B & D Painting is a painting and contracting business; on Angi it describes itself as independently owned and operated, with over 25 years of experience. Its Massachusetts HIC licence 175887, held by Bruce Williams, is expired on the state registry. A 2017 customer said Bruce, Mike and Alex prepped and stained a 2000 sq ft ranch: they power-sanded two of the four sides, then applied two coats of Benjamin Moore Solid Stain, three in some areas. That 2017 customer said Bruce caulked some damaged clapboards and filled small cracks and holes, and that the lines they cut between the gray body and the white trim were clean and crisp. A different 2017 customer said the company painted and repaired the back side of their home, which needed carpentry for water damage and a thorough scraping. That 2017 customer said Bruce advised against doing certain work, and that the job cost significantly less than other estimates. A 2014 customer with a 1772 Colonial said Bruce and his crew repaired and painted its very old wood clapboards after the aluminum siding was removed, keeping the historic look of the house. That 2014 customer said they got the job done before the weather turned and cleaned up after themselves. A 2015 customer said they did roof and ceiling repairs after a bad winter. The 2017 ranch customer said both the start and the finish ran longer than Bruce had estimated, though that customer called the wait worth it. A 2016 customer said the job took longer than anticipated and the crew tended to work shorter days than expected.
He was very fussy about everything he did because he wanted everything perfect for me.
Bruce was professional with his proposal and workmanship in completing the exterior painting.
Found Bruce on Thumbtack. I am very pleased with the painting work he did.Exterior Painting
B&D Painting did an amazing job painting and repairing the back side of our home. We needed some carpentry for water damage and a thorough scraping and painting. It looks phenomenal, better than we hoped. Bruce and his team were respectful and easy to work with. The communication was excellent. We always knew when they would be there, how the project was progressing, and what decisions Bruce made about how to make the repairs. He also gave us excellent advice, including NOT to do certain work, so they are honest. Best of all, we had this stellar experience and it cost us significantly less than other estimates. I could not recommend B&D highly enough. They are coming back to paint the rest of our house in the spring. We will also use them for any other repairs or snow situations that arise.
While B&D may take more time than some contractors, their quality of work is second to none, and I felt they exhibit and exceptional degree of attention to detail.
