Adelfia Painting Ltd

Adelfia Painting Ltd works out of Newton and is run by Peter Vasiliadis, whom customers name in almost every account; a site manager called Giovanni runs crews on larger jobs. The hired-customer record is unusually long: 55 reviews dated 2014 to 2026, and reviewers themselves describe relationships going back further still, one writing in 2022 that they had used the company for almost 25 years, another in 2024 that Peter had worked for them for 16 years. The work that draws the most specific praise is old-house painting. A 2023 customer who bought a 120-year-old Belmont house untouched for fifty years had all the wallpaper stripped, every old plaster wall skim-coated, the trim sanded and everything painted, and noted the company was competitively priced against five bids and did not charge extra for replacing glass in five windows or a large ceiling patch. A 2022 customer with a 1907 house has had ceilings and walls skim-coated and repaired repeatedly, and says the difference it makes on lath-and-plaster walls is why they searched hard to find the right company. A 2016 customer was struck by how well original 1930s woodwork was matched and a former doorway concealed. Cabinet work is the other repeated theme. A 2023 Houzz reviewer described the crew setting up a spray booth on site and getting a finish on kitchen cabinetry they judged better than the original factory finish; a 2024 customer had cabinets sprayed in place with no dust or debris; 2025, 2022 and 2021 customers all describe cabinet refinishing that made kitchens look new. Process comes up constantly: full floor protection and masking, crews arriving when promised, sites cleaned each evening so rooms stay usable, and estimates that hold. A 2024 customer was explicit about the trade-off, writing that the price was somewhat higher than their previous painter but the work was far better. A 2026 customer had exterior doors, thresholds, a balcony and stair risers prepped and refinished on a tight pre-event deadline. A 2018 customer whose home had just had blown-in insulation had all the patch holes filled and 2,000 square feet of exterior repainted in three days. One thing to raise before signing. The Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration on record in the state registry under the name Adelfia Painting, number 164979, is shown as expired, with an expiry date of 13 March 2018. That registration is what gives a homeowner access to the state Guaranty Fund on residential work, so ask directly about current registration status and insurance, and get the answer in writing.
