“Ray and his crew were fabulous! Ray is super personable, answered my call and arrived at my home for an estimate the same day. Their work is exceptional and they cleaned up after without a trace. We will be calling them again!”

“I needed some interior painting done on a tight schedule with short notice - I assumed it wouldn't be possible, But Ray was so gracious and accommodating, insisting that he find a way to fit my job in, which he was able to do. I have used him before on jobs large and small, and he is always helpful and scrupulously professional. I will always call him first when I need painting done.”

Written down before a brush comes out

On an exterior, Ray walks the house with photos and notes, then writes the estimate. Big jobs are broken into segments, and you hear about anything unexpected before it is painted over.

Their own three words, and two of their own jobs. A white Cape with Tudor trim went sage green with a pink door; a patched-plaster bedroom went warm yellow. Drag the line to see each one change, or read how the plaster gets repaired first.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes. Cloudland Paintworks gives free, no-obligation written estimates for residential painting projects in North Haven and the surrounding New Haven County towns. On exteriors, Ray walks the house with photos and notes, and big jobs are broken into segments on the estimate. The full list is on the FAQs page.

Please put away small or valuable items beforehand. The crew will help protect and move larger furniture as needed, and floors, furniture and landscaping are covered before any work starts.

Generally every 5 to 7 years in our climate. The real answer depends on exposure, the paint used last time and how the surfaces were prepped, which is what the walk-around is for.

It can be. Every Cloudland painter, summer interns included, is lead-safe certified, and older homes are prepped and painted lead-safe. You get written information about lead before the work begins.

Cabinet doors are taken to the Cloudland shop and sprayed in a custom spray booth, then brought back and rehung. You can choose any colour, from blush pink to black to bright navy.
