C & M Painting, Inc.

Ask around Woburn for a painter and the same two names come back: Maureen and Celso, the couple behind C & M Painting. Their Google page carries a 5.0 across 24 ratings, and what stands out in the writing is how often customers name the owners rather than a crew that showed up. The company describes itself as an interior and exterior painter for homes and commercial buildings, and says it also handles cabinet painting, power washing, wallpaper removal, drywall repair, gutter cleaning and light carpentry. What people actually hire them for is paint over difficult surfaces. Wallpaper comes up again and again: a November 2025 customer had several rooms in a newly bought house stripped and repainted and said the job finished faster than expected; another, writing in August 2025, described careful wallpaper removal followed by prep on rough walls before any paint went on. In a 2023 review, a homeowner with six days before moving into a 130-year-old house said C&M patched cracked and bowed plaster throughout, then painted the living room, dining room, three bedrooms and the first-to-third-floor hallway — the estimate had been two days earlier. Price comes up nearly as often as prep. A 2023 reviewer staining a deck collected four quotes and went with C&M, citing the sanding and hand-painting that followed. A 2021 reviewer said C&M's bid was the lowest of several and the exterior still came out well. The longest view on durability sits in a 2024 review: the exterior C&M had sanded down to bare wood seven years earlier, that customer wrote, still looked freshly painted. Two things worth pinning down before you call. The site lists drywall repair, gutter cleaning and light carpentry alongside the painting, but the customer accounts are almost entirely about paint, prep and wallpaper — so ask directly how they handle the non-painting parts of your job. The published service area is also wide, running from Acton and Andover through Boston and Braintree, so confirm your town is in the current rotation. A Reddit commenter recommended them in a July 2026 North Shore thread, which is roughly the shape of this business: word of mouth and repeat customers rather than a broad multi-platform footprint. Nearly all the written reviews sit on Google and arrive a few a year since 2021, so read the 5.0 as consistent rather than voluminous. For interior repaints, wallpaper-to-paint conversions, and exterior work where the prep matters more than the paint, they are a straightforward call — get the scope and the travel area in writing, and ask to see photos of a job like yours.
