I do not write reviews as a matter of course. Only if a product or service is well below average or well above do I take pen (or keyboard) in hand. This time I am writing about Bedford Home Improvement and the paint job + carpentry repairs they did on our home. Extraordinary is the one word that comes to mind. Attention to detail, cleanliness, and follow up calls deserve extra mention. Bruce (the owner) was on site virtually every day the workers were here, spent time talking with me about issues I needed to fix on the house, and how they could do it. Extra mention needs to go to “Mark” who is the company’s Master Carpenter. His ability to size up an issue and “fix” it is extraordinary. (Note: Mark is a company employee, not a sub-contractor, so he has your best interests at heart. Naturally one pays extra for any carpentry that is needed above and beyond the painting contract price.) Bruce does not disappear after you write the final check, either. He has come back twice in response to my questions. When you text Bruce you get a phone call back very quickly. I have NEVER recommended a painter in all my 76 years……but I am happy and pleased to say you cannot get a finer paint job than Bedford Home Improvement did on the exterior of our home. They are worth every penny and I consider their work an investment in the future of our home.
I used Bedford Home Improvement for the first time this year based on references from others in my neighborhood, who had nothing but good things to say about their work. They were not wrong. Bruce and the team are very knowledgeable, respectful and the prices are very reasonable for the high quality of work that is performed (painting and carpentry in my cases). Not to be overlooked, since this can be an issue with some contractors, they are EXCELLENT communicators. Never did I have to wait a long time for a return call or answer to an inquiry and any issues were brought to my prompt attention so we could work together on options and address. I will be using them again for other projects in the future.
I recently had exterior painting done on my home and barn. Bruce and his crew were a pleasure and performed their work expediently, with a keen eye for detail and with the utmost quality and professionalism. I was very impressed with Bruce being insistent that I take a couple of days to inspect the premises upon completion to ensure my satisfaction, and even more impressed with his immediate return to follow up. It is my opinion if you’re looking for quality work, with great expectations, that you need not look any further. Bedford Home Improvement comes highly recommended.
My search for a single contractor who could complete a large carpentry and painting project on my home led me to Bruce Randall dba Bedford Home Improvement. Bruce and his crew did an outstanding job despite some serious weather restrictions. They completed the work in a well coordinated and timely manner using quality materials and with expert workmanship. I especially appreciated the friendly professional advice offered as the job progressed and their interest in controlling costs. Needless to say, I'm completely satisfied with the outcome.
Quality of work, both carpentry & painting, is top shelf. Bruce & his team of craftsmen have performed to our highest expectations and did so in a professional, courteous manner. The team was very considerate of our property, going the extra measure to maintain a clean working area and picking up when the work was done. They are our go-to contractor for any work that needs to be done and we would recommend them to anyone. Of particular note is Bruce's follow-up well after the work is completed to ensure we were completely satisfied. This is typical of his care for his clients.
Bedford Home Improvement did meticulous carpentry, crown moldings, and other significant details, plus superb painting and repair of damaged walls to my house in Derry, NH. It was so desirable that it sold in two days.
Great job of painting my house prep work was extensive and the property was kept clean and neat on a daily basis, would highly recommend

Bedford Home Improvement did a wonderful job with the entire house painting, as well as the carpentry work, and the new roof shingles. They have done work for many of our neighbors, too, and all to great reviews!
High quality work and great service. Glad that we were referred to the Bedford Home Improvement team!
We have been using Bedford Home Improvement for many years. They have painted our house, renovated our kitchen, and have done ventilation on our roof. They have done repair work in my Sun Room, Bruce is always so helpful, professional, and reliable. We have recommended them to many neighbors and friends.
We've used Bedford Home Improvement for a number of years, as have many of our neighbors, for a variety of jobs ranging from interior and exterior house painting, carpentry work and installation of a new deck and screen porch. BHI's team is a pleasure to work with - professional, reliable, responsive, and great results. They clearly take pride in their work.
Extremely happy with Bruce and Mark repairing our 30 year old wooden slider that other contractors told us the only option was to replace it! Mark’s carpentry skills proved them wrong!
Very reliable, professional and cost competitive. We used them for various construction and painting projects, including entire house painting and have recommended them on many occasions!
Bruce and his team was an amazing find! We were looking for a responsible, detail oriented and professional contractor and we definitely found it with Bedford Home Improvement. They did wood repair to the outside of our house and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Highly recommended!
