Verified record
AMF Painting Corporation, a Winthrop painting and drywall outfit run by owner Nicholas Farmer, does the kind of work that goes well beyond a coat of paint — walls opened up, reframed, insulated, and rebuilt after damage, not just repainted. Its Houzz reviews use an earlier name for the business, NPF Decorators, and name the owner as Nick. In a 2015 review, a customer described a full wall repair after water damage: the crew opened the walls, resealed the brick, reframed, insulated, hung sheetrock, and painted, all while the homeowner was traveling for a week. They came home to a space left clean, the debris gone, and the final invoice matching the original bid. A second review from the same month said they'd used the company for interior and exterior painting for two years running and called the pricing reasonable. Two more from July 2015 echoed the same points — punctual, on budget, and hands-on ownership on every job. The Houzz profile carries a Houzz Award and Badge, and Better Business Bureau gives the firm an A+ grade, though it isn't BBB-accredited. BBB also shows a Massachusetts home improvement contractor license (#199763) on file through October 2027 — that's a directory listing rather than a state-verified record, so it's worth confirming directly before booking. The written record here runs entirely through July and August 2015 — genuinely positive, but old enough that it's worth asking about more recent work before booking.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from AMF Painting Corporation. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.

Nick and his employees were great! I am very very happy and pleased with the quality of the recent job done - painting of bathroom and refinishing the bathtub and cabinetry. I have used NPF for all of my paint projects for the past two years - interior and exterior. Nick is also very reasonable on his pricing of any job he has done for me. Thumbs up all the way!!!!
Nick and his team are excellent and here is why. I have a condo in downtown Boston and I needed work done on some of the walls due to some water damage. I was traveling on a business trip for a week, and they took care of everything. They got the walls opened up, resealed the brick area, new framing, replaced insulation, sheetrock put up, and then finished the walls up and painted. The room was neat as a pin when I got back from my trip. All of the debris was removed. And most of all, the invoice matched the proposed bid. I was so pleased that I had Nick go to my mother's house on the North Shore. His crew painted a deck, all of the rod iron in front of the house and painted the foundation of the house as well. They were there for 2 days, and you would have never even noticed. Very professional job, cleaned up and all for the agreed to price. Highly recommend NPF for home improvements. It's great to find someone that you can trust that stands behind his word. I have gone through a lot of contractors over the years and this is not the norm. Thanks guys for the great work.
NPF Decorators is highly respected company in the field and not only does their customer service reflect that, so does their work. NPF is always on time, budget and the owner is always on every project. These are guys that get the job done and they always leave a great lasting impression with their work. I can always count of them to do a beautiful job , a clean joist, and happy customers.
Hired for many projects ranging from interior to exterior paint work. Expect high quality work from a very professional and punctual company.
