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.

We asked Powell to repair several areas of rotted/damaged wood and paint the exterior of our house…read more They did a fantastic job, for a reasonable price, and well within the expected timelines. The carpentry is beautiful and looks original. The paint job is expert, even in areas that are challenging to reach. They even replaced a few broken panes of glass. The crew was extremely professional and performed high-quality work. The project manager, Andre, checked in twice daily to ensure we were happy, give us updates, and answer any questions. We are delighted with the work, and would highly recommend Powell.

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.

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.

In short, I had my living room redone from a dark blue with dark grey ceiling to be redone in Ivory Tusk White and done in gloss oil-based paint for a shiny and tough/durable finish. This is a bear of a job especially since I have Wilton wall-to-wall wool black carpet that is VERY expensive (I have seen this exact carpeting in Buckingham Palace, Trump Tower and in Hulk Hogan's place). I am highly paranoid of it being damaged. The base board needed to be painted as well, and I am proud to say that Elite Painters did a perfect job and not one jot of paint got on the carpet. They also plastered many drywall holes and heavily damaged areas which came out great. Elite Painters is very respectful as I have many delicate objects, and great care was taken to preserve and project everything appropriately. Communication was great and they always showed up on time. In conclusion, Elite Painters is top notch and the owner is very well-spoken and intelligent thus making doing business a breeze. Highly recommended.

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.
