C & J Brothers Painting and Services

There isn't much on the books here. C&J Brothers Painting and Services is a southern New Hampshire outfit — BBB lists it at a Manchester address under owner Chris Mullin, while its Angi page gives a Derry PO box — and the company says it brings 13 years of experience across interior and exterior painting, drywall installs and repairs, and laminate floor installation. Its public history amounts to one review, and it is a negative one: a lone Angi rating of half a star, left more than a decade ago by a customer unhappy with the workmanship. BBB opened a file on the business in 2015 but has never issued a grade, saying it does not have enough information to rate it. That leaves the vetting to you. Angi says estimates are free, so asking costs nothing — but before anyone starts, ask for recent local addresses you can drive past, references from the past year, and current proof of insurance. One old complaint is not a verdict on the work today; it is, however, all there is to go on.
