Some customers have kept Allan Painting for a decade or more: a March 2024 reviewer said the crew had painted their house inside and out since 2010, and an April 2025 reviewer said they had used Allan since moving to North Andover almost ten years earlier. The company describes itself as a family-run interior and exterior residential painter in North Andover, and says owner Allan Michael Marcus started the business in 1974 at seventeen in West Peabody and moved it to the Andover area in 1991, with Dan as foreman. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #165440, held by Allan Marcus, is active on the state registry. The BBB grades it A+. On Google it holds 4.9 stars from 74 ratings, and customers often mention foreman Dan by name. A May 2026 customer who collected several estimates wrote that Allan addressed their worries about rotted siding instead of patching it, kept them updated on added work and cost changes, and that Dan repaired the siding and the painting crew finished the house. An April 2026 review described Allan correcting a front door and entryway another painting company had left failing, and a March 2026 customer had Allan and Dan repair drywall and a ceiling in a bathroom and paint it. Older reviews add color help: several customers, in 2024 reviews, described Allan walking them through color choices, and a March 2024 customer had a third-floor attic space with horsehair plaster repair done. In March 2025, a 1-star reviewer who hired the company at an hourly rate for cabinet painting said the job went to an employee who had never painted cabinets, and that when they questioned the invoice the owner answered with insults and admitted adding two hours for supervising that employee. In June 2025, another 1-star reviewer who said they had 30+ years of experience as a painter said the crew painted over moisture after a night of rain and applied trim and body colors at the same time without dry time. It is not the low bid. An April 2024 reviewer said Allan's quote was the highest of three, and the prep work and hand painting were still holding up almost two years later.
Very professional, great service!
Very pleased with Allan Painting! Professional, courteous, fun people. Great crew, who were so polite and accommodating. We are extremely pleased with the quality of the work, especially as they squeezed this job in due to a tight timeline. Definitely recommend!
Great service and communication! We have used Allan twice recently and have been very pleased.
We recently had our home painted by Allan Painting and couldn’t be happier with the results. The crew was professional, punctual, and paid great attention to detail from start to finish. They took the time to properly prepare the surfaces, kept the work area clean, and delivered a beautiful finished product. Communication was excellent throughout the project, and they completed the work on schedule. Our home looks amazing, and we’ve received many compliments on the transformation. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality painting services and outstanding customer service.
I cannot say enough about Allan and his crew. It is truly so hard to find reliable companies to work on homes. I got SEVERAL estimates before hiring Allan's team. They amounts ranged greatly and I had a really hard time getting confident answers about repairing of siding in areas of concern for me. It's seems most companies just want to "patch" rot than fix. Well not Allan! I found we are VERY similar with our type A behaviors in that if we are gonna do something, do it the right way. He confidently addressed my areas of concerns and was very forthcoming in estimation of costs. He kept me up to date on any additional work that would be needed and cost changes. When doing a huge project on your home you have to have a contingency fund......especially on an older house. I could not appreciate Allan anymore than I do. He is extremely honest, responsive, takes time to explain things, and his team he has is beyond excellent. They arrived each day on time of not earlier, protected our landscape and deck, and were extremely considerate to all of us living in this house. They left each day and meticulously stored their equipment so it did not hinder us when being outside. Dan, foreman did an unbelievable job repairing our siding which is an extremely difficult material to deal with (as previous folks that have done work in past have stated to me), so I was beyond happy with the job he did. The painting crew were also meticulous. We could not be anymore pleased with how the house came out and would a million percent hire Allan again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a company that truly takes pride in their work and makes a customers happiness their number 1 priority!
