Cowboy General Services is a Malden, Massachusetts general contracting company run by Bruno Rafael, offering kitchen and bathroom remodeling, interior and exterior painting, carpentry, and deck work for residential and commercial clients in the Greater Boston area. The company holds an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (#173927), verified by BuildZoom, and is BBB accredited with an A+ rating.
Ten reviews across Angi, HomeAdvisor, and BuildZoom's platforms are unanimously five stars, and several go well beyond generic praise. One client hired Bruno first for interior painting, then expanded the job to tiling, a kitchen backsplash, fireplace remodeling, and a laundry room renovation, calling the crew careful and efficient throughout. Another describes a full gut renovation of a 1940s kitchen — coordinated with cabinet, counter, and appliance suppliers during 2021's supply-chain disruptions — that still looks magazine worthy two years later. A repeat, multi-year client credits the business with exterior painting, interior painting after a full house renovation, and several carpentry projects including a new deck, describing the pricing as very fair and the owner as a pleasure to deal with. Reviewers repeatedly mention a clean worksite, responsive communication, and careful attention to detail.
What's worth confirming before booking: the business's own materials state its tenure inconsistently — the website and directory listings describe both 17 and 19 years of experience in different places, while BBB lists 20 years since a 2006 start. The gap is small and likely reflects outdated marketing copy rather than anything concerning, but it's worth asking directly for a current answer.
Cowboy General Services looks like a strong fit for homeowners tackling a kitchen or bathroom remodel, a painting job, or a mix of trades on one project, particularly given the reviewers' emphasis on Bruno Rafael's hands-on involvement and coordination across suppliers and subcontractors.
