Dandis Contracting Inc

Painting public buildings across Massachusetts is the main business at Dandis Contracting, the Canton company Thomas and Patty Dandis say they founded in 1996 and grew out of a small painting operation. The company describes itself as woman-owned. Two credentials are confirmed on state registries: its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, 160758, is active, and its Women Business Enterprise certification with the state's Supplier Diversity Office, number 20130232, is active into 2028. The company also says it is certified by the state's Division of Capital Asset Management & Maintenance and in general building construction, holds RRP (renovation, repair and painting) certification, runs an accredited apprenticeship program, and belongs to the Associated Sub-Contractors of Massachusetts. BuildZoom lists a construction supervisor licence, CS-101894, in Parthena Dandis's name rather than the company's — a personal trade licence alongside a company registration is the normal arrangement. Public-sector work runs through the paperwork: the Marshfield housing authority's board minutes record votes on change orders to its contract with the company. Houses are part of the mix too. BuildZoom's permit history filed under the Dandis name runs from 2015 to 2023 and includes siding and window replacements in South Yarmouth, a Fitchburg exterior and interior renovation, and a 2023 Arlington job valued at $119,900 covering a kitchen, a bath, a garage roof and a driveway. The company's own site adds siding, doors and windows, and kitchen and bathroom renovations alongside the painting. On Google it shows 5★ from 2 ratings. If you want a painter used to large, specification-driven jobs and public-building schedules, Dandis fits that shape. For a house project, ask who handles residential scheduling and get the scope — surface preparation, materials, the number of coats — written into the contract before anyone starts.
