Carbea Painting is a Massachusetts painting company built almost entirely around one job: repainting and refinishing kitchen cabinets. Across 242 Thumbtack ratings and 16 Google reviews, the story barely changes — old, dated cabinets come back looking new, and the same first name, Carlos, keeps coming up. The company says it has been operating since 2010, covering Greater Boston and roughly 60 miles around Worcester. The track record here is deep and consistent. Reviewers writing as recently as July 2026 and as far back as 2022 describe the same things: cabinets prepped, patched, and sprayed with a finish several called factory quality, crews that showed up on schedule — in one case working four straight days from 10 to 5:30 — and a willingness to take on extras, like the reviewer who said Carlos stayed on to repaint an entire interior after being booked only for cabinets, or another whose crew removed an old appliance and built a shelf mid-project. On Thumbtack, where the listed services are cabinet refinishing/repair and cabinet painting, the rating sits at 5.0 from 242 ratings with 98% five-star; Google reviewers rate the company 4.8. One thing worth asking about before booking: a 2025 Google review described paint lifting in a few low-traffic spots months after a job, and said Carlos was slow to follow up — he scheduled a repair visit a month out, then missed it, only responding after being messaged again. It stands out against a long run of five-star reviews, but for a paint job it's worth confirming touch-up and warranty terms upfront. For a straightforward cabinet refinish or interior repaint, the reviews point to a crew that communicates well, sticks to a schedule, and finishes clean. Ask about their current scheduling window and how they handle any post-job touch-ups before signing on.

I had an excellent experience with Carbea Painting for my kitchen cabinet painting project. Not only was the workmanship flawless but Carlos, the owner, and his entire team were very professional, efficient, and skilled. They did the job as they described it, maintained the agreed upon schedule and were very neat throughout the entire project. I recommend them without hesitation and will rehire them should the need arise. They were a pleasure to work with.
I had great experience working with Carlos and his team! It’s a family business so they really put trust and efforts in the project. They repainted my kitchen cabinets in 3 days, which completely transformed the whole space. I love the new look and would definitely go with them again for any other painting jobs in the future! They can be quite busy during summer so make sure you contact them ASAP to get your work scheduled.
I first contacted Carlos about a year ago to paint my kitchen cabinets. He provided a very competitive quote, and we were ready to move forward. Unfortunately, I had some personal issues come up and had to put the project on hold. When I informed Carlos, he was very understanding and told me to reach out whenever I was ready. This year, I contacted him again, and true to his word, he completed the job exactly as promised. What impressed me most was his professionalism and patience. He never once questioned or complained about the delay between the original estimate and restarting the project. That level of customer service is rare and greatly appreciated. The quality of the work was excellent, and the cabinets look fantastic. I highly recommend Carlos to anyone looking for quality workmanship, fair pricing, and someone who truly stands behind his word.
Carlos did an outstanding job on my home. He completely transformed my kitchen cabinets, making them look brand new. His attention to detail, craftsmanship, and professionalism were evident throughout the entire project. In addition to the cabinets, Carlos completed other painting work in my home, and the results exceeded my expectations. My home feels refreshed and looks brand new. He is reliable, respectful, clean, and takes great pride in his work. He kept the work area organized and always made sure everything was done properly and on time. I am extremely happy with his work and would not hesitate to hire him again for future projects. Thank you, Carlos, for a job well done!
Carlos was responsive and easy to work with. They worked with our tenants in gaining access and they finished the cabinet refinishing job earlier than expected. They also removed an obsolete appliance for us and then built an open shelf in that kitchen space trying their best matching the existing cabinet style. We were glad to work with Carlos and his team. Thank you for all your hard work!
