Boston Painting Services Inc.

Very pleased with the quality of work and professionalism of Cassio's team. Prep work was top notch with sanding, scraping, patching, etc. Kitchen cabinets are especially tricky. I was worried that the paint wouldn't adhere correctly or the finish wouldn't look right. They ended up hand painting the cabinets rather than spray painting due to the wood grain and concern that the spray wouldn't make it's way deep enough into the grain. The finished product is absolutely beautiful! The ceiling had some spots and chipped paint. The ceiling now looks brand new because of the fantastic prep work of scraping, sanding, patching, etc. The project took 2 days longer than expected, I think because of the complexity of the paint job, but I was not charged extra for this time. The team was here early in the morning (waiting outside in the van) and was ready to go the minute we left the house for work. It was nice that they were considerate about not being in our way while we were getting ready for our day, but also making maximum use out of the time. When they needed to be sanding, they put up plastic to prevent the dust from getting throughout the rest of the house. They cleaned up everything at the end of the day very nicely. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to a friend, and will probably use them again on another project (exterior painting). They are really top notch.

The 'take home' for Angie's members is: Cassio Sousa provides excellent service and his painting is of the highest quality - and I'm obsessive about it. This is probably the 4th review I have written - and my experience of several years has been consistent. Given that I knew Cassio, I discussed the project in detail - and left him alone with his men for 2 weeks while I was away. I knew that he might not have time to complete 2 of the bedrooms - and for that reason did not remove clothing, books and other items. I was a little nervous when I returned given that I had been away. No need to have been - not only was the work of the highest caliber, the house was put back, clean and ALL the work had been completed. The kitchen was a complicated job. There was a great deal of detail work required: Glass paneled cabinets, shelving in inaccessible places, cup hooks to be removed and replaced, elaborate radiator covers and a kitchen floor that had just been refinished that I did not want damaged. The kitchen project was smashing. We used high gloss enamel on all the wood surfaces and matte finish on the walls. The preparation - always the most important element was thoroughly done. The masking of areas was meticulous. Cassio showed me a video of his spray painting all the woodwork and the final finish is magnificent. And ---- the floors emerged unharmed!!! The rest of the work, less detail oriented was all done with the same high quality. And, as usually happens, the unpainted areas look 'old' and we added projects while he was still there. I understood then how he was delayed a week in starting our project and was probably delayed a week in starting the next. He has been responsive to any 'imperfections' and touch ups and his employees are a pleasure to have in the house. No blaring music, no cigarette smoking, professional, respectful, pleasant to have around, pleased to help move furniture and most important, CLEANED UP each day before leaving. So, bottom line: IF YOU WANT EXCELLENT WORK, FAIR PRICES KNOWING THAT THE WORK WILL BE DONE TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS - Cassio is your person.

Since we had many things that we wanted done (this part being step 1), Cassio wrote out a detailed free estimate for each phase of renovation. Cassio and his team removed all of our wooden trim (chair rail, trim around door frames and windows, and baseboards) and demolished the textured walls in our living room. They cleaned up well afterward, keeping all of our old trim bundled together in our garage in case we would need to reuse it. They even did an extra kindness without asking, which was to remove all of our insulation and bag it up in the garage to make it easier for new wiring to be put in (which they knew to be our next step in our remodeling project). Unfortunately, that removal made some marks on the ceiling, but Cassio assured us that it would be perfect after the painting later, and he was true to his word. When the project was done, he emailed us photos of how it looked.

When we had time deadlines, Boston Painting Service always came through to get our work done on time despite their busy schedule with many other clients. In Phase 2 of our remodeling project, Cassio and the rest of the BPS team worked very hard to put our insulation back onto our empty walls, install new sheetrock in our living room, apply joint compound tape, sand, and prime the new walls. The new walls looked beautiful! Cassio even spent a few extra hours unscrewing and adjusting all of the electrical boxes, outlets, etc. to make it the correct distance to be flush with the walls (since the former walls had thin paneling behind it, while the new walls were much thicker drywall), which was extra work that had not been accounted for in his original estimate. When we complained that the joint compound tape at the top of the new walls went onto the ceiling and looked terrible to us, Cassio promised us that it would all look perfect after all of the coats of priming and painting were completed in the next phase (which was true! His team even added little bits of texture to that part of the ceiling later to match the rest of the ceiling.) Unlike some contractors, Cassio and BPS are very trustworthy. They work hard and care about meeting all of our needs. We will definitely employ them for the rest of our projects.

