Eight reasons our prices are higher than average

Comprehensive insurance

We invest nearly $100,000 annually in liability, workers’ compensation, and umbrella coverage. If anything unexpected happens on your property, you’re fully protected — and so are we.

A real physical business

We have a physical Newton-based office, staffed from 7am-5pm, storage, and production workrooms that allow us to handle staff training, unique carpentry needs, cabinet spraying and  furniture refinishing, in-house

Rigorous hiring

Every applicant undergoes a thorough interview;, a background check for trustworthiness, illicit substance screening, a medical review and  respirator fit test before setting foot on your property.

Long-term careers, not gig work

Our longest-tenured painter has been with us for 26 years; we aim to be the last employer for skilled painters who want stable work, decent pay and a supportive, friendly company to work for. We offer full health insurance for employees and their families, a 401k match, dental, vision, 2 weeks of paid time off, and six paid holidays annually. Why? Because we only want to attract and hire the best painters, professionals who represent our brand with pride.

Professional appearance

Our crews arrive in full branded uniforms –  pants, shirts, vests, hats, and weather-appropriate outerwear. 

EPA RRP certification

Every painter on our team is EPA Renovation, Repair, and Painting certified; https://www.epa.gov/lead/lead-renovation-repair-and-painting-program

Lead-safe work practices are not optional in our operation; they are standard procedure on every job.

Continuous training

Each month we host industry experts to educate our team on product advancements, restoration techniques, safety improvements, and recognize outstanding members of our team. When something goes wrong, we lean in, we investigate, improve, and share what we learn. We will never quibble over a complaint!

Thirty + years in business

We have been operating in Greater Boston for three decades with no plans to slow down. Warranty issues are addressed because we will still be here. Our reputation depends on it.
