Trusted Paint Partners
We're Locally Owned
My name is Tony Arsenault. I’m a husband and proud father of four amazing adult children. Professionally, I spent more than 30 years as a Corporate Sales Executive before transitioning into the next chapter of my journey as an entrepreneur and business investor. After decades in the corporate world, I realized it was time to channel my experience, leadership, and unwavering drive into building something with deeper purpose—a local company rooted in service, community, and people-first values. My vision is to create a culture where everyone matters: our employees, our painters, our referral partners, and of course, our clients. While we bring the expertise and professionalism of a big business, we operate with the heart, care, and personal touch of a small business. At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to create meaningful impact, deliver exceptional results, and change people’s lives for the better.
Your painting project means as much to us as it does to you. We're licensed and insured, and our promise is simple: we'll be your best house guests, treating your place with the utmost care and leaving it even more pristine than when we arrived.

Your Trusted, Local Painters for Residential and Commercial in Southern Maine
Interior Painting Built for Southern Maine Homes
Interior painting is the fastest way to change how a home in Southern Maine feels without touching the floor plan, and it is the busiest scope our crews run across the York, Cumberland, and Sagadahoc County corridor. Our interior painting scope covers walls, ceilings, trim, doors, and closets, and every interior painting job in Southern Maine starts with a real prep pass so the interior painting film has a clean, sound surface to bond to. Homeowners searching for painters in Southern Maine for an interior painting refresh usually want two upgrades at once: an updated color palette and a durable, scrubbable interior painting finish that survives long Maine winters spent indoors with the woodstove or forced-hot-water baseboard running.
As a painting company in Southern Maine that runs interior painting on 1850s-1910s Portland brick townhomes across the West End and Munjoy Hill, mid-coast Capes and Colonials through Brunswick and Bath, Lewiston-Auburn mill-town duplexes, and shingled coastal cottages through Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, and York, we treat interior painting material selection as a real decision, not a checkbox. Which interior painting sheen hides plaster imperfection under low, slate-gray Casco Bay winter light in a Cape Elizabeth great room, which interior painting product holds up in a Freeport mudroom that catches wet boots and snowmelt seven months a year, and which interior painting primer we need to lock down previously oil-based trim in a Portland West End brownstone are all questions we answer before the crew shows up. That level of interior painting discipline is why homeowners hire house painters in Southern Maine like us instead of a general handyman.
If you're comparing interior painting bids from painters in Southern Maine, ask each of them about interior painting warranty terms, interior painting prep sequence, and how the interior painting crew protects floors and furniture day to day. Every serious interior painting outfit in Southern Maine should have plain answers to all three.

Exterior painting in Southern Maine has to hold up to punishing freeze-thaw cycles that pop caulk lines and lift film on the north elevations of Portland, South Portland, and Westbrook homes, ice-dam runoff that soaks fascia and soffit paint across every Cumberland County winter, direct salt spray on Kennebunkport, Cape Elizabeth, and York oceanfront homes, driving nor'easter rain across the whole Casco Bay region, and short summer paint windows where the crew has to move, so exterior painting product choice is the whole conversation, not a footnote. A painting company in Southern Maine that takes exterior painting seriously specifies a 100% acrylic exterior painting product with flexibility rated for New England freeze-thaw movement, strong adhesion to cedar shingle and clapboard, and a mildew inhibitor built into the exterior painting film, so shaded north elevations under mature Falmouth and Yarmouth white pines and full-sun elevations on Scarborough builds stay clean between exterior painting cycles.
Our exterior painting scope typically includes a full pressure wash, a mildew-and-chalking assessment, spot scraping of any failing exterior painting layers, cedar-shingle and clapboard sound-substrate checks, feathered sanding, spot primer on bare wood, full caulk of siding seams and window returns, and two coats of exterior painting-grade paint. That exterior painting sequence is the same whether we are painting a Portland West End brick-and-clapboard, a Cape Elizabeth shingled coastal, a Brunswick Federal-style Colonial, or a Standish inland farmhouse. Painters in Southern Maine who skip any of those exterior painting steps are quoting a two-summer paint job in a ten-year paint job wrapper.