For the last phase of our renovation, the carpenters from Boston Painting Service (Santiago and Nick?) ripped out our 5 former door frames carefully, hung 3 newly stained doors, cut and installed our stained trim molding around all 6 doorways and 2 windows, cut and installed our stained baseboards, and boxed in our beams with our stained wooden planks and trim molding. We were extremely particular about how we wanted it done, with step-by-step instructions and a picture for the order of installation of wood around the beams to achieve the look we were going for. Unfortunately, it did not go in that order from the beginning, so my husband came home from work to supervise, and he asked them to take down the first plank and put it in the requested order, which they did without complaint. They were very patient with our demands and created a beautiful look that we were very happy with. When ripping out one of the door frames and putting in a new door had caused 2 cracks in the paint to the corners around it, Cassio came to do touch-ups to the paint. After all outlet and light switch covers had been replaced on our new walls, we found one hole for the triple light switch had been made too large when the walls had been installed (so that the cover was not blocking it, with a visible hole of 1.5 x 4? beside it). Cassio patched it up well, dried it, and repainted that area so that you can?t tell that there had ever been a hole. When one of our curtain rod clasps was missing from the wood trim, Cassio gave us a bunch of ones that had been left by former clients to see if they would work for us. All of the woodwork done by the carpenters and painting done by Cassio and his team were done meticulously for a flawless end product! They were hardworking, caring, considerate, patient, and affordable ($4000-5000 for the full renovation / 4 stages of removing and replacing walls, painting, putting in doors, and installing all woodwork). Cassio always answered texts to keep clear communication and cleaned up everything. We recommend Boston Painting Service highly.

Our living room ceiling and walls were prepped and painted with 2 finish coats of our chosen colors. It looked gorgeous when they were done, with perfectly straight lines of paint and no splatter to other areas. Cassio and the rest of the BPS team had taken the time and effort with each phase of our renovation to protect our newly refinished wood floors and to clean up as good as they had found it, even mopping the wooden floor after vacuuming!

Cassio is excellent an so was all his crew. Very neat, polite, on time, and the work done was great. They are now MY PAINTERS for all jobs in the future.

The schedule for this work was very tight. Due to the amount of work being done, we had to vacate the rental unit for one month. The apartment had to be re-occupied on the first day of August, so everything, including the painting, had to be completed, and the apartment clean so the tenant could move in on time. The general contractor's work took a good 3 weeks, so Cassio had less than a week to completely repaint the first floor apartment. The partial painting of our unit and the exterior painting was done afterward since we did not have to vacate our unit. Cassio could not have been more cooperative and efficient in the performance of his work. He was careful to coordinate with the general contractor and began his painting work the day the contractor told him he could start. He put whatever manpower on the job he needed to finish on time. His crew worked diligently and into the night on a couple days to be sure to finish on time. The quality of the work was excellent. There were decisions that had to be made while the job was in progress, and a bit of extra work we added along the way. Cassio was always available and generous with his time and attention to our needs and preferences. I followed his suggestions and all of them turned out to be good. Cassio went above and beyond my expectations to do a good job on time. He is clearly a first-rate manager and painter who shows a strong commitment to doing good work and making sure the client is satisfied, and I would not hesitate to hire him again.

