We hired Ridge Painting to paint and repair the exterior of our 2-story home in Cambridge. The job…read morewas challenging, because the house, which is covered in cedar shingles, needed alot of shingle and wood trim replacement, as well as sanding and painting. Kieran listened to our goals for the job, and he consistently took those into account throughout the job. Kieran, who managed the job with great care, and his crew performed excellently! They were hard working, efficient, considerate of us and our neighbors, cleaned up at the end of each day, and they completed the job within the estimated timeline and right on budget, even though they did extra work outside the contract, because they wanted the work done completely with high quality. Also, Kieran is easy and accessible for discussions and update reports, all in person. Kieran personally managed his crew each day, and he made sure everything was done to a high standard. Ridge Painting impressed me very much with their dedication to quality throughout the process and with their great attitudes about their work.

Ridge Painting and Restoration was not the cheapest of the estimates we got (nor the most expensive) but Kieran's straight forward communication as well as the very positive reviews on Yelp led us to hire them. Since I was coordinating the job with him from across the country, communication was very important. Kieran was very reponsive, thorough, and prompt, answering all questions completely and keeping us up-to-date on any scheduling changes. He's professional, friendly, and clearly cares about his work. He and his team worked diligently and meticulously, cleaned things up daily, and followed through on any final concerns. I would 100% hire Ridge Painting for future jobs

I cannot rave enough about Mario and his team - I would give them 500 stars if I could! We had…read morealmost our entire home painted before moving in - walls, trim, ceilings, closets, just everything. The attention to detail was beyond - Mario and his team scraped and plastered and patched so that the walls and all the rough areas (including some closets that needed a ton of work) look like new construction (the home is almost 100 years old). They took the doors off of cabinets and sanded and then painted. They sanded all of the baseboards and trim before priming and painting. We had them remove this falling-apart wallpaper in one room, and it looks like new walls now also. The hinges on the doors were half-covered with paint, and when Mario's guys saw them, they offered to paint them entirely or get the paint off of them (by soaking? I don't know) - we opted for the latter and they came out GORGEOUS. The home also had some sort of dark finish on the trim and doors on the second floor, and we wanted it white. Mario's also did an incredible job with that. I told him and his team that they were like artists - their work was simply perfection, the attention to detail everything I could have hoped for. Oh, and at the end, the clean up was spectacular. As if they hadn't gone beyond already! I just feel so lucky we came across them and went with them when we chose painters, and I cannot wait to hire them to start on the outside of the home. Mario and team, thank you thank you. From the bottom of our hearts. We have a real home now, thanks to you.

Mario's team did significant exterior carpentry and paint work on our brownstone condo building. He…read morewas extremely responsive to additional requests and able to accommodate expansion of work and the team was diligent and thorough in execution of the work. Further the quote and price of the work was extremely reasonable and quality was still superb! In the front, they scraped and prepped the entryway, front door, and 2nd floor bay window as well as removing and patching the transom frame to open the space up--they then painted everything including the window trim across all three floors. In the rear of the home they scraped our wood siding and replaced any rotted wood with PVC, then repainted in a color drench. The team also removed a wood basement entry structure that was rotting in the back and replaced with a newly framed door. Lastly the team also removed old and installed new custom basement windows in the front granite of our home including new trim and waterproofing, as well as painting. The team also did small finishing touches at no extra charge including installing a new entry light and hanging window boxes. We are already planning future projects with Mario and his team!

They came out beautifully. We're so happy our home got a Fresh Coat!

In March a good friend of mine called me up and said that he found a good painter for me for the…read moreright price. He also recommended that I would do it right away. I called Josh and talked to him about my house that is huge and old; as I told him, I needed to repair the windows before the paint job could be completed. Josh said that he knew a carpenter who could do the windows and would paint the house after the repairs were done. As it turned out, I needed to get 27 windows fixed. So I had a bargain, a good carpenter who was ready to go up three stories to get my windows on the top floor and a painter who was going to paint my three-decker. Eventually, J&J came after all the repairs were completed and painted my house in 10 days. They were extremely efficient, professional, and pleasant to deal with. They answered my concerns by scraping, sanding, and caulking all surfaces. They used primer and good paint. Some of my neighbors came over to Josh to ask him whether he could paint their houses too. There was no drama, no mess. They told me in advance to inform other residents not to use the common area for a day or two. I definitely hope to hire them for inside jobs and recommend them for outside painting.

John and his people (especially JP) were great. A beautiful paint job on my house. John is…read moreespecially good at setting expectations and communicating throughout the job.

I had a great experience having John Kearns and Countryside repaint the exterior of our Somerville…read morethree-story. The pricing was clear and they checked about any additions beforehand. They kept the yard clean, with no smoking/music, and thorough site protection from lead while scraping. John painted a number of samples of our red siding colors on the house so we could find the match we liked, and also took care of matching the cream and blue colors. He and the crew also made some recommendations (like painting the downspouts and adjusting the deck color to match the rest of the house better), but didn't press if I decided differently. They also identified areas that needed wood repair (fascia, siding, porch base) and did those very nicely, again with clear pricing ranges up front. The couple times I wasn't happy with something, they fixed it right away. There was a tricky spot to reach on a 3rd floor dormer, and when I called it out they went back and got it. And the crew scraped/prepped a railing that I had initially not asked to be repainted, but they just included it in the repainting without charging extra. They aren't cheap, but the quality of work and communication is excellent. I won't hesitate to contact John again.
