Acuarela Painting and Services

Three reviews, all written in the same month — April 2020 — are the entire written history of this Winthrop painting company. They average 4.7 on HomeAdvisor, which also carries an Approved badge and lists painting and powerwashing as the work on offer. BuildZoom names Francisco Angulo as the owner. One of those three accounts actually says something. A homeowner writing in April 2020 described him handling the prep work himself, coming in as the cheapest of the estimates they had collected, and staying on their job rather than peeling off to other sites mid-week; they added that a language barrier was worked around by writing instructions down. The company states se habla espanol. The other two comments from that month are a sentence each. The registration is what to sort out before calling. BuildZoom lists Massachusetts licence #207902 for the company, reports it as expired since March 2025, and says the state's Consumer Affairs records showed it cancelled at some point — that is BuildZoom's account rather than a registry check, and the same page labels that one number both a painter's licence and a home improvement contractor registration. Massachusetts exempts interior-painting-only contractors from HIC registration, so this may not be a requirement they are missing; a registration that existed and lapsed is still a different fact from never having needed one. Two Winthrop addresses circulate — 435 Shirley Street on BuildZoom, 93 Locus Street on HomeAdvisor — and the stated tenure moves too: six years in one field, 15-plus in the blurb beside it. For a straightforward interior or exterior job in Winthrop this is a plausible small shop with a warm, if old, set of accounts behind it. Ask for addresses from the past year, confirm the registration yourself with Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation, and establish which address and phone number are current before any deposit.
