De Rosier Bros Sandblasting & Painting

Sandblasting is the part that sets this Middleton shop apart. De Rosier Bros runs the abrasive-blasting side itself — cleaning and pre-painting a surface before any coating goes on — and pitches that toward swimming pools, brick, equipment and industrial structures as much as toward houses. The company works from 305 N Main St in Middleton and, in its own words, has served Massachusetts and New Hampshire since 1995, listing a second location in East Kingston, NH. It says estimates are free and that it takes both home and business work, while describing itself as a place for commercial, industrial and fabrications painting. How long it has been trading is the open question. The website claims service since 1995; BBB records the business as started on 1 January 2011 with one employee and Lloyd Derosier as owner, and grades it A+ on a profile that is not BBB accredited. Those are different stories about the same company, worth asking about directly. BBB publishes no customer reviews, no star average and no complaint count for the business, so there is nothing written by a customer to weigh here in either direction — the reason no rating is shown. If you are calling for house painting, ask what share of the work is residential and get the free estimate in writing, including whether blasting or another prep method is planned for your siding.
