The End Result Was Nothing Short of Fantastic

The team at Northeast Painting and Coating did a terrific job painting our building in Kennebunk. They did exactly what they said they were going to do for a very fair price. While we certainly weren’t the biggest job they worked on, they treated us like we were their most important client, and the end result was nothing short of fantastic. The level of service and quality that Northeast has is a real throwback to times when business was done on a handshake with people you liked, respected and trusted.