Cassio and his team are incredibly hard working, professional and great to work with. They also pride themselves in doing high quality work and go out of their way to make sure the work is done on time, on budget and looks great. We had a short window and they worked long hours and weekends to make sure they finished the project, did great clean up and made sure they addressed all our requirements. I would highly recommend Cassio and his team for any painting project.

fine, my only contact was a phone call, see above

We hired Boston Painting Services in order to repair, restore and paint our kitchen, living room and basement areas due to damage that was done from ice dams this past winter. He also sanded, cleaned and polyurethaned our kitchen cabinets Our situation was such that part of our kitchen was gutted with no walls and ceiling, part of skylight area was missing and part of the ceiling in our basement needed to be replaced. Cassio, the owner returned my phone call right away and came by to give me an estimate. He was able to schedule us right away and coordinate with our floor contractor in order for us not to waste any time. We really appreciated how he was able to accommodate us during their incredibly busy season. Santiago, Cassio?s worker was punctual, conscientious, hardworking and a perfectionist. We are just so happy with all the work and highly recommend Boston Painting Services.

All painting was completed in less than 2 weeks. The estimate was accurate and fair and included all the paint and labor.

Cassio and his team was fantastic from start to finish. He is an excellent communicator, checking in frequently to make sure we were aware of all timelines and that he understood our expectations completely. Our condo is an older unit that required much scraping and sanding of walls, window trims, radiators, and Cassio showed the utmost of patience with each surface. He uses top quality materials, takes care to cover all surfaces, and the clean up was also very complete. I wish I could give him an A+ for the work he did. I will definitely use him again.

Cassio performed a follow up job for me since I was so impressed with his previous job. It was great. I had to wait for an appointment but it was worth it. This job was straightforward and uneventful and fast. The crew worked dilgently for three days and performed quick touch up in extra areas for a very reasonable price as well. I am very satisfied with their work - it is consistent and the end result looks great. They had to do bannisters, stairs, hallway and bathroom along with bedrooms. There was some detail invovled. It is great to see over the course of their engagement how well they work together. It can pay off when the workers know what you expect not just the owners. Well run company I believe.

Cassio and his team were amazing to work with. They got the job done efficiently and professionally. They kept to our deadline despite some difficult to remove wallpaper, and me changing a color in one of the rooms. I would work with them again in a heartbeat and recommend them highly.

We bought a 2 bedroom condo and wanted new paint on walls, ceilings, trims. There were holes and cracks that needed plastering. Cassio was excellent. He replies very quickly to schedule an appointment, to provide the quote, to provide updates. No need to chase him for answers, which we really appreciated. Cassio's team worked before we moved in. It took a little bit more than a week - as we were flexible in the moving date. They protected all the floors and our items very well. They did an excellent job with very high attention to details. Cracks were plastered. Paint on ceilings, walls, trims look really flawless. We're very pleased with Boston Printing Services, Inc. Cassio was very professional, personable, courteous and punctual in all our exchanges. Definitely will work with Cassio again!

Cassio stayed in touch via phone and email, and did a good job of staying coordinating with the installers of our new flooring in the same rooms in which his crew were painting. He and his crew were always on time and courteous, and all post-demolition and construction refuse was removed. After the contracted work was finished, Cassio generously offered to return at no charge and restain the living room baseboards because of some scuffs which occurred during the carpet removal by the floor crew. When he was done the living room was perfect.

Didn't like the task to hire out and repair old wallpaper on a very large (20 by 40 room)- having seen mistakes manifest itself over the years with the wallpaper. We were very skittish as to how to remedy the situation. I was told by people that the job was extensive and had risks in the outcome. We were very fortunate to come across Boston Painting Services. Seeing that this job was more involved I called his references twice during the job to ensure they were accurate. Cassio was prompt at all times, very professional in his approach - the timeframe for completion was accurate along with very good pricing. I watched his crew work through the job and they were very professional as well. The removal of the molding and baseboard was done with care along with necessary repair as needed and the caulking and repair of the walls was very high quality. In some cases I saw them go back over certain areas (without prompting) twice to ensure a high quality smoothness. Great attention to detail - they also were great with providing samples for paints and allowing us to preview results. The indicated to us in the beginning many possible issues- the intersections of walls were more difficult, the trim on the french doors, and bookcase trim issues. All of the results were great - in fact they exceeded our expectations. I know there are other very good painters out there but we enjoyed their responsiveness, attention to detail, cleaning up and their professional approach for assessing the project length and cost and Cassio were very personable and flexible - allowing us to change start date and along with design changes. One of those good jobs with a happy customer - very fortunate to find them.

