Fine

They are outstanding.

Everything they did was perfect.

The quality of the job was very good. There were many things that made it even better. They handled replacing the rotted shutters at the last minute, and even replaced a broken storm window (including ordering the glass). They took off their shoes before coming in to remove storms, too. But I had at least one negative exchange with the owner, who was having a very bad day and took it out on me. He apologized, but it left a bad taste in my mouth. They also did not replace most of the storms, but left that to us. The crew was less detail-oriented than the owner too, but that wasn't a real problem. All we had to do was point out flaws and the problem was rectified within a relatively timely manner.

Work was timely, responsive and as advertised. Painters were thorough, polite and quiet (we have a pre-school child who napped quite easily through the work). Contractor appeared at several points over the course of the job to ensure quality and see how we liked the work. Ed was very patient and flexible as we explored alternate color schemes and ideas. Proposal was very detailed and included several priced options. We were very satisfied. Price was excellent for the quality of work performed. We plan to have them return to paint the outside of our house next spring.

Very pleased. I had three vendors (all from Angie's List) come and quote the project and Ed was the most knowledgeable and had the best price. Ed and his crew were friendly and professional and did a great job on our two porches. We were very pleased and would use them again for future projects.

Job 1: Ed and his team were friendly, very clean, professional and prompt. They even left their shoes at the door. The walls looked fantastic and the trim and edges were very straight. They did a great job on patching and I would highly recommend them. Best of all their pricing was in line with our budget and it didn't break our bank or give us sticker shock. Job 2: Ed and the Beacon team were always on time and completed the project ahead of schedule. Our stairwell and kitchen are quite old and needed a more up to date look. Beacon Painting did a great job of patching our plaster walls and overall did a very neat job. For the price and quality, we'd highly recommend Beacon Painting, especially if your looking to update your kitchen through paint rather then entire renovation like we thought we might have to do. This was much better and at a great price.

PROMPT CALL BACK, WORK WAS COMPLETED BY A THOUGHTFUL CREW. ED CAME BY FREQUENTLY TO CHECK ON THE PROGRESS OF THE WORK.

ED WAS VERY PROMPT IN RETURNING MY INITIAL PHONE CALL, AND SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT FOR AN ESTIMATE. HE CAME TO OUR HOUSE TO EVALUATE THE SPACE, WHICH INCLUDED A HIGH PITCHED CEILING (THAT BEING NEW CONSTRUCTION ON AN OLD HOUSE) OF APPROXIMATELY 12', AND INCLUDING 2 INSET SKYLIGHTS. HIS ESTIMATE WAS EXTREMELY THOROUGH, DETAILING EXACTLY EVERY STEP OF WORK TO BE PERFORMED. HE PROVIDED AN EXTENSIVE COLOR WHEEL FROM WHICH TO CHOOSE. THE JOB WAS TWO COLORS, INCLUDING A CHAIR RAIL AND WAINSCOTING. THE SPACE IS VERY AWKWARD, DUE TO THE HIGH PITCH. THE MEN WHO DID THE WORK WERE EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL, AND TOOK EVERY PRECAUTION TO BE RESPECTFUL TO THE REST OF OUR HOUSE (I.E. REMOVING SHOES TO WALK TO THE BATHROOM!). THE KITCHEN WAS WELL SEALED TO NOT EXPOSE THE REST OF THE HOUSE TO ANY DUST. THE CABINETS WERE WELL PROTECTED. THE JOB TURNED OUT BEAUTIFULLY, AND WE ARE EXTREMELY PLEASED TO FINALLY HAVE A KITCHEN WORTH SHOWING OFF! WE WOULD DEFINITELY HIRE ED NORRIS AND BEACON PAINTING

ED HAD ALREADY COMPLETED AN EXCELLENT INTERIOR JOB FOR US LAST YEAR, AND WE ASKED HIM TO GIVE US AN ESTIMATE ON THE EXTERIOR PROJECT. HE SPENT AN HOUR EVALUATING THE CONDITION AND SIZE OF THE HOUSE, NOTING THE AWKWARD ANGLES AND POSITIONING OF PROPERTY BORDERS WITH NEIGHBORS. HIS ESTIMATE WAS EXTREMELY THOROUGH AND DETAILED. THE PROJECT BEGAN ON TIME, AS PROPOSED, AND THE TWO YOUNG MEN WHO DID THE WORK WERE EXCEPTIONALLY PROFESSIONAL, THOROUGH, AND COURTEOUS. THEY COMPLETED THE WORK ON A SATURDAY, INSTEAD OF WAITING UNTIL THE NEXT WEEK, SINCE THAT DAY HAD PROVIDED THE BEST WEATHER OF THE WEEK. A NEIGHBOR WHO WAS HOME ALL DAY DURING THE WEEK COMMENTED TO ME ON HOW PROFESSIONAL THE PAINTERS WERE, AND HOW IMPRESSED HE WAS WATCHING THEM WORK. A CONTRACTOR IN THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR ALSO GAVE PRAISE TO THEIR DILIGENCE. ED IS VERY GOOD ABOUT MAINTAINING CONTACT BEFORE, DURING AND TO FOLLOW UP ON THE PROJECT. WE WOULD DEFINITELY HIRE BEACON PAINTING AGAIN, WITHOUT HESITATION.

