Painting Services Built for Your Home or Business
Four core services for the homes and businesses of the Lake Sunapee region.
Interior Painting
Walls, trim, doors, ceilings, built-ins, and bookshelves, painted with a steady hand and a clean edge. Feature and accent walls are part of the work too.
Exterior Painting
Siding, trim, decks, and more — paint, stain, and varnish that stand up to New England weather, with power washing to prep the surface right.
Cabinet Painting
A sprayed factory-smooth finish for kitchen and bathroom cabinets, plus refacing and stain-and-clear-coat options. It's the upgrade that changes a whole room.
Commercial Painting
Offices, retail, multifamily, restaurants, and more — scheduled around your operating hours and finished with commercial-grade product.
A Local Painting Company You Can Actually Reach
Ever left three voicemails for a contractor and never heard back? That won't happen here. You'll talk to real people, get straight answers, and know what's happening with your project at every step. James runs a small, focused crew of two to three painters per job, which means careful work and a name you can put a face to.
No outsourced subs, no rotating faces in your home, no project manager you've never met. The same crew that starts the job finishes it.
How Your Painting Project Works, Start to Finish
A good paint job is mostly about preparation and follow-through. Here's the simple path from first call to final look:
1.
Free estimate and walkthrough
James meets you at the home, listens to what you want, and gives you a clear, written estimate.
2.
Prep and protection
Furniture gets moved or covered, floors and fixtures are protected, and surfaces are cleaned and repaired so the paint goes on right.
3.
Paint with Benjamin Moore
The crew works in careful coats, keeping lines crisp and coverage even.
4.
Final walkthrough together
You and the lead inspect the work side by side before anyone calls it done.
5.
Follow-up
A week or so later, James checks in to make sure you're happy with the result.

Meet James Hannon, Founder of AJ Painting
After serving in the military, James brought the same standards home: show up on time, do it right, and own the result. He'd spent years painting before starting the company in 2020, and he still walks every job personally at the start and the finish.
What Makes AJ Painting Different in Sunapee, NH
Plenty of painters can roll on a coat. Fewer treat your home with real care and stand behind the work afterward. The difference shows up in the details:
Premium product, not the cheapest bucket. Benjamin Moore costs more and lasts longer, which matters on a home you plan to keep
A warranty that means something. Five years of workmanship coverage, in writing.
Discipline you can see. Clean lines, protected floors and furniture, and a tidy site at the end of each day.
Communication you don't have to chase. You'll always know the plan and the timeline.
