Winthrop, MA Painting Contractors

About

With over 150 five-star Google reviews and a 4.9-star rating, Mendez Painters Incorporated has established itself as one of Greater Boston's most reliable painting contractors. Owner Florentino Mendez and his experienced crew have built this reputation through meticulous preparation work that customers say surpasses other contractors. Reviews consistently highlight their thorough scraping, power washing, and oil-based primer application, with one 40-year homeowner stating that among three painting companies hired over the decades, "none compare to the work of Mendez Painters."

The Wakefield-based company serves over 40 communities from Beverly to Boston, specializing in both residential and commercial painting, cabinet refinishing, deck staining, carpentry, and roofing services. What distinguishes their approach is the attention to detail that goes beyond basic painting. Crews carefully mask windows, protect plants around foundations, and take time for proper primer curing between coats. Multiple customers note how the team discovered and repaired rotted wood, replaced trim boards, and addressed issues without requiring change orders or additional scheduling delays.

Operating for over 18 years, Mendez Painters maintains competitive pricing while using premium materials from Sherwin-Williams, PPG, and Benjamin Moore. Their fully insured team consistently receives praise for professionalism, punctuality, and communication, with Florentino personally checking work quality and responding quickly to estimate requests. The company's commitment to lasting results shows in their use of oil-based primers and high-quality paints, with customers reporting their paint jobs look "brand new" years later.

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.