We have been using Bedford Home Improvement for over 10 years, and have been thoroughly satisfied. They do quality work, and do it quickly with minimal disruption to your life. He replaced our roof July 2019, and did a fantastic job. Quality installation, with appropriate ice shield. Left our yard completely clean without a nail to be found anywhere. And I am picky about that! We have had home exterior and interior painting, carpentry, replacement of columns on our front porch, on and on... They make sure the job is done right and we have never had any problems with the quality of work. They are also affordable, and don't charge the "Bedford premium" seen when so many other contractors inflate their prices because of the town we're in. I HIGHLY recommend them, you won't be sorry.
We chose Bedford Home Improvement for painting the exterior or our home and some carpentry work that was needed. Bruce and his team work were nothing short of excellent! Clean work, very friendly and accommodating, and attention to detail in everything they do. They are completely transparent through the whole process. When we encountered some issues with our wood siding due to the age of the home, Bruce and team clearly informed us of what needed to be done and costs. Our home looks like new again! I wouldn't hesitate to tell others if you are looking for someone to paint your home or for carpentry work, call Bedford Home Improvement!
After looking around and trying to find the right people/company to help us out with painting and fixing the exterior of our home, we were blessed to have discovered Bedford Home Improvement. They listened to our needs, and took care of my home as if it was their own. They are extremely transparent with what is going on regarding your residence. This is including but not limited to, 3 quotes (allowing you to choose the right investment for your property), starting on time, having amazing workers who put in 1000% daily (who are also respectable and professional), being extremely detailed oriented with the painting, trim, and color of your house, using high quality products, and guaranteeing those products. Bruce and his employees continued to not only keep me informed daily, but also impress me with the knowledge and love for the product and job. I would highly recommend Bedford Home Improvement for any exterior painting needs.
I hired Bedford Home Improvement to paint the outside of my house. From start to finish, Bruce was involved with the project and kept me abreast of the progress and next steps. His team did excellent and timely work, including daily cleanup. Extras I didn't even think about or expect was painting the shutters and replacing all of my outside spot lights. No detail was overlooked. They have even been back a couple of times to fix/touch-up areas, including some damage a woodpecker caused a few weeks after the job was completed. Bruce won't leave you hanging. I would recommend them to anyone.
The quality, professionalism, and attention to detail of the exterior painting and carpentry done by Bruce and his team at Bedford Home Improvement surpassed my expectations. This team of highly skilled craftsmen are curtious, timely, respectful, and tidy. Bruce's dedication to customer service and cost consciousness made my home improvement project easy. I highly recommend them and will be using them for future projects.
We are so happy with the result of the work done for us by Bedford Home Improvement. We needed some long-overdue carpentry work and painting, and Bruce and his crew did an excellent job taking care of this. They were hard working and very detail oriented. Our 35 year old home looks fresh and new thanks to this wonderful team. We highly recommend them!
Fair price, friendly respectful team, good work and on time
We have a very old home that needs a lot of prep work before painting. Very important to us to have this done and Bedford Home Improvement is doing that. Bruce not only is knowledgeable in his profession, uses top-notch products, has reliable employees, but also communicates with his customers. So far Bruce has done everything he has promised to do. Looking forward to seeing the finished look on this old home.

I was happy with the work he did and if I was not happy they would follow up and take care of it.
Bruce Randel and his team at Bedford Home Improvement easily get 5 stars! Their main business is in roofing, carpentry and painting. Bedford Home Improvement did a major rescue of my parents home. They moved out unexpectedly and I found quite the mess. Bruce is honest, gives a fair price and reliable. The quality of his work is excellent and he cares about his customers. I highly recommend Bruce and his team at Bedford Home Improvement.
I highly recommend Bedford Home Improvement. We had some construction and painting done. Bruce and his crews did an amazing job. Very professional and a pleasure to do business with.
We were very happy with the painting and loved the job on the wood trim replacement.
Bedford Home Improvement was great to work with. They provided both carpentry and painting on our home in Bedford.They showed up on time,cleaned up every day (even swept the driveway where they were working) and completed all the work as they promised. No haggling over the little things they found along the way, every detail was covered. I would recommend this company for any painting, carentry or roofing project. Great guys, great work, they went out of thier way to make sure we were happy.
