Verified record
David Painting is a family-owned painting contractor at 1 Church Street in Waltham, offering interior and exterior residential and commercial painting, small-project painting and staining, and concrete overlay and coloring work. The Better Business Bureau lists the business (not accredited) with an A+ grade and puts it at 8 years in business, while Angi and HomeAdvisor separately show 5 years of experience. The written record is small and mixed - four Angi reviews, all from 2021. In an October 2021 review, a homeowner said David completed the job well and that they would work with him again, noting his English was good but not great and that he initially brought someone to translate. An August 2021 review called the work good and the company reliable, and another described a good response and a completed job. Against that, a November 2021 review described a serious problem: the reviewer said David took half the payment up front, then gave a series of excuses for not finishing the job - including that his car had broken down - before blocking calls and messages. Before hiring, it's worth asking directly about a clear written scope and payment schedule tied to milestones, given that 2021 account of an unfinished job and an unresponsive contractor. The other three 2021 reviews describe completed, satisfactory work, but the record is now several years old and thin enough that recent references are worth requesting.
I contracted David to paint my house, he wanted the project and I paid him half, then he gave me several excuses for not finishing the job, even offering to pick it up because his car broke down, blocking calls and messages.
Expectations of outcome must be made absolutely clear. His mastery of English is pretty good but not great. He did initially bring someone to translate. He is very polite and pleasant and eager to please. I WILL work with him again as the need arises.
Good response. Knew the job and completed .
Good company, they do a really good job.
