Da Costa Painting, run by Walmir Da Costa, works on interior and exterior painting, hardwood floor refinishing and installation, and cabinet painting around Franklin and Milford, Massachusetts. In a 2024 review, a customer described a full hardwood floor refinishing and repaint across three rooms of a Cape-style house, finished in a week with what they called amazing attention to detail in the prep work. Reviews from 2020 through 2023 repeatedly credit Walmir personally for staying in contact through each step, offering color guidance, and treating homes and belongings with care. The record isn't spotless: in two December 2024 reviews, customers described a bathroom remodel that went wrong, with plumbing cut through a wall, a shower pan installed slanted, and sealant coats left incomplete. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license, #198585, for the business. A solid pick for interior or exterior painting and flooring work, backed by a long, mostly positive record; given the bathroom-remodel complaints, it's worth asking specifically about plumbing and tile subcontracting before signing on for anything beyond painting and flooring.

Da Costa Painting did bathroom demolition, adjusted plumbing and fixed walls and the floor for me. The plumber cut through the wall into another room. Now I have to move furniture and paint the whole wall. They put the shower pan so that one end is 1" lower and the walls are slanted. I corrected the shower walls with tiles and a ton of mortar, but I cannot install a shower door on the slanted shower pan. I talked with multiple contractors and they won’t do it.
BEWARE!!!! DO NOT HIRE!!! SCAMMER!!! We had the worst experience with this contractor!! Bad communication throughout the entire project. Careless, dishonest!! We hired them for a bathroom remodel and ended up hiring our own electrician and my boyfriend had to fix what his plumber did to our tub and sink. He charged us for 2 coats of sealer to be put on our tiled shower and floor and only 1 coat was put on our tiled shower and zero coats on the floor. He built out one of our walls for some reason with joint compound and did not sand it properly so now the baseboard has a large space between the wall and baseboard. I could go on and on but please just know this company cannot be trusted.
There are not enough categories to describe the job! Full sanding and refinishing of oak hardwood floors in kitchen, dining room and living room in Cape style house. Full painting of walls, trim, ceiling in living room and kitchen. From the first estimate the entire job was done in a week. The team had amazing attention to detail in the prep work as well as the actual job. They moved all furniture out to a Pod (that Walmir arranged) and moved it all back. I had constant updates regarding status. Excellent work from the team. I will use them again- likely soon to do a little more painting. Now that two rooms look so good I need to spiff up the hallway.
Very effective. There is no break if inside frames. The qualify helps energy efficiency.
It is good that this time of painting from them covers a lot of grounds including fixing underneath of sidings.
