Acuarela Painting and Services Corporation

Acuarela Painting and Services Corporation is a small Winthrop painting outfit — owner Francisco Angulo, working out of a Shirley Street address — and its whole written history is three short reviews posted in a single month, April 2020. The most detailed of them is the useful one. That customer wrote that he did more than expected, handled the prep himself, came in as the most budget-friendly of the estimates they collected, and stayed on the job instead of disappearing to other sites; they also mentioned a language barrier that they worked around by writing instructions down, and said they planned to hire him again. The other two are one-liners saying the work has been good. The licensing picture needs a question put to it. BuildZoom lists Massachusetts registration #207902 for the company — recorded as a painter registration that expired 03-08-2025 and re-checked as expired in March 2026 — and shows the same number as an inactive home improvement contractor registration it says was cancelled at some point. Massachusetts exempts interior-painting-only work from HIC registration, but this company advertises exterior and commercial work too, so a lapsed registration is worth clearing up before signing anything. HomeAdvisor lists painting and powerwashing, interior and exterior, residential and commercial, with free estimates and Spanish spoken. Its own experience figures don't agree — 6 years in the highlights, 15+ in the company's write-up. For a straightforward interior repaint this is a plausible small crew with a friendly, if dated, record. Ask for the current registration number and recent references, since nothing published here describes work done in the last five years.
