Painting & Home Services in Surry, Maine

Surry bills itself as the "Gateway to the Blue Hill Peninsula," a rural, residential town on the west bank of Union River Bay just a few miles from Ellsworth. Once home to active lumbering, shipbuilding, and even small mining operations, Surry today is a quieter community of waterfront homes, wooded lots, and long shoreline stretches along Newbury Neck, Morgan Bay, and Union River Bay.

Waterfront homes along Surry's extensive shoreline face the same salt air and coastal moisture that affects any Hancock County bay town, and we treat them with the marine-grade paint and careful prep work that kind of exposure demands. For the more inland, wooded properties that make up much of Surry, the bigger concerns tend to be general weatherproofing against Maine's cold winters and regular maintenance painting.

Surry's relaxed, residential character — summed up well by its own description of watching lobstermen pull traps from Morgan Bay or hunting for sea glass on Carrying Place Beach — comes with real upkeep needs for the homes that make up the town. We provide pressure washing for siding, docks, and driveways, concrete repair for walkways and foundations hit by frost heave, and carpentry and roofing for trim repair and small renovations.

As a contractor already serving nearby Ellsworth and the surrounding Hancock County coast, we know Surry's roads, its weather, and the kind of properties that make up this gateway town. Paredes Painting & Pressure Washing offers fully insured painting, pressure washing, carpentry, roofing, and concrete repair, with a free estimate for any home in Surry.

Surry's population of around 1,700 has grown steadily in recent decades as more people seek out its mix of rural character and proximity to Ellsworth's shops, services, and hospital, located just 8 miles away. The town's roughly 51 square miles stretch from the Union River Bay shoreline to inland forests and ponds, and properties here range from waterfront homes with direct bay access to quiet wooded lots well off the main roads.

Newbury Neck, a peninsula extending more than six miles into the water, is one of Surry's most distinctive features, and homes along its length face the same coastal exposure as any Hancock County waterfront property. Whether your home overlooks Morgan Bay from Newbury Neck, sits near Surry village, or is tucked into the woods toward Blue Hill, Paredes Painting & Pressure Washing is ready to provide a free, no-obligation estimate on your next exterior project.
