A F Bianchino Contracting Services

A F Bianchino Contracting Services is a one-man-and-a-helper Winthrop operation — customers all deal with Anthony, working out of 74 Quincy Ave — that HomeAdvisor lists for painting, roofing, carpentry, and electrical work. The profile claims 16 years of experience, free estimates, and no emergency service. The written record is genuinely good, but it's dated: 16 HomeAdvisor reviews averaging 4.8, all posted between December 2018 and October 2021. What ran through them was speed and straight dealing — a 2020 reviewer said the estimate came in exact and the response was quick; another that year described Anthony adding a new outlet and fixing a long-dead one in under two hours at the most competitive quote they'd gotten. A December 2018 customer with an open roof hole ahead of snow got him on short notice. The one wobble is a 3.5-star note from October 2021 saying he 'has to listen to the customer.' Two things worth knowing before calling. First, despite being listed under painting, what customers actually wrote about was electrical work — panels, outlets, switches — plus roof repairs and gutters; treat painting as a sideline until he shows you painted jobs. Second, HomeAdvisor lists a trade license number (205782, expiring June 2028) as the company's self-reported credential — that's the directory's listing, so ask to see the license itself. He reads like the right call for small electrical and roof-repair jobs where responsiveness matters. Since nothing has been written about the work since 2021, ask for a couple of recent local references to confirm the operation is still what those reviews describe.