Cassio's quote was a little pricier than the lowest bid, but I went ahead with him because he demonstrated a remarkable attention to detail. He was very responsive and courteous, and also very thorough with his explanation of the work to be done. What impressed me the most was his handling of the reinstallation of a closet door. My flooring contractor did not realize that the door trim no longer fits when they installed new flooring in the laundry closet, and I found out too late when Cassio tried to put it back after the paint job. Cassio immediately recommended a carpenter to fix the issue. He brought him on site to have it fixed in less than an hour for a reasonable price. Saved me the effort of going through multiple carpenters for bids. I would definitely hire him again.

We had a very complicated renovation of an entire house which meant working around electricians, carpenters, plumbers and various handymen. Due to real time re-evaluation of the plans for the job, several changes were made to the layout of the kitchen and the job overall. Cassio was very flexible in terms of scheduling and was always professional, courteous and very responsive to texts, emails and calls throughout the entire process. His recommendations worked out and the cost was in line with his estimate. One very good sign is that the other contractors all commented on the quality of the paint job. The entire renovation (complete re-wiring, re-plumbing, various fixes, sheet rock, plaster and paint) took a little over two months and there were a few stops and starts along the way, but thanks to Cassio's understanding of the situation, there were no problems as a result. We kept most of the old (100+ year old) moulding, which meant a great deal of prep work but it all turned out great. We initially started with a plan to strip the old wallpaper but it was very labor intensive and the original plaster hadn?t held up as well as I thought it might have. At Cassio?s suggestion ? and for a very reasonable price ? we decided to sheet rock the entire house in 3/8 and skim coat. His crew, including the plasterer that he subbed out, did a very quick and professional job and did quite well at preserving the original moulding. I would definitely bring him back for more work and have already recommend him to others.

Firstly, this review is long overdue, so apologies! It went very well. Cassio was unable to make our initial agreed start date and it was getting close to Christmas, so we were a bit worried, but he certainly made up for it and performed some extra work with no uptick on the cost (drywall repair at a light switch and repair/paint on other walls that were not originally agreed to.) His crew did a great job and cleaned up after themselves.

Cassio and his guys we great. They arrived exactly when they said they were going to and were very professional. They cleaned the house at the end of each day and really contained their work well. We had a minor miscommunication and part of the fence on the opposite side of the house was not part of the scope of Cassio's quote, though we thought it was. He was very apologetic and sincere and added the fence at cost. When we did the walk through there were no spots to do over or other notes, they were that meticulous. We had some issues with the ceiling paint in the bathroom bubbling, due to the material of the ceiling. Cassio came back twice to repair the ceiling and we really appreciated the commitment he had to doing the job well. I would hire Cassio again if we needed a painter and would quickly and highly recommend him to anyone interested.

He was very nice and accomodating but ultimately I am not in need of painting at this time.

We have a small room off the rear of the house that hasn't been used in years. I removed the wallpaper and spackled the walls and most of the trim. I purchased all the supplies (Benjamin Moore) and they are here on site. Cost to complete the spackling and paint the room was estimated at $800. I hate to paint but I thought this was high and will complete the work myself. Maybe I'm just out of touch with current prices.

I purchased the 40 hrs of painting deal and was contacted within 48 hrs to schedule the job. Cassio and his crew were excellent. The work I needed to get done was going to take longer than the 40 hrs and Cassio was able to accommodate me give a great rate on the extra work. They did a wonderful job repairing the walls as we had previously removed very old wallpaper and the walls were a mess. They were very neat and professional. I would absolutely recommend them to friends and family.
