Carlos and his team did an excellent job painting the exterior of my home. I am thrilled by the job completed. They were very professional, on time, and left the work site each day very clean. They were very easy to communicate with and I will use them for any future work.

House repairs Carlos and the team are truly great! I am writing to express my satisfaction with the work done by the Carlos and team who fixed my house trims and painted parts of my house. The work was done quickly and efficiently, and the results are outstanding. The carpenters were very professional and experienced. They took the time to listen to my needs and make sure that the work was done to my satisfaction. The team fixed all of the damaged trim around my house. They replaced the rotted wood, patched the holes, and painted the trim to match the rest of the house. They were also very careful to protect my property and to clean up after themselves. The painters were also very professional and experienced. I am very happy with the work that was done by the team. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for quality work at a fair price. I am very pleased with the results of the work that was done. My house looks great and a few other professionals working on the house said they will use Carlos in their future projects. I would highly recommend Real Painting & Home Improvement to anyone who is looking for quality work at a fair price.

Very pleased with the work of Carlos Corte-Real and his crew. Carlos was patient and always available to answer all our questions, and his crew were hard-working and professional. They did quality work, were careful around our bushes and deck, cleaned up everywhere, and made sure we were satisfied before final payment was requested. We would recommend them again. (Upton, MA)

We had last painted our house over 10 years ago and it was in dire need of carpentry work and exterior painting. I found it very easy to work with Real Painting from the start - they had solutions to all of our needs and the quote was detailed and easy to understand. The carpentry team was very skilled and their work exceeded my expectations for quality. The painting crew did an amazing job preparing the house for painting. They completely stripped the paint in most key areas and sanded the clapboards to perfection. Their attention to detail was immaculate - from caulking all to way to the finishing touches with our two-tone paint scheme. They also kept the site very clean. Everyone on the team was friendly, easy to talk to, and always showed that they cared for me as the customer. I am very happy with the work from Real - they delivered a great product at a reasonable price and within the expected timeframe.

When we decided to paint our 16-year-old house we could not be happier with our decision to go with Real Painting & home-improvement. Carlos (the owner) and his team were the best contractors we’ve ever dealt with. They started by painting a few rooms & ceilings on the interior And then moved on to paint the entire exterior. The interior came out beautiful. They moved furniture, filled holes , took down and replaced curtains. The line from wall to ceiling and ceiling from baseboard is sharp and clean. On the exterior they power washed the whole house the first day. Next they came to replace whatever rotted trim we had. After that onto the painting and what a fantastic job they did. Communication —Carlos was in touch every day to check-in on progress and every day our house was left spotless. Price, Quality and Attention to detail these guys have it all !

Real Painting and its employees were easy to work with. From start to finish they worked diligently and while the weather didn't always cooperate, they came back to complete the job whenever the weather allowed them to do so. They were always polite and easy going, as we had to coordinate with multiple neighbors since our home is located in the city, to provide the workspace necessary. Carlos was prompt in responding to all communication and was very professional and accommodating, always doing the leg work and following pandemic guidelines. Carlos also provided the time to repaint the trim on our door since we didn't like the initial color we chose. We are very happy with our front porch and back deck and would hire them again, without hesitation. Thanks to the entire Real Painting team!

The team got to work right away and got the job done as quickly as possible. Their workmanship was excellent. I hope to use Carlos for any related jobs that come up in the future.

Carlos and his team were amazing! Carlos gave me a fair quote up front and explained what was and was not included in his price so we both knew what to expect. I had a lot of water damage on one portion of my house that was unseen during the original quote. Carlos stopped work showed me the issues and gave me a quote for that work that was fair. Carlos was on site every day to check the work his crew was doing, answer any questions I had and give me an update on progress. Not only would I recommend Carlos to friends and family, I already have him hired for another job I need done and will use him for any carpentry, painting or other house work I need done. He even gave me a great recommendation for gutter installation guys.

Carlos and his team did a great job with plowing my driveway/shoveling the steps last winter. They were punctual, the communication was great, and I would hire him again without any hesitation.

This team was very professional, worked quickly and fit themselves into our schedule beautifully. The work was gorgeous, many people have commented that they love our “new” cabinets, not realizing that they are in fact just refinished! Would highly recommend!

We recommend Carlos Real and his company, “Real Painting and Home Improvement”, without reservation for painting and home renovation projects. They do superior work for a reasonable price. Carlos is wonderful to work with. He develops a very realistic schedule and sticks to it. He is communicative, takes time to understand the needs of the homeowner, ensures that his crew is punctual and oversees the quality of their labors. The crew are polite, neat and very competent at their respective jobs. Last year we had “Real Painting” paint the exterior of our house. They were efficient, prompt and did an excellent job on our house and deck. We were so impressed that we hired them this year to renovate our guest bathroom. This consisted of tiling the tub area, putting on the fixtures, installing a vanity and toilet, and tiling the floor. We couldn’t be happier with the result! Thank you Real Painting and Home Improvement!

From start to finish I had a great experience with Carlos and all of the guys that worked for him. I previously had a relationship with him because he was the Contracted Painting Company for the new house that we moved into (Feb 2017) so I knew from that experience that all of his staff had fantastic attention to detail. I spoke with him about my project unaware that he also did renovations and was impressed with his level of knowledge and timeliness in getting back to me with any questions. He was available throughout the project and tried to keep things moving as quickly as possible which is not always easy when you're relying on plumbers, electricians, carpenters etc. We had a few hiccups along the way, like any significant project has, but Carlos always acted as quickly as possible to get them resolved and never just added additional cost without first having a conversation with me. We went from a finished, but unused, space in the basement to now having our own bar that most pub landlords would be proud of! All of this staff were extremely knowledgeable and easy to deal with. I would definitely work with him again on any future projects.

Carlos was highly professional, courteous, pleasure to deal with. I selected the color, they managed to partly do the job before I understood that the color was wrong. Carlos has given me good recommendations before the start, I did not follow them and then regretted as a result. I made a decision to repaint with the recommended paint, was glad I did that. Carlos was polite and very quickly did the repainting without any aggravations. Also, a small tile job in the bathrooms was done - tile strips one tile wide was put on both sides of the tubs in both bathrooms. It was well done. Carlos came with sufficient number of people in the team so they managed to complete the job in 3 days. I am very satisfied with the job he has done. As to the pricing, he is on the level of other painters I called. I put "B" above because a little lower pricing would be nicer.

The tile work was especially good. The tile people were very easy to work with. They were wonderful. He helped us design the shower stall. It was beautiful. Another man did the repair on the wall and the baseboard. Another person painted it and he did a good job. They did a good job. They were professional. They cleaned up the best they could.
