Verified record
Clark Custom Painting is a one-owner interior painting outfit that Todd Clark has run in the Medford/Somerville area for close to a quarter-century — the Better Business Bureau lists the business as active since 2002, and its own Angi profile claims 28 years of hands-on experience. The company's stated focus is narrow and consistent across its listings: interior painting, plus wallpaper removal and hanging. The written record is dated but not thin. Angi carries a 4.6-star average across 14 ratings spanning 2004 to 2011, and the five reviews that survive in detail — written between 2008 and 2010 — all landed 4 or 5 stars. Reviewers from that period describe Todd Clark as reliable and communicative: he returned calls promptly, showed up on schedule, finished jobs as promised, and in one case coordinated delivery for an out-of-state customer managing the project from Dallas. A 2009 review stands out for a different reason — the homeowner had just bought an old house with lead paint and specifically wanted someone who'd handled that kind of work before; Clark had, including in his own home. The one thing worth asking about going in dates to a 2009 review: that customer's original estimate didn't break costs down room by room, which became a headache once they made changes mid-project. It's a small thing, but worth pinning down before signing anything, since the written record is now well over a decade old and pricing habits may have shifted. BBB currently shows Clark Custom Painting with an A+ rating, though the business has never sought accreditation. For a homeowner in an older Medford-area house needing interior work — especially anything touching lead paint — Clark's track record points the right direction, provided you get a clear line-item estimate up front.

Mr. Clark is very professional and reliable--he returned phone calls and emails promptly, arrived on schedule to begin the project, and completed the project on-time (not to mention they were able to do the job on relatively short notice). He and his team are very courteous and considerate. We had a couple of ceilings skimcoated, which is inherently messy, so I spent a lot of time cleaning up after everything was finished (although Clark had clearly put a great deal of effort into cleanup themselves). I believe this is more or less normal.
Clark Painting was very through and helpful for us. Todd Clark was prompt in his delivery of the estimate and finished the job as specified. To add a small complication in our particular job, we were located in Dallas Tx and Todd was kind of enough to work with us in delivery a finished product we were so pleased with.
Really liked Todd. We just bought a new house and had him paint the bedrooms and take down some wallpaper. The house has lead in it and it was important to me to find someone who had worked in old houses before. Todd had this experience, and also has lead in his own house (and kids) so he new how to be careful. He also did a great job taking down wallpaper from some old plaster walls. Todd called every day and gave us a quick update of his status. Really appreciated that. He was easy to work with and was conscious of our budget. Would recommend him to anyone and will definitely call him again in the future.
Todd was very communicative throughout the process, which was very helpful. The estimate that he had originally given me did not include a break down by room - something that I regret as we did make a couple of changes along the way and I don't necessarily think that the final bill reflected what I would have agreed to up front. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would probably give Todd a "7" - he seemed to do a slightly above average job but there a handful of spots that I will need to fix on my own. Overall, I thought that for what I paid (he gave me one of the lower estimates that I had received before starting the job) he did a decent job.
Todd and his crew were very professional and courteous. They did a fantastic job painting the interior of our home. They always cleaned up thoroughly at the end of the day. I would hire them again and would highly recommend them.