THE PAINTING CREW ARRIVED PROMPTLY AND WORKED 12 HOUR DAYS TO COMPLETE A BEAUTIFUL JOB IN 6 WORK DAYS. THE PREP WORK ON OUR 100+ HOUSE WAS THOROUGH, THE PAINTING CAREFUL AND NEAT. THE WORKERS HAD TO COORDINATE WITH A LANDSCAPE CREW THAT ARRIVED CONCURRENTLY (NOT PLANNED!) AND THEY DID IT GRACIOUSLY. THE WORK WAS SO WELL DONE AND THE WORKERS SO PLEASANT (NO MUSIC!) THAT 2 NEIGHBORS HAVE CALLED FOR ESTIMATES. ED CAME BY AT LEAST DAILY TO CHECK ON THINGS AND SEE THAT ALL WAS GOING WELL. I CAN'T RECOMMEND THEM TOO HIGHLY.

MR. NORRIS AND HIS PAINTERS DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB PAINTING MY HOUSE. HE GAVE US A VERY DETAILED ESTIMATE AND COMPLETELY DELIVERED ALL HE COMMITTED TO, HOWEVER, HE WAS NOT THE LOWEST BIDDER FOR THE JOB. THE LOWEST BIDDER WAS 25% LESS, BUT GAVE US A VERY BRIEF ESTIMATE AND EXCLUDED MANY DETAILS.

HE WAS VERY NEGATIVE AND MADE EVERYTHING SEEM MUCH MORE COMPLICATED AND HARDER THAN IT NEEDED TO BE. THERE WERE SO MANY WEIRD THINGS ABOUT THE WAY HE BEHAVED THAT I DISMISSED HIM AND DIDN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH HIM. HE WANTED TO DO AN IN DEPTH STUDY OF WHAT WAS NEEDED AND IT WAS TOTALLY OUT OF LINE. HE WAS OFFENDED THAT I DIDN'T HAVE AN ENTIRE HOUR TO DEVOTE TO HIS ESTIMATE PROCESS. I'VE HAD OTHER PEOPLE COME GIVE ME ESTIMATES AND IT TOOK 10 MINUTES. IT WAS VERY ODD.

HIS CREW WAS NEAT AND DID AN AMAZING JOB PREPPING THE SITE AND KEEPING IT CLEAN. ED KNEW A LOT ABOUT PAINT AND WAS VERY HELPFUL AND KNOWLEDGEABLE. WE HAD NEVER USED A PROFESSIONAL PAINTER BEFORE AND WOULD USE BEACON PAINTING AGAIN. BOTH THE OWNER AND HIS CREW WERE VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND PLEASANT.

ED IS VERY PROFESSIONAL, THOUGHTFUL, THOROUGH AND RESPONSIVE. HE DOES A GREAT JOB OF COORDINATING HIS WORK CREWS. YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT HE IS NOT ON-SITE CONTINUOUSLY THROUGH THE JOB, BUT IN OUR CASE HE VISITED AT LEAST EVERY OTHER DAY.

I ALSO CHOSE BEACON BECAUSE THE COMPANY'S WORKERS ARE INSURED THROUGH WORKERS COMPENSATION. THEY WEATHER PLAYED HAVOC WITH THE JOBS SCHEDULE, BUT EVEN THOUGH HIS CREW ENDED UP WORKING THROUGH AN ENTIRE WEEKEND. I WAS CHARGED NO MORE THAN HIS ORIGINAL AND VERY COMPLETE ESTIMATE. THE CREWS TRAVELED FROM SOMERVILLE AND ARRIVED VERY EARLY EACH MORNING. THEY DEFINITELY KNEW WHAT TO DO IN ORDER TO DEAL WITH THE DAMP CONDITIONS AND PROCEEDED WITH CARE. THE PAINTING JOB WAS VERY HIGH QUALITY AND I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS FIRM TO ANYONE TO ENSURE THAT THE PAINT LASTS.

WORKERS ARE NICE, BUT SPEAK VERY LITTLE ENGLISH. NOT A PROBLEM, IN GENERAL, BUT DIFFICULT TO COMMUNICATE. MUST SUPERVISE TO MAKE SURE SURFACES ARE PROPERLY PREPARED. THINGS WENT WELL OVERALL, BUT THIS WAS PRIMARILY DUE TO LOWERED EXPECTATIONS ON OUR PART. QUALITY OF JOB WAS OKAY.

ABSOLUTELY METICULOUS, WE ARE HIRING HIM TO DO ANOTHER HOUSE

WOULD USE THEM AGAIN. THEY DID A GREAT JOB.

VERY NICE CREW! TOOK THE TIME TO PROPERLY PREPARE ALL SURFACES AND DID A WONDERFUL JOB!

THEY WERE THERE ON TIME. TOOK THE TIME TO PROPERLY PREPARE ALL SURFACES. VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF PAINTS YOU CAN USE TOGETHER. CREW WAS VERY POLITE, FRIENDLY, AND COURTEOUS.
