's willingness to ask before adding any work that prompted him to call Schmidt Painting "by far the best I have ever dealt with." Behind this single project sits a pattern repeated across Cape Cod for nearly two decades.

That attention reveals itself in unexpected ways. When David Winther's house needed repainting in 2023, the original 2014 Schmidt work had held up so well it only required touch-ups after nine years, despite the siding having experienced total paint failure before that first job. The Benjamin Moore Master Stain Certification that Derrick holds translates into diagnostic precision others miss. Customers mention morning routines where crews arrive exactly on schedule, Derrick personally conducting final walkthroughs to catch imperfections before clients notice them, and Sarah serving as both project supervisor and lead painter. The over 400 reviews and 4.9-star rating across platforms come from this operational consistency rather than marketing promises.

Schmidt Painting operates primarily through referrals from completed projects. Customers like Amy Waddill watch the crew work on neighbors' homes before hiring them, then report their 1965 house "has never looked this good." The fully licensed and insured husband-and-wife team, working from their Hyannis location since 2006, built their reputation one project at a time across Cape Cod and the South Shore. When Karen Flowers followed their suggestion to remove upper cabinets to open her kitchen space, the transformation exceeded expectations because the recommendation came from experience rather than upselling. This pattern of solving problems rather than just completing transactions explains why multiple reviews mention 7, 9, 11, and 14-year client relationships.
