Highlights
- Cabinet specialists — painted cabinets still look new after 5+ years
- Handles historic homes — patient, detailed exterior repaint of a 1935 house
- Trusted by other pros — a contractor subcontracted them for cabinet refacing
- Not the cheapest — one reviewer said their quote wasn't the lowest
Ask a handful of Alpha Painting's customers how long they've used the company and the answers run past a decade — 10, 15, even 20-plus years, for the exterior, interior and decks of the same houses. It's a Boxford family shop: Socrates Stamateas has run it as president since 1998 alongside co-founder Veneti Stamateas, building on an operation the Stamateas family started in 1987. Today it covers the North Shore from Andover to Newburyport with interior, exterior, commercial and cabinet painting plus deck and wood restoration. Cabinets are where this crew's specifics get the most striking. A recent review says cabinets Alpha painted more than five years earlier still look brand new; in a 2022 review, another customer described transforming 16-year-old maple cabinets into a "like-new white." In a January 2026 review, a kitchen renovator described Alpha handling the technical side of a cabinetry job built by others — sanding, de-glossing, priming, then two coats of Italian waterborne lacquer — and a contractor working under another company name described subcontracting Alpha for a kitchen refacing job that made his own work "look great." The full-house jobs read the same way. In a 2024 review, a homeowner described a full exterior repaint of a 1935 house, praising a detailed initial estimate and patience through multiple rounds of color samples, and noted "no corners were cut" — while adding that Alpha wasn't the cheapest quote they got. Recent reviews this year add a nursery repaint, a custom closet and full trim package, and small touch-ups folded in without extra fuss. On Houzz, where the business holds an Award and two badges alongside a perfect rating, written accounts from 2016 describe the same pattern reaching back further still, including a note from a homeowner that other contractors working on-site had commented on how precise the work was. Across 31 reviews on Google and Houzz spanning nearly a decade, there isn't a documented complaint in the record. The one practical thing worth knowing: reviewers consistently describe Alpha as fairly priced but not the least expensive option — worth factoring in if you're comparing quotes on a large exterior job.
