Cookies Painting & House Washing Inc

Cookies Painting & House Washing has a genuinely mixed record: alongside real praise for its interior painting work sit specific complaints about exterior durability and follow-through. The Harwich business is run by David Cook, a third-generation painter (his grandfather and father were both painters) who reports 25 years in the trade; BBB lists the company as operating since 1982 and A+ rated and accredited since 2014. Several detailed reviews single out its interior work. A 2026 review says a full-house interior repaint 'makes the house look brand new' and left nothing behind; a 2024 review credits foreman Tiago with running a large, pleasant crew that finished a repaint slightly ahead of schedule; and in a 2022 review, a homeowner described a team of three stripping 20-year-old wallpaper, prepping the walls, and finishing a bedroom repaint in one 10-hour day. A same-day room-painting job in June 2026 drew similar praise for speed and quality. The exterior side of the business has drawn real complaints. A review posted this June says shingle staining done back in 2021 — expected to last 30 years — began peeling within five years, forcing the homeowner to hire another company to sand and re-stain at real cost. A 2023 review describes the owner failing to show for a scheduled quote and never returning a promised callback, and a 2024 review reports dissatisfaction with a bathroom and TV-room paint job. One December 2025 review is logged as one star but its text is entirely positive, describing a clean, professional, on-time interior job — likely a rating that doesn't match what was actually written. For interior painting, the reviews point to a capable, well-managed crew; for exterior stain or wood work, it's worth asking specifically about the expected longevity and any warranty, and confirming they'll follow through promptly on a quote before committing.
