  • How long will a bathroom remodeling job take?

    The duration of a bathroom remodeling project can vary greatly depending on the scope of the work. A simple update such as replacing fixtures, might take just a few days. However, a complete overhaul involving plumbing and electrical changes, tiling, installing new fixtures, and painting could take anywhere from three weeks to a couple of months.



  • What is the estimated cost of a bathroom remodel?

    The cost of a bathroom remodel can vary widely based on various factors. These can include the size of your bathroom, the quality of materials you choose, and the extent of the changes you're planning. For instance, costs can differ if you update existing features or change the layout completely.



    Given these variables, providing a generalized estimate for a bathroom remodel is challenging. We recommend scheduling a free consultation with our team to get a precise cost tailored to your specific project. During this meeting, we'll discuss your vision, assess your space, and provide a detailed cost breakdown. This approach ensures you're fully informed and can make the best decisions for your remodeling project.

  • What is the estimated cost of a kitchen remodel?

    The cost of a kitchen remodel can vary greatly based on numerous factors such as the size of your kitchen, the quality of materials, and the extent of the changes you wish to make. Factors like whether you're planning to change the layout or merely update the existing features can also significantly impact the overall cost.



    To get an accurate estimate tailored specifically to your needs and preferences, the best approach is to schedule a free consultation with our team. During this session, we'll discuss your vision for your new kitchen, assess your space, and provide you with a detailed cost breakdown. This will ensure that you're fully informed and can make the best decisions for your remodel.

  • Who will be working on the project? Who will be supervising the project?

    Your remodeling project will typically be executed by a team of professionals, each with their own specialties such as carpentry, plumbing, electrical work, and painting, based on the specific requirements of your project.



    Larry Gamst, who oversees every project, will be your primary contact throughout the process. As the project manager, Larry is responsible for coordinating the workflow, managing the team, ensuring the quality of work, and keeping the project on schedule and within budget.



    It's always a good idea to familiarize yourself with the team working on your project. This way, you'll know whom to reach out to if you have any questions or concerns. However, rest assured that Larry Gamst will be supervising every step of the remodeling process to ensure your complete satisfaction.

  • Can you help me choose the right color for my exterior?

    Yes, we can certainly assist you in choosing the right color for your exterior. We understand that color choice is a vital part of any painting project and can significantly affect the aesthetic appeal of your home. 


    We can provide advice based on your home's architecture, the surrounding landscape, neighborhood trends, and your personal preferences. 


    We may also offer digital tools or physical samples to help visualize how different colors will look on your home.


    Remember, the goal is to choose a color that not only you love but also enhances the curb appeal of your home.

  • Do you handle both interior and exterior house painting?

    Yes, we do handle both interior painting and exterior house painting. Our team is experienced in dealing with all types of surfaces and conditions, both inside and outside your home. We use the right kind of paint and techniques for each surface to provide a long-lasting, quality finish. Our goal is not just to change the color of your walls, but to enhance your living space and make your home look its best.



  • What type of paints do you use? Are they safe and eco-friendly?

    Yes, we use high-quality paints that are not only durable and provide excellent coverage but are also safe and eco-friendly. We understand the importance of sustainability and the impact of our choices on the environment. That's why we choose paints with low or zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These paints are less environmentally harmful and safer for you and your family. We believe in delivering beautiful results without compromising on health and environmental safety.



  • How do you protect furniture, carpets, and other property during painting?

    At New England Painting & Contracting, we take the protection of your furniture, carpets, and other property very seriously during a painting project.


    Before we begin painting, we will carefully move furniture away from the walls and cover it with clean, new plastic sheeting. We also use drop cloths to protect your flooring and carpets. For items that can't be moved, like fixtures or built-in furniture, they use professional-grade painter's tape to protect edges and surfaces from paint drips or overspray.


    Moreover, we ensure to properly seal off the work area from the rest of your property to minimize dust and paint fumes. After the project is complete, we will clean up the area, remove all protective materials, and move your furniture back to its original position. Our goal is to leave your space as clean, if not cleaner, than when they arrived.


    Rest assured, we take every necessary precaution to protect your property and belongings during the painting process.

  • Do you offer kitchen cabinet painting?

    Absolutely, we do offer kitchen cabinet painting services. We're committed to transforming your kitchen cabinets to meet your aesthetic preferences. Kitchen cabinet refinishing is an affordable alternative to a full kitchen remodel.
