About

When Marc Camm's electrician finished upgrading the wiring in his Brookline condo renovation, the walls and ceilings looked like Swiss cheese. At least 50 holes needed patching where new wiring had been snaked through, new plugs installed, new switches cut in. Marc described it as looking "like a nightmare," but Paul Gonnella and his crew weren't fazed. They patched every hole so thoroughly you wouldn't know any had existed, then sanded, repaired intricate details, and painted the entire condo. The speed impressed Marc as much as the quality, along with what he called a reasonable price for such extensive work.

That condo project represents typical Gonnella execution. Owner Paul Gonnella has built over 100 five-star Google reviews and a perfect 5.0-star rating since launching the company in 2017 as a third-generation painting family business. From their Beacon Street office in Brookline, they handle everything from single-room refreshes to complex multi-property exterior projects requiring scaffolding. Customers repeatedly mention the crew's punctuality, thorough surface preparation, and the cleanliness standards that leave spaces spotless. When Sterling Etheridge reached out on a Monday for a quote, the team started and completed his project by Wednesday. That responsiveness runs through operations.

Gonnella operates primarily through referrals and word-of-mouth. Customers hire them once for basic painting, then immediately book cabinet refinishing or bring them to their rental properties because the professionalism exceeded expectations. The perfect 5.0-star average across over 100 Google reviews reflects something beyond technical painting skill. It captures a contractor who patches 50 electrical holes without complaint, returns for touch-ups after projects are paid in full and complete, and maintains the kind of communication and reliability that turns first-time customers into repeat clients who recommend them to their condo associations.

About

When Concord cottage baker The Kneddy Bakery needed their commercial kitchen painted quickly between orders, Oliveira Painting completed the job so efficiently the owner would have called it knocking it out of the park. This level of urgency and understanding defines how Ronilton Oliveira runs his painting operation from Cambridge, recognizing that behind every project timeline is a family waiting to use their kitchen again or a business maintaining operations.

Ron and his crew have built their over 250 Google reviews and 4.9-star rating through consistent practices. Morning confirmation texts before arrivals, furniture protection under multiple layers of plastic, addressing discovered issues like door alignment without change orders. From their shop on Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge, they handle everything from single-room refreshes to complete commercial transformations. Customers repeatedly mention the daily progress updates, the cleaning between work days, and Ron's habit of walking through completed projects to point out even minor imperfections before clients notice them.

Oliveira operates primarily through word-of-mouth referrals and repeat customers. Clients like Cindy Hoy hire them once, then continue using them for seven years across multiple properties. The perfect 5.0-star average on Facebook reflects something more than technical painting skill. It captures a contractor who takes pride in details, maintains constant communication through the project, and consistently delivers the kind of reliability that turns first-time customers into decade-long relationships.

About

Led by owner Adilson Costa since 2007, Costa Painting Services Inc and Carpentry has built a reputation with over 90 five-star Google reviews and a 4.9-star rating through hands-on service and versatile expertise. Operating from Somerville, this team handles both painting and carpentry work, solving problems that contractors often split into separate projects. When crews arrive for exterior painting, they repair rotten wood and replace failing gutters during the same visit rather than scheduling additional trips.

The combination of painting and carpentry capabilities sets Costa Painting apart in addressing complete home improvement needs. Christopher Dunphy hired them for his 1895 Victorian exterior, receiving not just painting but extensive front porch carpentry, siding repair, and complete gutter replacement in one comprehensive project. Christine Kamp Cichello watched the crew go beyond painting to fix gutters, repair woodwork, and seal every entry point squirrels could access. Reviews consistently mention attention to detail, with crews protecting surfaces carefully, cleaning up after each day's work, and Adilson personally ensuring every item gets completed before calling a project finished.

What distinguishes Costa Painting is their accountability. When Chris Long's project missed gutter adjustments and chimney painting, the crew returned the next day and refused payment until everything was done correctly. Multiple customers mention Adilson's responsiveness to questions throughout projects and his practice of addressing discovered issues without scheduling delays or surprise charges. The company serves greater Boston communities from their Somerville base, handling projects ranging from single-room interior painting to complete Victorian restorations with the same commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
