Auggie's Painting is a painting company in Hudson. The company says its painting service has been around since 1989 and names Rick Agostinho as its owner. In a 2017 review, a customer described Rick's interior painting of nine rooms in a 1910 house with horsehair plaster: the contract covered prepping, 2-3 coats of compound to repair walls and holes, primer, 2 coats of color and 2 coats of ceiling paint, and that customer wrote that the walls came out practically mirror smooth. In a 2016 review, a customer wrote that Rick recognized a calcimine ceiling that other contractors had unsuccessfully repaired 3 times, and that for the first time the work was holding. In a 2019 review, a couple who had stripped the paint off a turn-of-the-century tin ceiling wrote that Rick and Alex repainted it and that the ceiling came out beautiful at a reasonable price. In a 2019 review of a 120-year-old house, a customer wrote that the power washing of a porch nearly black with mold took many hours, that rotted wood was prepped, patched and some boards replaced, and that Rick also painted the bulkhead and 2 doors. In a 2018 review, a customer wrote that Rick removed textured popcorn ceilings from a large portion of the house and that the work was completed 3 days before it was promised. In a 2019 review, a customer wrote that Rick re-did a complete side of the house's finish coat after a pop-up rain shower left a few streaks. In a 2018 review, a customer whose second floor had been rewired after an electrical fire wrote that Rick and his crew patched the holes left by the electricians and protected the newly refinished floors and door hardware. That 2018 customer wrote that they were not the cheapest, but that their quality of work was worth the money. In another 2018 review, a customer wrote that pricing was on the higher end compared to a few other quotes.
Our 120 year old house had been neglected. The front farmers’ porch was nearly black with mold. So the power washing took many hours. A lot of the wood was rotted so that needed to be prepped and patched and some boards replaced. Again, hours and hours of labor. I hired Rick because of his reviews on Angie’s List and he certainly lived up to his reputation. He and his nephew are very personable, and clearly know their stuff. Meticulous attention to detail, and perfectionism. He also painted our bulkhead and 2 doors, which I wasn’t expecting. The house looks beautiful and I know it was done right and with the best products available.
After spending the summer stripping the paint off our turn of the century tin ceiling my husband and I wanted to be careful who we hired to repaint it to its original glory. After our meeting with Rick Agostinho, his awareness of the special preparation needed for this unusual job, his friendly manner and recommendations of the products we were not aware of made us comfortable. Rick & Alex showed up each day as scheduled in a timely manner and did a phenomenal job. Their professionalism and meticulous attention to detail really impressed us. The ceiling came out beautiful at a reasonable price. We would highly recommend them. Thanks again, Rick & Alex, we are very happy with the end result.
Rick and his team communicated very well before, during and after the job. The job was done to complete satisfaction. Rick ensured the job was quality work, and even re-did a complete side of the house's finish coat after an unexpected pop-up rain shower left a few streaks. And the kid's enjoyed playing fetch with the 4 legged assistant crew-member, Skittles who we gladly approved to have while Rick was there.
Honest upfront pricing and high quality work! My wife and I are very happy with Auggies Painting. They provided a complete proposal with honest upfront pricing. They were easy to work with and provide frequent progress updates. We were very impressed with the quality materials, attention to details and excellent workmanship Auggies Painting demonstrated through the entire process. I would highly recommend them, and will use their services again.
The paint job was very well done!
