American Painting & Home Improvement, based in Marlborough, says on Thumbtack that it's been doing this 23 years. Reinaldo Gouveia is the name that comes up in every review on file, whatever the job. Cabinet work is where the detail runs deepest. A 2021 review walks through a multi-day process for repainting kitchen cabinets, with the doors pulled and sprayed off-site before being reinstalled over three visits, and a 2022 review describes the same care applied to cabinets cracked by kitchen humidity, plus a cracked fireplace mantle and a gas fireplace screen replaced along the way. A 2020 review covers a bigger job: a family-room remodel that tore out built-in cabinets, patched and painted the walls, ceilings and doors, added texture, and put in new hardwood floors. A more recent review, from June 2026, describes full interior and exterior house painting plus some carpentry. One 2020 account stands out for a different reason: the crew worked quickly and for less than competing bids, but the reviewer had to supply their own paint and moulding, worth asking about before booking since it's the only account on file that raises it. That same 2020 remodel review also describes Reinaldo and his partner fixing a subcontracted electrician's mistake on their own time after the job was already finished. Thumbtack lists the business at 4.9 stars from 37 ratings and named it a Top Pro in 2021 and 2022, and Gouveia has completed Thumbtack's background check. The five reviews quoted here run from 2020 to 2026, all on Thumbtack, a reasonable call for cabinet refinishing or a painting job with some carpentry or demolition attached, but worth confirming up front who is supplying materials.

American painting did an amazing job at my house! He painted the inside and outside of the house and also completed some carpentry work. Great quality, attention to detail, and very professional. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for excellent workmanship. Thank you, Reinaldo! 👍🏡🎨🔨
I’m beyond happy with American Painting Plus. It took me a while to find the right team for the projects at my house and when I met Reinaldo and he walked me through the process and gave me a quote - it was a perfect match. My kitchen cabinets paint cracked from (what I believe) humidifier being in the kitchen area. The team took the cabinets down and did amazing job with the restoration plus came back to install and finish up what they couldn’t remove. They also restored our cracked fireplace mantle and replaced a gas fireplace screen…My house looks 10 times better now and I’m extremely happy. I’ve wanted to do these projects for over a year…What’s very important (and I’ve encountered this as an issue with many contractors before) - the level of responsiveness was great, they came when they said they would, the quote was by far more adequate than others I have spoken to, they required minimum support from me. Will definitely be using their services again. Highly recommend!
I read some of the other reviews here and decided to reach out to them. And I'm happy to say, I was not disappointed! Right off the bat, having received a few estimates for the job prior, I was surprised with how reasonable their estimate was. Rei and his team did an awesome job with repainting my kitchen cabinets. On the first day they took the doors and drawer faces off to take off site to spray paint at their shop. Then came back the next day to clean and prime the remaining parts of the cabinets. A couple days later they came back, painted two coats on the cabinets, and re-installed the painted doors and drawer faces. Over the course of just three visits, they completed the job! They always arrived on time and worked fast. The first visit seemed like it was not longer than an hour, the second was probably around two hours and the third visit was just under five hours. Obviously most of the time consuming work was done off site at their shop painting all the doors & drawers.
We recently moved into a house and need to remodel our family room. Reinaldo and his partner/teams did a fantastic job: please see attached before vs. after pictures. They demolished four huge built-in cabinets on the two walls, patched up and painted walls/ceilings/doors/fireplace trims, created textures on walls, changed plugs/lights, installed new hardwood floors and polished/painted them. We are beyond words to describe how satisfied we are with their amazing jobs and extremely warm personalities. Reinaldo is not only good at what he does, he is also a great person who would always go beyond his job scope to make my home perfect. He and his partner are astonishingly professional and punctual. The only minor problem we encountered in this remodeling was the electrician: we didn’t think the room needed any electrician work so it was not included in the original estimate. After demolishing the entire wall of cabinets, we realized the plugs hidden inside didn’t work so Reinaldo contacted an electrician last minute for us. The guy did a lousy job with the plugs (two didn’t end up working and one works but half hanging outside of the wall) and quoted a ridiculous amount for an easy ten min job. We paid but were prepared to hire another one later. However, Reinaldo’s partner was so helpful and not only fixed these half hanging plugs, but also installed the smart switches for free for us after he found out the electrician’s mistakes a few days later. By then the entire job finished and we already paid Reinaldo. Yet they went beyond what they needed to and fixed this for us. We really appreciate their nice gestures. Last but not the least, Reinaldo’s pricing is very reasonable and we definitely think we got much more than what we paid for. We already booked his team for another remodeling job for our study in Feb. We would like to highly recommend Reinaldo’s team for any house project you need!
Work was done quickly and efficiently and the cost was well below that of other bids. We did have to supply paint and moulding, which was no problem, although a painting company should have brought these.
