Operating from their Brighton location since 2018, they've completed projects ranging from single-room condos to multi-unit commercial buildings.

The BBB A+ accredited company uses premium Sherwin-Williams products and offers a warranty on work, though horizontal walking surfaces like deck floors require more frequent maintenance due to wear.

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

When Ashley Sterlace needed her 1840s historic home restored, Big Dog Painting didn't just paint the exterior. They rebuilt her porch with Tim and Angel preserving every architectural detail, while Ever led a crew working through 90-degree heat to transform weathered siding into museum-quality restoration. The team left her property "spotless every day" throughout the project, respecting both the historical character and the family living inside. This level of care defines how Big Dog operates across Greater Boston, treating each home as if it belongs to their own family.

From their Woburn headquarters, owner Graeme Clohosey and his team have built over 150 five-star Google reviews through predictable excellence. Charlie Cooper manages operations with same-day responses to estimates. Project foremen like Denis check work multiple times daily. Painters like Jake and Leo turn 40-year-old kitchen cabinets into showpieces that customers mistake for brand new installations. When unexpected issues arise (water damage, discovered rot, mold behind walls) the team addresses them immediately without stopping work or demanding change orders. Reviews consistently mention this flexibility, with one homeowner noting how Big Dog discovered and resolved a leak/mold situation while they were traveling, handling everything "super quickly and seamlessly."

The company operates through word-of-mouth referrals and repeat customers who book additional projects after experiencing their first. With over 15 years in business and holding Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor License #196727, they serve 30+ communities from Boston to the North Shore. Their EPA Lead Certification makes them particularly qualified for the region's abundant historic properties, while their cabinet refinishing expertise offers homeowners that "new kitchen look without the new kitchen cost" as their website promises.

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.
