Bill Painter

Bill Painter is a Fall River, Massachusetts painting and deck-staining outfit that has been in business about 12 years, according to its Thumbtack profile, with a background-checked employee working alongside the owner. The five written reviews on file, all positive, describe the same pattern: someone who tells customers exactly when he or his employee will show up and sticks to the timeline. One customer had four decks repainted and noted he "double checks all the work himself"; another had a 15ft x 25ft deck re-stained and said it looked "great again." In a 2022 review, a homeowner described a painted railing and clothesline finished the day after the job started. Thumbtack's platform totals back up the pattern: a perfect 5.0-star average across 25 ratings, all five stars. Deck work comes up more than anything else in the reviews — staining, sealing, and repainting — though the Thumbtack service menu also lists interior and exterior painting, fence and cabinet painting, wallpaper removal, and some drywall and texture-removal work. Worth asking about before booking: the written record is thin, five reviews spanning 2022 to 2026 with nothing negative among them, but not a deep sample to judge consistency from over time. For a deck staining, repainting, or exterior paint job around Fall River, the pattern here — communicative, punctual, checks his own work — is what to confirm with current references.
