Candella's Superior Painting, LLC

Candella's Superior Painting is a residential painting contractor in Westwood, MA, run by David (Dave) Candella. Its Angi and HomeAdvisor listings report 15 years of experience and 210 projects, and Houzz, Angi, HomeAdvisor and BuildZoom all show home improvement contractor registration 183486, which BuildZoom reported as active when it last checked; Houzz also lists a lead-safe certification. Interior and exterior painting is the core of the work, but customers describe a broader exterior-maintenance business. In a June 2024 review, a homeowner said the crew handled a lot of shingle and fascia board repair before painting and found problem areas the owner had not noticed; another in 2023 had the gutters cleaned and gutter guards installed, the house and deck power washed, and holiday lights hung, and said the neighbors then hired him too. A 2023 customer had a deck repaired and stained. The most recent review, from August 2025, describes a meticulous painter who arrived on time, cleaned up completely, and charged a reasonable price. Responsiveness is a repeated theme: one 2024 job was finished within 48 hours of the first call. Older Houzz reviews from 2018 describe whole-floor interior repaints, including dark stained trim painted white, done quickly and precisely. The one serious complaint is from 2016, when a Houzz reviewer said an addition painting job started well but deteriorated after inexperienced helpers were brought in. Across platforms the headline numbers are strong: 4.8 stars from 77 ratings on Angi and HomeAdvisor, with about one in a hundred reviews at 1 or 2 stars, and 4.6 from 11 on Houzz. He is a good fit for a homeowner who wants painting bundled with the small carpentry, gutter, and washing jobs that go with it. Ask who will be on the crew for a larger job, and confirm the registration and lead-safe status if the house predates 1978.
