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

Niemar from Nick's Pro Painting responded 10 minutes after the request was submitted and agreed to…read morean appointment 2 days later. He was available the next day, but I wasn't. He arrived 15 minutes early after confirming the appointment time 1 hour beforehand. He was professional, took the time to drive to Worcester, and provided a free estimate. Even though he was not hired, which is reflected in the raiting and the following explained experience, Nick's Pro Painting does deserve positive acknowledgement for this paragraph. This is a specialty job requiring detailed workmanship to strip and match stain as close as possible that two different contractors destroyed (after being asked NOT to paint/stain). One room has four different color stains, paint smeared on woodwork, doors that don't match their door frames, and a new expensive barn door with dried stain running down it. My initial request included pictures and explained that this job was mainly to sand, strip stain, and match woodwork as close as possible. All respondents were aware upfront. This task is able to be accomplished because a professional painter had already performed some of the work before becoming unavailable. It was disappointing to hear Niemar, a professional painter, recommend to just paint everything white. This, after one painter already completed some of the work, a second painter the previous week said he could do it, and a contractor yesterday said he could do it. I, myself, could just slap white paint on the woodwork if that's what I wanted, losing the higher quality wood in the process. 1"x 4ft pieces are painted white, not oak baseboards and carved moulding. This is a two-story house, so while the second floor would have beautiful matched stain, MOST (not all) of the first floor rooms would have white, painted trim. While that is the standard nowadays, this city house on a dead-end street has trees and nature on two sides, plus deer/wild turkeys/bunnies that pass by. The interior woodwork is a reflection of the ever disappearing nature outside. The desired end result is for beauty and consistency. This was my deceased mother's house, to be listed for sale in spring 2025. With a 5 rating I think I had higher expectations than a lazy suggestion. Additionally, the brief, interim owner after my mother died, is a Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker-Worcester Branch, who flips houses (I'd run from her and them!) She had the nice vinyl siding painted, which is now peeling and cracking after only 16 months! Niemar said he couldn't touch it up without having the exact brand and color paint used. This was surprising to hear since ROOFERS were able to replace some cracked siding (my mother kept extra of the original, unpainted siding) and they painted it to match by bringing a scraped piece of paint to Home Depot and having exterior paint tinted to the sample. The type of paint was recommended by the initial, professional painter, who painted the entire interior and was capable of correcting the mis-matched stain nightmare unnecessarily created by incompetent contractors who refuse to listen. My impression is that, because the project is a tedious, detailed labor of love honoring my mother's memory and for the next family, Niemar just didn't want to do it. Which is fine of course, but it might be better in future to say something to the effect of, "While I'd like to help, this project is going to be a little too time-consuming to fit in with other jobs we currently have," rather than what he actually said, which was, "It will have to be sanded. There will be dust. I can't do it." It would have been better if, after seeing the request/pictures and knowing what was being asked before contacting me, that the response was, "Unfortunately, Nick's Pro is unavailable." Coming to see the house when unable to perform the job was just a waste of time for both of us.

He and his team went above and beyond, working long hours to completely transform our new home before move-in, painting all walls, trim, ceilings, cabinets, and closets in under a week.

Oliver also stepped in to help with hardware, caulking, and other details that weren't even part of his scope, simply out of generosity and pride in his work.

Casio was competent…read moreand told me exactly the work that was required and he predicted to the letter what would happen if I went with the other contractor. Got the advice from my interior designer that I should go with the contractor who bid at 1K less than Casio and used the saved money for other decorating expenses, e.g., a couch--biggest mistake of my life. The contractor underbid on the paint coats like Casio said, and the work was sloppy. I ended up having to pay for the extra coat and didn't really save any money at all--plus now I have to go and touch up some of the messy work they did myself. Will not be using anyone but Casio's team in the future because competency is worth every penny.

Highly recommend. I could not be happier with my experience with the team at Powell. From start to…read morefinish, they were professional, responsive, and easy to work with. We hired Powell to paint the exterior of our home and their carpentry services to replace several rotted window frames for a three story house. Andre stopped by to perform the initial exam and was very thorough and knowledgeable on the work that needed to be done. Unlike other painters I contacted, the Powell team was easy to contact and actually showed up on time for the scheduled time slot. Their quote for the project came in right around the same as other quotes we received, and it was well worth the cost. I can't praise the level of service you get with Powell. Stephanie, who handles scheduling and billing, was on top of communications so that I didn't have to worry about anything. Even the owner, Bryan, stopped by at the beginning to inspect a few leaks we had in our ceiling to help us determine whether there were other issues beyond repairing the rotted windows for us to consider. They will even bring out the drone for inspection if you have a tall home. As additional rotted windows were discovered during the power washing, work orders to add additional work was clear and simple. Once the work actually began, it went so smoothly. Andre stopped by every morning and afternoon to check in and update us. Our crew, Thiago and Breno, were incredibly hard workers. They were at our home by 7:30 am every morning despite the terrible traffic and often worked past 7 pm even during a heat wave. The guys were experts on the ladders despite having a few high, tricky spots to get to. The worksite was clean after each day which I was grateful for as we have a toddler running around. The entire project took 10 days. While it moved fast, it didn't feel rushed and no corners were cut to finish quickly. They even paused the project for 2 days because of rain so that we didn't run the risk of streaky paint. After the work was completed, they insisted on us contacting them if we weren't satisfied with any part of the project. Our home looks completely transformed and brand new. I cannot recommend Powell Painting enough for a stress free and professionally done project.

