Painting older houses has involved more than a fresh coat for Alternative Painting Co's customers. In a June 2024 Google review, a homeowner described Tim painting exterior areas and replacing or filling damaged wood on an older, tall house. They praised the improved appearance, his communication and his completion within the time he had predicted. The business is based in East Longmeadow, and a November 2020 reviewer identified Tim as its owner. A September 2023 reviewer described a porch restoration that included painting and replacement of rotted wood. Tim also power washed the rest of the house and reglazed old windows. That homeowner praised his attention to detail, responsiveness and reasonable rates. In July 2022, another customer praised an exterior paint project on a century-old Craftsman home, saying Tim recognized potential issues involving window glazing, sanding, cleaning and color development and provided a reasonable estimate. Interior work drew similar praise in February 2021. A customer with a 1938 home described Tim removing decades-old wallpaper, repairing the walls, painting dark kitchen cabinets with at least three coats, and painting the entire first floor. They appreciated his patience and a reasonable room-by-room quote. Google shows a 5-star average from eight ratings. Its written customer accounts span 2020–2024.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Alternative Painting Co. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.

Tim painted areas on the exterior of our house that were in need of attention, and replaced/filled in spots in the wood that were damaged. It was not an easy job because of the age and height of the house, as well as the hot weather. Tim did a great job, really improving the overall appearance of the house. He is not only talented, but also clearly knowledgeable about older homes. Excellent communicator too, and kept to the schedule he set himself, finishing in the predicted time. Highly recommend.
Tim did an excellent job of restoring my porch, not only painting it but replacing some rotted wood. He also power washed the rest of the house and reglazed some old windows. My house looks like new! He is professional and responsive, efficient without hurrying, meticulous, and his rates are very reasonable. I highly recommend Alternative Painting!
First and formost, Tim's expertise and craftsmanship is apparent in the final product of our exterior paint project. We're extremely satisfied with the work and the house looks revived and beautiful. The reason why we chose Tim was due to his appreciation and respect for old Springfield homes. He immediately identified the possible pain points that would need addressing in a 100 year old craftman home (window glazing, sanding, cleaning, and color development). With that knowledge, he provided an incredibly reasonable estimate and went to work his craft. We love our home, and Tim delivered a quality of craftsmanship that fully respected that. Highly recommended.
We have an old 1938 home and the interior was filled with 30 year old wallpaper. Tim removed the wallpaper and repaired all the walls to perfection. We chose a dark color for the kitchen cabinets which required at least three coats and he was as patient as could be, making certain it was perfect. Tim painted the entire first floor of our house and we love it. I would highly recommend Tim. He was professional and gave us a room by room quote and it was very reasonable! Hire this guy, you won’t be disappointed!!
We had Alternative Painting paint the outside of our house and it came out better than we could have imagined. Tim the owner gave his honest opinion on everything we needed to do and he did the rest. He is a perfectionist and very professional and polite. Great job and I would highly recommend, and would use again.
