Artisan Painting & Decorating, Inc.

Artisan Painting & Decorating is a small, partnership-run shop out of Rockland that markets itself to homeowners and businesses across the Boston area for both everyday painting and the finishing work that goes beyond a basic coat of color. The company describes itself as a partnership led by Brian Pearson, with Jim Liquori as the other painter on the team. Its stated menu goes past interior and exterior painting into decorative extras — Venetian plaster, faux finishes, wallpaper hanging, wood staining, and drywall repair — the kind of jobs homeowners call in when they want more than a fresh coat. On Google, the company currently sits at a 5-star average, but that's drawn from only three ratings, too small a sample to say much yet about how a typical job with them goes. With most of what's known here coming from the company's own site rather than a documented history of finished jobs, it's worth asking to see recent work photos or a couple of references, and confirming current licensing and insurance, before signing anything.
