Stone walls, salt ponds, and our own town since 1999. Interior, exterior and cabinetry.
South Kingstown is one of the most architecturally diverse communities in Rhode Island, from the historic mill village homes of Peace Dale and the streetscapes of Wakefield to the waterfront properties along Matunuck Beach and Green Hill. Senn Painting has been serving homeowners across every corner of this town since 1999, bringing the same level of precision and care whether the project is a cozy bungalow or a large estate.
Our familiarity with South Kingstown's housing stock gives us a real advantage. We understand the difference between prepping a 1920s Wakefield colonial with layers of lead paint and finishing a brand-new custom build on Salt Pond Road. We know which exterior coatings hold up against the moisture that rolls in from Moonstone Beach, and how to get the smooth interior finishes homeowners expect in their living rooms, kitchens and bedrooms.
Many of our South Kingstown clients come to us through referrals from local builders, designers and real estate professionals. We've completed projects around the URI campus, along Ministerial Road, and in the quiet neighborhoods at the edges of Trustom Pond, always with clean jobsites, clear communication, and finishes that look as good five years later as the day we packed up.
If you're planning an interior refresh, a full exterior repaint or a new construction finish in South Kingstown, we'd welcome the chance to walk your project. Our shop is on Liberty Lane in West Kingston, so we're never far away.
Full salt exposure and, in places, houses that sit unheated through the winter. Marine-grade primers, coatings chosen for the side that faces the water, and a caulking schedule that assumes every joint will move. Done cheaply, these are the shortest-lived paint jobs in the state.
Mill-era houses on tight lots, a mile or two back from the water and mostly sheltered from the salt. Here the problem is age rather than exposure: old clapboard, old glazing putty, and a good chance of lead under the last few coats.
Inland, shaded, and damp on north-facing walls, so moss and mildew rather than salt. Different washing, different primer, and a color conversation that accounts for how little direct light some of these houses get.
Any painter can quote all three the same way. We don't, because we've watched our own work in this town for twenty-seven years and know which shortcuts show up in year three.
Every project includes a dedicated lead painter, a detailed written scope of work, and our written satisfaction guarantee.

We visit your home, walk every surface, listen to what you want, and deliver a detailed proposal with scope and timeline.
We protect every surface, fill, sand, caulk and prime before a certified professional applies a single coat.

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.

Great team, enjoyable to work with, excellent work, would hire them again without hesitating.
Very prompt and courteous! Excellent communication. Everything you could hope for in a painting company.
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.
Mason Senn and his team are extremely professional, clean and go the extra mile on every detail. If your goal is to produce high quality finishes, look no further!
All of it. The town runs from open Atlantic beachfront to inland farmland in about six miles, and what we specify changes across that distance.
