Painting Contractor in Portland, Maine
Residential, Commercial & Specialty Painting Services
Jim Steeves Painting Contractor, Inc. has built a strong reputation throughout greater Portland with more than two decades of hands-on experience, handling everything from Old Port's historic buildings to new construction and large commercial properties across the metro area.
Residential & Commercial Painting in Portland
Jim's crew handles homes of every age in Portland — new construction, mid-renovation properties, and historic homes that require a more careful touch. Older Portland properties often bring intricate trim work and weathered wood that won't respond well to shortcuts; Jim's team assesses each situation individually rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
Specialty interior work — cabinetry, detailed millwork, and custom ceiling applications — is a regular part of the job in a city with as much architectural variety as Portland.
On the commercial side, Jim's team works with condominiums, HOAs, medical and educational facilities, restaurants, banks, warehouses, retail strip malls, churches, and government buildings throughout the Portland area, with overnight scheduling available to minimize downtime for businesses that need to stay open.
