Boston City Construction, doing business in Cambridge as Boston City Construction | Painting & Contracting, is a Massachusetts crew customers keep coming back to for house painting and porch work. The reviews trace back almost a decade to the same manager, Sam, and Angi categorizes the company under general contracting and exterior painting. It has also added a newer handyman-services line for smaller jobs. The pattern across the reviews is specific rather than flashy. A 2025 review described a punctual fix for a leaking basement window; a 2021 review credited the crew with rebuilding two-story porches and repainting an aluminum-sided house on schedule, with steady updates and no surprises along the way. Further back, a 2022 review walked through a full bathroom overhaul — new tile, shower fixtures, a fresh coat of paint — and a 2017 account, from when the company operated as BCPC, Inc., described Sam personally comparing subcontractor quotes and managing a masonry job start to finish. Thumbtack puts the aggregate at 5.0 stars from 7 ratings. The written record is thin in volume — seven ratings logged since 2017 across platforms, with only one posted in the past six months — and Angi shows no reviews yet at all, so most of what's known comes from Thumbtack. Reviews also refer to the business under a few names over the years — Boston City Painters, Boston City Construction, and BCPC, Inc. — worth keeping in mind when looking them up. For a homeowner planning an exterior repaint, a porch rebuild, or a bathroom refresh, the reviews point to a crew that communicates well and finishes what it starts — a quick call to confirm current scheduling is the natural next step.

We have used Boston City Painters for many years and they have been fantastic on projects both large and small, painting the interior and exterior of our home, renovating our shed, installing new shutters and keeping our old house in tip top shape. They are knowledgeable, friendly and professional, always willing to give us advice and providing creative solutions. I always know I can trust Fabricio and Sam to complete the job in a timely and professional manner, maintaining clear communication. Working with them is a pleasure.
They did an excellent job with exceptional attention to detail and high-quality workmanship. They were very punctual and professional throughout the project. I had a leak in my basement window, and their work exceeded my expectations—I couldn’t be happier with the results. The pricing was also fair. Highly recommend!
Sam and his crew did a fabulous job making our bathroom beautiful. They replaced the tile in the shower, added new shower fixtures, and repainted the whole bathroom. They are always a pleasure to work with and we love the new shower. Thank you Boston City Construction!
Boston City rebuilt my 2 story porches and painted my (mostly) aluminum sided house. They did such a professional, amazing job. They work in a very timely fashion. We were always in communication. No surprises. Always showed up when they said they would, and sometimes were there unexpectedly! I cant say enough good things about them. I think you get more value for your $$ with them just because of their work ethic, promptness, and professionalism. The crew that built my porches were not the same guys that did the painting, but both crews were efficient and got the job done!
I hired BCPC, Inc. during spring/summer of '16 for masonry work project. Sam (the President of the company) worked diligently from the start. First getting several price quotes from sub-contractors/workers that were needed. Sam then explained differences in proposals to set expectations and work with me and my budget. Sam then went on to manage the project taking my in put and goals and relaying those goals to the crew. Every person has a unique personality and Sam knowing those personalities and when he could push for more or when it was necessary to ease up was vital. Sam's project management skills were vital to keep the project moving timely, on budget, and work done well. I highly recommend BCPC, Inc.
