Deluxe Painting

The word that keeps surfacing in reviews of this Framingham painter is prep. Not color, not price — prep. "They did all the prep work first, didn't just throw paint on top," one homeowner wrote this April after an exterior job on a dirty, peeling front facade. Another had a humid bathroom whose paint kept lifting; the wall got worked over before a brush touched it, and the finish held. Deluxe Painting runs out of 808 Worcester Road and is small by design. Thumbtack lists five employees and seven years at the trade, with Lowrane Melo named on the platform's background check. A May 2025 customer described "the couple" showing up on time, laying out dropcloths and asking questions when the instructions weren't clear; a July 2025 reviewer called it a female owned business. It reads like a crew you meet rather than dispatch. The written history is short but unbroken: 14 Thumbtack ratings and 5 on Google, every one of them five stars, plus a 2025 Top Pro badge and 27 project photos on the platform. The most useful review is the longest one. In May 2025 a customer inquired and had a quote for both her bathrooms the same day — one of them needing its ceiling taken out and fixed after a plumber chased a leak. A November 2025 reviewer said a large rehab was finished in a single day. The April 2026 comments run smaller and more domestic: a kid's bedroom covered in marks and old stains, repainted without dust spreading through the house. One thing to weigh before booking. Everything written about this business dates from May 2025 onward, so there is less than a year of it, all of it glowing and none of it describing a job that went sideways. Ask for references on a job the size of yours rather than assuming a five-star run scales. The right call for interior repaints, cabinet work, and prep-heavy jobs where the surface is the actual problem: peeling, stains, old wallpaper, humidity damage. Get the scope in writing — coats, prep, and who moves the furniture — before the first drop cloth goes down.
