Rochas Pro Painters is a local company with 10 years of experience in the painting industry. We are located in Massachusetts, our company was created by two brothers in law who dedicated their time and effort to make sure the customers have the best customer services in town. Rochas Pro Painters lives by policy that honesty and respect the customers are the top priorities

"The purpose of this review is to warn others about this company. We hired them to remodel our bathrooms, paint our fireplaces and fireplace covers with fire- rated paint, and to to refinish our bathtub and showers by using epoxy paint. This “professional” painting company painted everything with wrong paint. They used door, trim, and cabinet paint to refinish our tub and showers instead of epoxy paint (Please see photos). They painted our fieplace and fireplace covers with acrylic paint. When we caught them with the wrong paint they said that they can strip the paint and re-paint it for us. When they stripped the paint, they over stripped it and caused irreversible damage to our 2 showers, tub, fireplace covers, and fireplace marble. They admitted to fault, but their solution was to replace $3000 custom fireplace screens with $350 screens from Amazon that didn’t fit. Mind you that we have 2 custom fireplaces (2x $3000/cover) that they destroyed in different areas of the house. Moreover, they told us to use tape to fix a 3 inch crack in our tub that they destroyed. We weren’t happy with their solution so we made a claim to their liability insurance company. They started lying and said that they didn’t do the damage. However, their liability insurance performed an investigation and admitted that Rocha Painters caused the damages, but that their insurance company’s policies state that it doesn’t cover the items that Rocha Painters destroyed. It is documented by their insurance company that they are responsible for $30,000 worth of damages to our house and their liability insurance will only cover about $4,000 of the damages (please see proof with letter written by their insurance company). We are furious as this has been going on since April of this year. In addition to this, when they were here painting, they failed to use drop cloths, and spayed black paint everywhere including our white marbled fireplaces and brand new subflooors. Please see photos. Moreover, their crew made themselves at home and used our microwave to heat up their lunches without even asking for our permission. They just walked up to our kitchen and each one plopped their lunches inside our microwave and began heating away. Do yourself a favor to avoid the headache-please reconsider the importance of your peace of mind and do not hire this untrustworthy company. They have no integrity and disrespects their customers’ homes. Most importantly, they carry minimal insurance that will not cover the damages they make to your house."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Cupping and bowing are both types of wood warping, but they affect the board in different ways. Cupping happens when the edges of a board curl upward or downward, creating a concave or convex shape across its width. Conversely, bowing is when the board curves along its length, forming a gentle arc. 

If you’re considering buying a home with known termite damage, you can negotiate with the seller to lower the costs of the house. They might be able to make the damage repairs before handing over the keys or lower the asking price before the deal is agreed upon. It’s vital though that even if you’re winning the negotiation, a home inspection contingency might be a good idea in case of future issues.

Generally completed within a couple of hours, depending on damage extent.

Call a foundation repair pro to replace a rotted support beam. Your contractor will likely install temporary support to the area while replacing the beam with new wood or steel. Load-bearing elements of your home—such as the horizontal beams that run along your floors, walls, roof, and ceilings—should be inspected by a trained structural engineer. Call these experts the moment you detect rot, water damage, or foundation issues in your home. 

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.
