Painting & Fine Finishes
in North Kingstown.
From Wickford Village to Narragansett Bay. Interior, exterior and historic millwork since 1999.
Sheltered Water,
Older Houses.
North Kingstown sits between Rhode Island's colonial past and its present, and the houses show it. From the preserved eighteenth-century houses in Wickford Village to the waterfront homes along Narragansett Bay in Saunderstown and Hamilton, this is a town where careful work is noticed. Senn Painting has worked here since 1999.
Wickford's historic harbor district has some of the best residential architecture in New England. These houses need painters who understand period-appropriate preparation, who can handle old-growth wood trim without damaging delicate profiles, and who choose finishes that respect the house while protecting it from the weather.
Beyond the village, the newer neighborhoods along Post Road, around Quonset and through the Annaquatucket corridor have their own needs. We handle everything from full interior repaints in family homes to new construction finishing for local builders, with clean work areas, detailed preparation and finishes that last.
North Kingstown homeowners who have worked with us know what to expect: a thorough walkthrough before we start, a detailed written scope of work, consistent communication, and a final walkthrough together. If you're considering a project in North Kingstown, we'd be glad to come and look.
On a sheltered harbor, damp does the damage that salt does elsewhere.
Shade, moss and mildew
Wickford's mature trees and tight lots mean north and east walls stay damp for days after rain. That grows mildew under the paint and lifts it from the bottom up. The fix is a proper wash and a mildew-resistant primer, not another coat over the top.
Eighteenth-century clapboard
Some of the oldest continuously occupied houses in the country stand in this village. Original clapboard is thinner and softer than anything milled today, and aggressive sanding costs you material you cannot replace. We work by hand where it matters.
Lead, handled properly
Pre-1978 houses are assumed to have lead paint until tested. Contained work areas, wet methods rather than dry sanding, HEPA collection and proper disposal, which matters more on a lot where the neighbor's vegetable garden is fifteen feet away.
Working in a village
Narrow streets, shared driveways and no room for a staging area. We plan access before the first day rather than discovering the problem with a truck already parked in it.

Most of the work happens
before the first coat.
Roughly 85% of every project is preparation. The finish is the last few hours of work that took weeks to earn.
Consult and Plan
We visit your home, walk every surface, listen to what you want, and deliver a detailed proposal with scope and timeline.
Preparation and Finishing
We protect every surface, fill, sand, caulk and prime before a certified professional applies a single coat.
Walk It Together
We walk the finished job with you and write down anything you want changed. We come back until that list is clear.
Call and you'll usually reach Mason directly. Consultations are complimentary.
Painting Rhode Island Homes
Since 1999.
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.

Testimonials
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.
