AV General Painting and Cleaning Inc

AV General Painting and Cleaning is the kind of painter homeowners come back to more than once — one reviewer says they've hired the company, run by Ailton, on and off for ten years and keep doing it. Based in Winthrop, the company works on both the inside and outside of houses, and its own site lists surface-prep and finishing work alongside the paint itself: drywall repair, power washing, staining, cabinet refinishing, siding painting, and wallpaper removal for homes and businesses across New England. What comes up again and again in the reviews on file, running from January 2024 to January 2025, is the same handful of things: careful edges, a clean job site, and pricing set fairly by the room or the job rather than padded. In a January 2025 review, one customer described Ailton handling a ceiling repair — a hole a plumber had needed to cut — as part of an exterior-trim and interior painting job, and called the patch as clean as the paint work around it. Another, writing in January 2024, said they'd used him "numerous times over the past ten years" for interior painting and found the work diligent rather than rushed, with no sloppy edges. A third customer, also from early 2024, singled him out by name for painting several apartment units and said everyone they'd referred to him had "the same wonderful experience." There's nothing negative on record to weigh against that — no disputed jobs, no gaps between what the company says about itself and what customers describe. The written record does run from January 2024 to January 2025, so it's a year or two old rather than fresh this month, worth keeping in mind if very recent feedback matters to you. For an interior or exterior repaint — especially one that also needs some drywall or trim work folded in — this is a company with a track record of returning customers and consistent, detail-first execution. Worth confirming current availability and getting a written quote before booking, since nothing on file speaks to scheduling lead times.
