Avoid this company at all costs, you will be left with a half finished job. If you're thinking…read moreabout hiring Barreto and blessed painting, in a word, DON'T. You will be messed around for weeks, delayed and ultimately disappointed. Working with this guy is the height of frustration. But, lets be fair and present a balanced review; Let me start with the positives - Called Barreto on a Wednesday, he picked up and arranged to meet me that night, at 530pm. He arrived at my house at 5pm, early, a good start! - Barreto started the work in good faith with no payment upfront. - The bid that Barreto came in with was at the upper level of competing bids. We needed a new ceiling hung and plaster applied over the sheetrock. Although he was coming in on the high end, he could start that saturday, so we agreed on the price, shook hands and ill see you saturday @ 8am - The two guys that arrived at 8am were pleasant enough. They laid down their protective equipment (they used my plastic and painters tape though!) for the floor and off they went cutting and installing the ceiling. After a quick break, they started plastering the ceiling. They started at 8am and they were done by 130pm, it looked good. excellent! That's were the positives ended. Lets get to the negatives and the real reason you should look elsewhere, anywhere, for a painting contractor. After the ceiling was installed, I spoke to Barreto about painting the ceiling, the walls, prepping and painting all the trim work. He gave me a price, it was good, the lowest bid that we have received. I gladly accepted his offer and he said when the plaster is dry his guys could come back and finish the job. This was October 8th. what happened between 8th October and 3rd November was 20+ text messages, phone calls, emails to Barreto, the majority which were ignored. All i was asking was "when can you come back to finish" and i would receive a response "i'm busy, sorry" "we are busy, we will get back to you" "we are busy until January, you can get another company to finish it if you like". JANUARY!!! WTH????? no one is that busy. After much thought it became obvious that he had underbid on the cost estimate for the painting and didnt want to commit to it. The painting, with all the sanding and prep work, was a two day job, easily. He was willing to offer one day of work for the quote he had bid. This wasnt going to work, he didnt want to do the work because he had underbid on two guys working 16 hours on a job and wouldnt make any money, and i wasnt willing to let him rush the job, compressing two days of work into one day. It would have looked terrible, rushed and unprofessional. Overall, i think Barreto and blessed painting are kinda shady. At one point he asked me to "leave your door open, you dont need to be there when we are painting" who in their right mind would leave 2-3 virtual strangers in their home for 8 hours? no one, i dont care who you are and how trusting you are. So here we are the job half finished, the ceiling has imperfections that i will now have to pay someone else to deal with and will have to contract another company to actually come and finish the paint job. I simply wouldnt hire Barreto or recommend him to anyone. There are literally dozens of painting contractors in the Boston area, i went to Blessed painting and Barreto because of the 4 star reviews on YELP. However, if you look closely, you'll see that no one has reviewed his company in over a year and i can only assume people are having the same bad experiences with him. Look elsewhere, trust me.

Nothing but 5 stars has to make you wonder, doesn't it? I hired Paint Bros after Justin…read moresmooth-talked me during an estimate conversation and I expected to get what he promised - a professional job done by respectful crews who would treat my home as their own. Instead, I was left with moisture issues in my home that I'm still assessing the severity of, product all over my light fixtures and floors, and garbage (energy drink cans, a half-eaten sandwich left on the counter). They cranked my heating system up so high that the humidity rose in my house to 100%, due in part to the fact that they didn't reopen the vents they had closed while plastering. There was so much moisture in the air that a pool of water formed on the floor protection because it couldn't absorb anymore, and the windows were fogged up in every single room as you can see. On the advice of another contractor, I've already had to purchase a commercial dehumidifier to remediate the issues they've caused and it's barely been 24 hours since I let them go. I fired Paint Bros on the third day of the job, after speaking with Justin on the second day and raising issues to be solved that were not. While I originally appreciated his willingness to refund my initial deposit and his promise to me on the day they cleaned out their equipment that I would not be charged for any additional services, his partner Jake quickly walked this back. He called me from a number that showed up as The Yoga Tree on ID to tell me that they would, actually, be sending me an invoice. He tried to say I am the only unhappy customer they've ever had. I'm perfectly willing to admit that I was irate when he called and didn't handle it well, and that's on me. My New Jersey mouth got the best of me at 8:30 this morning. But, my New Jersey BS detector is still perfectly functional and these guys are more likely to be suppressing bad reviews than delivering quality services every time. I should add, the brown floor covering in these photos was laid by me before they even started because my hardwood floors were recently refinished. Part of the quote I received from them initially clearly breaks out extensive prep, and yet none of it happened. The fact that they couldn't bother to do anything additional says it all. Justin's offer to have a cleaning crew come to my house after they packed up their gear was declined because I just couldn't trust that anything they would do for me, directly or indirectly, would be handled with care. In my experience, they will hide behind the fact that they are a small business and try to gaslight you because, look at their glowing reviews! But I have to wonder... their crews had finished another job early right before mine. Was it because they were so efficient, or did someone else go through what I did as well?

Bill was the first contractor to respond and came by to meet with me within just days of my requesting a quote. Bill took measurements, calculated time & costs for my project and then provided me a written quote before he left. I was so impressed by Bill, his fair quote and his guarantee, that I accepted his quote and hired his company on the spot. They started 2 weeks later and I cannot say enough about Bill's crew, led by Anderson. They are punctual, efficient and true professionals. When sanding the cabinets, there was no dust due to the sander having a pump which drew the dust particles into it. throughout the project, they taped off and covered counters and floors to protect them. Premier Painting is the best!! I'm so thankful that I found this amazing company who've transformed my kitchen to be the bright, beautiful and welcoming heart of my home!

He looked at the job, gave me an hourly quote and decided to give the work to an employee that never painted cabinets before.

Once the job was almost done, he sent me an invoice and asked for a check immediately. when I questioned his hours on the invoice; he responded with insults and was very rude.
