Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Castle Complements Painting Co., Inc.. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Finished floor area of the rooms in scope — not wall area.
Rot and trim repair — rotted clapboard and molding replaced before painting
Decade-long clients — customers report ten to fifteen years of repeat work
Containment and prep — taping and plastic keep overspray off everything else
Punctual crews — homeowners note arrival exactly as scheduled, house left clean
Active state registration — Massachusetts home improvement registration verified in the company's name
Post-sanding dust — a 2025 reviewer spent hours cleaning after plastic came down early
Fixture overspray — a 2024 customer got paint on a light fixture
The tell with Castle Complements is how long people keep calling. One customer writing in July 2025 had used them for several jobs across almost fifteen years; another, in December 2024, put it at ten years, inside and out.
The company works out of 74 Bridge St in Chelmsford. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 157414, is active and held in the company's own name, and BBB grades it A+. On Google it carries a 5.0 average across 117 ratings, with 84 written reviews on file going back to 2021.
Two kinds of job dominate. The first is cabinets. A January 2023 homeowner had yellowed maple painted off-white with grey-blue islands and said the finish looked like it came from the factory; a March 2025 reviewer took a kitchen island from dark brown to taupe; a February 2024 reviewer named the exact colour, Benjamin Moore Simply White, on a satin cabinet finish. The second is rot. Reviewers describe rotted molding taken care of in May 2026, rotted clapboard and trim swapped for PVC in a November 2023 job, and, a month later, old wood trim replaced with composite — the carpentry handled by the same crew that then paints it.
Prep and containment come up nearly as often as the finish. A March 2025 customer described the taping and plastic hung before any spraying; another that same month watched two textured ceilings — one two storeys up over an expensive runner, the other patched where attic stairs had been removed — sealed and painted in about two hours with everything covered. Crew names recur across the reviews: Mat, Chuck, Nick, David, Charlie.
The one thing to raise is dust. In May 2025 a four-star reviewer, otherwise happy with two repaired and repainted rooms, said the plastic came down too soon and the sanding that followed left a mess that took hours to clean. That is the only real complaint anywhere in the history. A September 2024 customer got paint on a light fixture and the company ordered a replacement the same day.
If the job is cabinets, wallpaper coming off old plaster, or an exterior where the trim has to be rebuilt before it can be painted, this is a thoroughly documented choice. Ask them to keep the containment up until the sanding is finished, and pin down in the quote who is doing the carpentry.

“I highly recommend Mathew and Castle Complements. Mathew is great to work with.”
We had an outstanding experience with this Castle Compliments Painting Co, Inc. From start to finish, they were communicative, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Their pricing was very competitive, and they showed up exactly when they said they would every single day. The quality of their work was absolutely pristine and our house looks gorgeous! They paid incredible attention to detail, took great care of our home, and left everything looking beautiful. We also really appreciated how respectful they were throughout the project. We have 3 dogs, and the were so kind and patient with their barking, which made the entire experience even less stressful. If you're looking for painters who are reliable, fairly priced, professional, and deliver exceptional results, I highly recommend Castle Compliments We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out!
Mathew is great to work with, and his team completed the rooms we wanted painted even faster than he predicted. I am excited to use them for future projects!
Mathew and crew, on time every day. Very experienced and professional, neat, clean and worked well together. Took care of some rotted molding. Highly recommend them without hesitation.
We have used Castle Compliments on a number of painting projects. The interior projects included drywall repair and the exterior projects included extensive trim repair. We are always extremely satisfied with the quality of work and communication throughout the process. The cost of the projects has also been very reasonable. I would recommend Castle Compliments without hesitation to anyone looking to complete a painting project.
