Towns We Serve Around Sunapee and the Upper Valley
The crew works across two states from a base in the Lake Sunapee region. A few of these towns have dedicated pages; the rest are full service areas where you can call us for a free estimate.
Don't see your town listed? Reach out anyway — the crew sometimes travels a little farther for a project that's a good fit.
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.
Rooted in the Lake Sunapee Region
A painter who lives where they work shows up differently. We know how the seasons behave in this corner of New Hampshire and Vermont — when the exterior painting window opens and closes, how lake winds chew on lakeside siding, which trim profiles older Upper Valley homes tend to have, and what the foliage timing does to project schedules.
Just as important, every home we paint is one we'll see again — driving past, at the market, at a school event. Local accountability means careful work and follow-through, not because a contract says so, but because that's how a town works.
A Local Veteran-Owned Crew
AJ Painting was founded in 2020 by James Hannon, a veteran who'd spent years working in the painting trade before launching his own company. The crew is deliberately small — two or three painters on most jobs, led by an experienced lead — so the same faces handle your project from prep day through final walkthrough.
You can meet the founder and read the full story on our About page.
Why Homeowners Pick AJ Painting
Painters can be hard to compare on paper. Here's the short version of what makes the difference once the work starts:
The same crew for the whole project — not a rotating cast.
A written warranty, not a verbal promise.
An owner who's actually on your job, not just on the marquee.
A clean site every evening, not a half-finished mess to live around.
Same Warranty, Across Every Town We Serve
Sunapee, Lyme, Norwich, or anywhere else on our list — the warranty is identical: a 5-year workmanship warranty, documented in your project paperwork. A premium finish should be backed in writing, no matter which side of the Connecticut River it lives on.
