AMF Painting Corporation

AMF Painting Corporation is a small Winthrop painting outfit — five people, by its own count — that took its BBB file out in 2020 and has been incorporated since November 2018. What it does is straightforward: interior and exterior painting for houses and commercial spaces, plus the work that usually rides along with it — ceilings, cabinets, doors, deck staining, wallpaper removal, drywall and plaster repair, and power washing. Nicholas Farmer is listed as the owner and the customer contact, so a homeowner calling is likely talking to him. The written history is the thin part. Its BBB page carries an A+ grade, though the business is not BBB accredited — two separate facts worth keeping separate. Its Houzz profile shows a 5.0 average, but that average rests on four ratings and the page publishes no review text behind them, so there is nothing to read about how a job actually went. Four projects are posted there. BBB also lists a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 199763, with an expiration of October 2027 — that is the directory's listing, not a state confirmation, so ask to see the registration and confirm it with the Office of Consumer Affairs before signing. The right call here is a homeowner who wants a small, owner-run painting crew and is willing to do their own diligence: ask for recent local references, a written scope, and proof of insurance, since there is very little published customer writing to lean on.
