Designed For You Painters

The name that comes up again and again in Designed For You Painters' reviews isn't the company — it's Dave and his son Anthony, the two-person crew customers describe hiring by name. The Gardner, MA company says it's been in the painting business for 25 years and lists a service area stretching from Fitchburg and Leominster into southern New Hampshire towns like Peterborough and Rindge. A 2024 review called it "exactly what you'd expect from a family operated business". The work customers describe is specific and repeats: a deck power washed, repaired, sanded, primed and painted in a review from this summer; kitchen cabinets refinished from dark to light; old wallpaper stripped from a hallway before it and the living room were repainted, in a review from earlier this year; and drywall repaired after water damage to a first floor and basement, finished inside two days. Between Google and Angi, the company has picked up 38 reviews since 2023, nearly all five stars, and its Better Business Bureau grade is an A. A couple of reviews flag the same soft spot: follow-through after the paint dries. In a December 2025 review, a customer said Dave and Anthony did a great job but hadn't received an invoice a week later and doubted a punch list would get finished. A June 2025 review said the homeowner had to finish some items the crew left undone. For interior or exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, drywall repair or power washing around Gardner and the surrounding towns, this is a small, hands-on crew with a long track record — worth pinning down the punch list and invoice timeline before the job wraps.