If you're evaluating house painters in Southern Maine for exterior painting, look closely at how the exterior painting bid describes prep, not just the exterior painting product line. A clean exterior painting film applied over poor prep will peel inside a single Maine winter; faster if the home sits in direct salt spray in Kennebunkport, Kittery, or York. Our exterior painting service documents the exterior painting prep sequence in detail, and every exterior painting job we run carries a 3-year transferable warranty.
Cabinet Painting in Southern Maine Kitchens
Cabinet painting is the single biggest visual change a homeowner in Southern Maine can buy without a full kitchen remodel, and cabinet painting demand across the Portland West End, Cape Elizabeth, Falmouth, Yarmouth, and Freeport corridor reflects that. Our cabinet painting scope typically covers cabinet boxes on-site plus cabinet doors and drawer fronts sprayed off-site in a controlled environment, so the cabinet painting finish flows out flat and cures without airborne dust or humid Casco Bay summer moisture. Cabinet painting projects like this are why homeowners call a painting company in Southern Maine instead of a general remodeler.
Cabinet painting product selection matters as much as cabinet painting prep. A real cabinet painting job uses a bonding primer, a cabinet-grade urethane-modified acrylic paint, and controlled drying conditions so the cabinet painting film cures hard enough to resist door-edge chipping under daily use in a busy Scarborough or Falmouth kitchen. As a painting company in Southern Maine that runs cabinet painting jobs almost every week, we schedule cabinet painting projects so the kitchen is out of service only for the days doors and drawers are physically off.
House painters in Southern Maine quoting cabinet painting should walk you through cabinet painting cure times, cabinet painting warranty coverage, and cabinet painting color options with real drawdowns on your actual cabinet material. Cabinet painting is not a wall paint job with cabinets in the way, and any painting company in Southern Maine that treats it that way is one to avoid for cabinet painting scopes. See our cabinet painting page for cabinet painting scope details and lead times.
Choosing Painters in Southern Maine
There are a lot of painters in Southern Maine to choose from, so the practical question is how to sort serious painters in Southern Maine from casual ones. Any painting outfit you bid should carry general liability insurance, provide a written scope, and back the work with a real written warranty. They should also point at recent portfolio work in your specific corner of the Southern Maine market; Portland's West End, Munjoy Hill, or East End, Cape Elizabeth's oceanfront, Falmouth and Yarmouth's Casco Bay ring, Brunswick and Bath's Mid-Coast Colonials, or the Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Wells, York, and Kittery coastal ring; not stock photos pulled from a supplier catalog.
As house painters in Southern Maine ourselves, we tell homeowners to ask three questions of anyone bidding: what is the exact prep sequence, what specific paint product is going on the walls, and who from the company is on site day to day. Painters in Southern Maine who dodge those questions are hoping you will not notice the answer later. A painting company in Southern Maine that answers plainly is one worth a second meeting.
That 1 Painter Southern Maine, run by Tony Arsenault out of Yarmouth, is one of many painters in Southern Maine, and we compete on scope clarity, prep quality, and a 3-year transferable warranty that follows the paint, not the owner. If you are collecting bids from painters in Southern Maine and the surrounding York, Cumberland, Sagadahoc, Androscoggin, and Lincoln County region, we would be glad to be one of the bids you compare against.
What a Painting Company in Southern Maine Actually Does
A real painting company in Southern Maine is more than a paint crew: it runs estimates, project management, materials logistics, color consultations, and warranty follow-up so the crew painting your house can focus on painting. That coordination is the difference between a painting company in Southern Maine and a solo painter working out of a truck bed. It is also the difference between a paint job that lands on the promised week and a paint job that drifts a month past schedule when a June coastal fog bank or an October nor'easter sits over Casco Bay.