Working with Powell has been one of the best experiences I have had as a new homeowner…read more I reached out to Powell to see if they would be willing to paint the basement room in the townhouse that serves as my movie room\home office. The color that the prior owners picked while nice was a bit too dark for such a small room. They responded to my inquiry the same day and arranged a date and time to stop by and look at the room. Bryan and Andre arrived exactly on time and took a look at the room. Super friendly, patient, and willing to address any questions and concerns. As part of the renovation of the room, I was planning on replacing the carpet and asked him if I should do it before painting the room or after. He strongly suggested to replace the carpet first since the installers tend to scuff the baseboards terribly as they are ripping the old carpet out. I followed his advice and did the carpet first and sure enough the baseboards were in such bad shape after that had I painted I would have had to repaint them. I'm so thankful for that. On the day of the job, Bryan and Andre introduced me to Freddie who would be painting the room for me. Super friendly, professional, and honest. After grabbing the paint, he laid down tarp to cover the brand new carpet and got to work on the walls. It's amazing how quickly he was able to paint this room. It felt as if every move was calculated. What's more impressive is that he conversed with me the entire time! During the end of day 1, Freddie called me over and informed me that the two coats of paint that the quoted me for the job would not be sufficient for cover the walls and they will need to grab another can of paint. I asked him how much extra would I need to pay on top of the quote and said nothing. They told me it would take two coats, it didn't, so it was on them to make it right. Freddie told me he already informed Bryan and he would stop by the paint store tomorrow to grab another can of paint on their dime. I wasn't expecting that at all but greatly appreciated it. In the early afternoon of the second day the room was done. I thanked Freddie and waited for the paint to dry before heading down to plan out moving furniture back in. It was then that I noticed that there were some areas in the room that we not completely covered. I reached out to Stephanie and she called back soon after and told me that Freddie would be stopping by again later the SAME day to take a look. True to their word, Freddie stopped by and took a look at the walls now that they were dry and he confirmed the coverage issues. He grabbed paint and did another pass on the walls which removed the old color. After Freddie departed I started to notice that that wall color is much much warmer that I expected. I tried various color temps on the lights to no effect. I took a look at the sample patch in the other room and confirmed that it looked very different and that maybe I might have made an expensive mistake with the paint choice for this room. On a whim I took a few pics and emailed Stephanie with my concerns. I figured at this point they'll I'm crazy and I didn't expect to hear back. After all, I chose the paint color, they painted the room perfectly, their task is done. An hour after I send the email I get a call, it was Bryan. He looked at the photos, and saw the same thing that I have seen, and he and Stephanie have been trying to figure out the root cause. It turned out that there was some miscommunication and an incorrect shade of white was used on the doors and trim causing white walls to become warmer than they should. He apologized and asked to send a couple of painters the following day with the correct paint to address. I already felt bad about Freddie having to come back so I told Bryan not to rush but he insisted. He knew I took the week off to clear out the room to get it painted, and he wanted to get the job done so I have the weekend to put everything back together so I can work on Monday. 7am the following morning Andre and another painter arrived with the correct paint and took a little over an hour to repaint the doors and trim. As soon as I stepped into the room the walls immediately cooled down. And the state of the brand-new carpet after they were done? Spotless. I love the room now. Snow like color make the room feel bigger and more comfortable. It's easily my favorite place in the house. If you're looking for painting service for your home and are within the service area don't bother looking anywhere else. It's not just the quality of their work (which is outstanding), it's their level of accountability. They will do everything to ensure that the job is done and that you are happy. They came back to my home at two separate occasions to complete one room and I didn't pay a penny more than what was initially quoted to me. I cannot recommend Powell enough and can't wait until I can get them to paint other areas of the home.

After the job, a phone line had been left dangling (not a big deal). I texted Thiago, and within a couple of hours, it was fixed. We got 3 bids for the job, and Thiago's Painting was by far the best value. The only issue we had was that the team kept leaving our back gate open (we have dogs and live on a busy street), but other than that I would highly recommend Thiago's Painting.

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.