We try to use only personal recommendations when we select a contractor. Bruce was referred to us by a close friend (who also left a 5-Star Review) and we couldn't be happier with the results. Their meticulous preparation, painting, application, neatness, courtesy, and clean-up demonstrated their skill and professionalism. The clapboard on our house needed many repairs, some of them challenging. Mark, the carpenter who works with Bruce, did an excellent job. It looks like a new house. The team works exceptionally well together and clearly enjoy what they do. We've since referred Bruce to a close friend who is also delighted with the result of their work. You'll be happy you contacted them. They are definitely worth the wait.
Bruce and his painting crew were fantastic! My 70-year-old Cape looks new again and they attended to every detail. Truly the best in the business!
I’ll start by saying, I am extremely particular and have high expectations when I hire someone to do a job. Bedford Home Improvement exceeded all of my expectations when they painted the outside of my home. We purchased the home and the color, a light brown with dark brown trim, was very dated. But I saw the potential when we bought the house, and dreamed of painting the house dark to update it.
Bruce was involved from the start, giving me all the information about the process and products his team would use. He helped me to feel confident in my design decisions. This was a big project for us, as we were “making over” the house and completely changing the color.
Bruce and his team were very skilled and professional. There wasn’t a question they could not answer. I had a lot.
They were patient too, as I had them try out samples, changed my mind, changed it again. We also had repairs done prior to painting, and the craftsmanship is outstanding, every detail paid attention to. In the end, the house looks like it belongs in a magazine and the whole family is extremely happy. When friends and family drove up the driveway and saw it for the first time the reaction was always “wow”!
I will call Bedford Home Improvement first for any job I can get them to do for us. They made painting our home easy, and even fun. I trusted Bruce and his team to do an amazing job, and they did! I highly recommend them. Hands down the best contractor experience I’ve had to date.
Bruce and his team were very professional and thorough throughout the whole process. Excellent work!
I am so grateful to have received a referral from my neighbor to Bedford Home Improvement (BHI). I saw Bruce and his work crews as they completed projects for three homes in my neighborhood. Each neighbor has great things to say about Bruce and his team. Now I do, too.
My less than stellar experiences with other contractors had me dreading the process of soliciting quotes and managing a contractor as the project would proceed. My experience with BHI has reset my expectations regarding how easy it can be to have a project quoted and completed.
I needed exterior paint and many carpentry repairs. When I purchased my home, I knew that there was a lot of maintenance that was deferred by the prior owner some of which caused water damage. Bruce walked around the property and suggested several solutions for the issues that my home had. He understood where I wanted to be in terms of my budget,
so he provided multiple options - good, better, and best. He offered recommendations for each problem based on my sensitivity to price and how strongly I felt about not having the issue return. In some high-moisture areas we replaced wood with PVC. In other areas, pressure treated wood was acceptable. I definitely feel as though I got the best custom tailored solution at the best possible price.
Bruce was on-site regularly. Not that he needed to be because his team knew what needed to be done and remained focused to the end.
All of my requests were guilt-free comfortable conversations regarding multiple paint color samples, material options, shutters on, shutters off, and adjustments if I did not like the way something looked. Bruce made the entire process easy.
I love the high-quality detail work that was done, such as custom garage molding, dentil, unique window eyebrow trim and trim blocking. My wife and I are so happy with the results.
Some say it's about customer service. But I would say that it is the experience that keeps people coming back and telling others. We had the house painted and roofed. Not only did he gently help us select a better roof color to match the new paint color (WOW IT POPS BTW), but he went the extra step to paint the gable end above the roof line just to make sure no one walked on or accidently spilt paint on the new roof below. Wouldn't have thought of that. But definitely a nice precautionary element. One thing for sure you could tell that their work was worth putting their name on it. You never felt like they were just here to slap on paint. They spent lots of time and gave extra care to making sure their product would last. There were a few tough areas. Rather than cover it up, they took the extra time to prepare the surface.
They even said they would warranty their work for 5 years. Well today, I got to see that in action. I had a few spots that needed touch up. They took the time to examine the entire house and properly sand down, prime and paint areas that I didn't even notice. Wood is a funny thing. And they had told me up front to expect a few areas that might need attention. What a pleasure to work with. Never a cause to question their sincerity. Give Bruce a call. He has great people on his team. Fun, personable, honest, diligent, and a pleasure to work with. You can tell how important it is to them to make sure you know they treated your home like they would treat their own. Well done Bruce and team.
Bedford Home Improvement has earned repeat business and is my go-to for exterior painting and carpentry services. The team’s speed and workmanship met/exceeded expectation. The contractor was careful to track and contain costs and provided daily picture updates. Full endorsement and I will go to them first for all exterior and interior craftsman work.
