A1 Painters

A1 Painters, based in Hyannis, is hired across Cape Cod for painting, power washing, carpentry and deck work. The Massachusetts license registry lists the company's active Home Improvement Contractor registration (HIC 205745) under Michael Kildevaeld, doing business as A1 Painters, and the Better Business Bureau carries the same services description — residential and commercial painting, interior and exterior painting, power washing, and carpentry — alongside an A+ grade. Homeowners across Google, Thumbtack, Angi and HomeAdvisor describe a consistent pattern of hands-on, detail-oriented work. One reviewer credited the team with a full renovation of three bathrooms and restoring two decks, calling the owner "a master at his craft and a perfectionist." Another recounted a badly deteriorating deck floor and railing rebuilt over several days of sanding before staining, alongside window trim, a garage door repair and siding painting — describing it as "a good deal of work done after a great prep job." Power washing comes up repeatedly too: reviewers describe chipped, peeling bulkheads and decks restored to look "better than new," and a 2024 review described the crew removing old clapboard and re-siding a house front with cedar. The rating picture is consistent across platforms for a business this size: 5 stars from 8 ratings on Google, 4.8 from 49 on both Angi and HomeAdvisor, and 5.0 from 8 on Thumbtack, with the same names and details recurring rather than one glowing outlier. Reviewers repeatedly mention same-day quotes and quick scheduling, and no pricing complaints appear anywhere in the record — several reviewers instead called the pricing fair or meticulous for the work delivered. Angi and HomeAdvisor list the business under its legal name, Proud Painters, Inc., rather than A1 Painters; the license registry confirms it's the same company operating under both names, so that's a naming quirk to expect when checking references, not a red flag. For a large exterior or remodeling project, it's worth asking about current crew availability and a written scope, since the reviewed jobs range from small power-washing visits to multi-week rebuilds. This is a well-documented, consistently praised painting and carpentry outfit with an active, verified license and no negative signal anywhere in the record.
