FAQ

How do I get a painting estimate?

Call us at (508) 746-6432 or fill out the form on our contact page. We will schedule a convenient time for Marc Nelson to visit your property, assess the scope of work, and discuss your goals. You will receive a detailed written proposal with line-item pricing within 24 hours of the walk-through. Estimates are always free and carry no obligation.

What areas do you serve?

Our home base is Plymouth, MA, and we serve all of Southeastern Massachusetts from there. We travel approximately 30 miles for residential projects and further for larger commercial work. Our full service area covers the South Shore, South Coast, and Cape Cod.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Nelson Painting holds Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor License No. 142477. We carry full general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage for every crew member. We also hold EPA Lead-Safe (RRP) certification for work on homes built before 1978. We provide documentation upon request.

Do you use subcontractors?

No. Every Nelson Painting project is completed by our in-house crew. We never subcontract work to outside painters. This means the same team that walks your estimate is the team that paints your property.

What paint brands do you use?

We primarily use Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams paints because they offer superior coverage, durability, and color accuracy. For specialty applications like cabinet refinishing, we use professional-grade products specifically formulated for those surfaces.

How long has Nelson Painting been in business?

Nelson Painting was founded in 1960 by Burt Nelson, making us over 65 years old. The company is now in its third generation with owner Marc Nelson and his son Marc Nelson Jr. both actively working on projects.

What happens if I am not satisfied with the work?

Before we call any project complete, we conduct a thorough walkthrough with you to inspect every surface. If anything needs a touch-up or adjustment, we handle it immediately. Our goal is 100% customer satisfaction, and with zero BBB complaints since 1960, we stand behind that commitment.

When is the best time for exterior painting in New England?

The ideal exterior painting season in Plymouth runs from late April through mid-November, when temperatures consistently stay above 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Early summer and early fall offer moderate temperatures and lower humidity. We recommend booking early since our schedule fills quickly during peak season.