As a painting company in Southern Maine, our day starts with materials staging for that day's painting scope, drives out to active painting jobs from Portland and South Portland across to Brunswick, Bath, Freeport, Yarmouth, Falmouth, Cape Elizabeth, Scarborough, Saco, Biddeford, Old Orchard Beach, Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Wells, York, Kittery, Sanford, Lewiston, Auburn, Westbrook, Gorham, Windham, and Standish, and ends with paint punch-list walks with homeowners. A painting company in Southern Maine running this way keeps painting projects on schedule and keeps paint quality consistent from the first painting day to the last painting day of a job. Homeowners feel that consistency in a lot of small ways; cleaner cut lines, tighter caulk joints, fewer callback punch items.
When you hire a painting company in Southern Maine, you are hiring the coordination layer as much as the painting itself. A painting company in Southern Maine that quotes a painting scope should tell you what week your painting starts, what week it ends, and who owns the project through completion. If a painting company in Southern Maine cannot articulate what is included in the price on the bid, that is a signal to keep shopping.
How House Painters Handle Older Southern Maine Homes
Older homes across the Southern Maine market; 1850s-1900s Portland brick townhomes through the West End, East End, and Munjoy Hill, 1700s-1800s Federal and Colonial stock through Brunswick, Bath, Freeport, and Kennebunk, and 1890s-1930s mill-town duplexes and triple-deckers through Lewiston, Auburn, Biddeford, and Sanford; need house painters in Southern Maine who understand plaster, cedar shingle, painted-wood clapboard, and the way early paint layers move under fresh coats through a New England freeze-thaw winter. House painters in Southern Maine who came up on new-construction repaints alone often underestimate how much prep an older Southern Maine home actually needs before the first drop of paint goes on the wall.
House painters in Southern Maine running an older home job spend the first day on paint testing, cedar-shingle scrape-and-sand prep, glazing repair on original six-over-six divided-light windows, and containment for scrape-and-paint work outside. Skipping those steps produces a paint job that fails inside a single Maine winter. As house painters in Southern Maine with real time on those blocks, we treat prep as the paint job; the coats you see are the last five percent of the actual work.
If you own an older home and are talking to house painters in Southern Maine, ask each bidder to walk your house and describe what they would do differently versus a 2015 Scarborough subdivision home or a 2020s Falmouth Foreside coastal rebuild. The house painters in Southern Maine with a real answer are the ones to shortlist. Beyond older homes, our crews also cover new-build repaints, HOA-driven exterior refreshes across Falmouth and Yarmouth, farmhouse repaints across Standish, Windham, and Gorham acreage, and shingle-restaining scopes across the Kennebunkport and York coastal ring, so the crew on your project has seen your situation before.
Color, Finish, and Booking Your Painting Project
Color is where a lot of painting projects across the Southern Maine market stall, so the painters you hire should have a real color process. Ours starts with existing light in the room, existing floor and trim tones, and the direction the room faces, then we put real paint drawdowns on your actual walls before the crew mobilizes. A painting company in Southern Maine that hands you a fan deck and walks away will paint whatever you point at, which is not the same as helping you land the right color for the space; an especially real risk in Southern Maine where slate-gray Casco Bay winter light and long overcast stretches change how a color reads through half the year.
Finish selection is the other half of the conversation. Flat or matte on ceilings, eggshell or matte on walls, satin or semi-gloss on trim, and a cabinet-grade product on cabinets; that mix reads intentional in a finished home across York, Cumberland, and Sagadahoc County. Painters in Southern Maine who put one paint sheen everywhere are cutting corners on materials logistics, not doing you a favor. House painters in Southern Maine that pair color and finish thoughtfully deliver a paint job that reads like a designer walked the space with them.
Booking a painting company in Southern Maine should be simple: a walk-through, a written scope, a written price, a start date, and a warranty. Exterior painting demand peaks in the tight May-through-October window across Casco Bay before winter shuts the exterior season down, so any painting company in Southern Maine worth hiring is often booked several weeks out during peak exterior painting season. Interior painting flexes year-round, and cabinet painting we can usually schedule with less lead time. Request an estimate above and we will be out with a written scope you can compare against every other bid on your desk.
