Where Ocean Road meets uncompromising craft. Interior, exterior and cabinetry since 1999.
When your Narragansett home demands more than just a coat of paint, you call Senn Painting. For over two decades, we've been the trusted painting partner for homeowners along Ocean Road, through Bonnet Shores, and across Point Judith — delivering meticulous craftsmanship that stands up to the relentless salt air and coastal weather that defines this stretch of the Rhode Island shoreline.
From the cedar-shingled cottages near Scarborough Beach to the sprawling waterfront estates overlooking Narragansett Bay, our crew understands the unique challenges that come with painting in a coastal environment. We select marine-grade primers and premium exterior coatings specifically engineered to resist moisture intrusion, UV degradation, and salt corrosion — the three forces that destroy ordinary paint jobs within a few seasons. Inside, we deliver designer-grade finishes with crisp lines, luxurious depth, and flawless surfaces that transform living spaces into something truly remarkable.
Our reputation in Narragansett has been built one project at a time — through word-of-mouth referrals from discerning homeowners who appreciate the difference between a paint job and a Senn Painting project. We coordinate directly with architects, interior designers, and general contractors on custom builds and historic restorations throughout the area, ensuring every finish meets the highest standards of the coastal luxury market.
Whether you're refreshing a summer home before the season, protecting a year-round residence from another New England winter, or finishing a new construction project that needs to impress from day one, Senn Painting brings the experience, materials, and attention to detail that Narragansett's finest properties deserve.
Six miles inland, an exterior coating deals with sun and rain. On the Narragansett shoreline it deals with salt carried in on the wind, ultraviolet reflected off open water, and a freeze-thaw cycle that works at every joint through the winter. South and west elevations facing the water take the worst of all three at once.
So we specify by elevation rather than by house. Marine-grade primer where the salt lands, a longer cure window when humidity is high off the water, and a caulking schedule that assumes the joint will move. It is why a repaint here should last, and why the cheap version does not.
Interiors have their own problem: summer humidity in an unconditioned coastal house lengthens dry times and shows every shortcut in the preparation. Roughly 85% of what we do on any project happens before the finish coat, and on this coast that ratio is the whole difference.
Every project includes a dedicated lead painter, a detailed written scope of work, and our written satisfaction guarantee.

Senn Painting was founded in West Kingston, Rhode Island in 1999 by Mason Senn, on the belief that a paint job deserves the same precision and respect as any piece of fine work. Over 27 years, Mason has completed more than 200 projects across the coastal communities of southern Rhode Island.
What started as a one-man operation built on word-of-mouth referrals has grown into a team of trained finishers who hold to the same standard. Mason is still on site.

Mason and team at Senn painting are hands down the best of the best. Their professionalism, kindness, knowledge, and perfectionism Definitely shows. They did our kitchen and dining room, which had some stuff going on that they were able to simplify and fix. They also completely did a two bedroom house that we redid from the studs up. I highly recommend them to anyone that needs anything done. Like I said before they are the best of the best. Thank you for all you do and we hope to use you again in the future when we need our next project completed.
Brilliant work all around. The crews were on time, organized and extremely neat. Their attention to detail was exceptional. Most important there was a sense of pride in their work which made our home shine. Many thanks to the Senn Painting Company.
Senn Painting is one of the most professional companies I have ever come across. Their attention to detail is far superior to any other paint company. Their owner is onsite and diligent. I highly recommend Senn painting for anyone looking for a great periodicity with affordable pricing.

Very prompt and courteous! Excellent communication. Everything you could hope for in a painting company.
All of it, plus the villages either side. Exposure changes considerably between the oceanfront and the neighborhoods behind the pond, which changes what we specify.
