DiPietro Painting has a 4.6-star Google average from 10 ratings, and most of its written reviews are short and warm — but the longest one, a June 2023 Google review, tells a very different story about an exterior job. That customer hired the company to paint the exterior of the house, including all trim, windows, doors and the foundation. The crew finished late one night and promised to come back for an inspection and touch-up; the customer said they tried to reach the company for five weeks and never heard back, put the job at maybe 70% done, and described missed areas, dropped paint and one coat where there should have been two, with several trimmed windows in the contract left untouched. The same reviewer said the crew stored supplies in the shed without asking, opened the front door without contact and set off the alarm, and kept pushing additional carpentry after being told no. The customer had paid the contract in full and said they would edit the review if the company returned to finish. The other accounts are brief. An April 2023 Google reviewer said David and his crew were professional, clean and affordable and left a deck looking brand new. Two December 2022 reviews called the company very professional and reasonably priced, one of them for work on a kitchen and bathrooms, and a September 2023 review praised the work as very professional. In an October 2021 BuildZoom review, a customer said the company was very easy to deal with and named David and Melissa as its owners. The Rhode Island contractor registry lists the company's home improvement registration, GC-46102, held by DiPietro Painting, as expired.
Fantastic work very professional
I chose this company because of its family orientation, small approach to business and really wanted to be happy with the work they did. I hired them to paint the exterior of my home, all trim, windows and doors, foundation, included in the contract. They finished the work late one night and promised to return for our inspection and a touch up. I tried to reach them for 5 weeks after that promise and never heard back. The job is not complete, and they do not stand by their work. Overall, I'm probably a 3 out of 5 happy with the job as is; taking away an additional star for ghosting me, and another for the weird stuff mentioned in the next paragraph. I'm including photos so you can observe the lack of attention to detail yourself, and work which I paid to be complete but now have to finish myself. You'll see areas they missed or skipped, dropped paint where it didn't belong, one coat where there should have been 2.. etc.. I didn't get on a ladder to fully inspect the roof trim but imagine it needs another coat. We only had a few windows with full trim that were in the contract to be painted, and they didn't even touch them. The job is maybe 70% done. I stupidly paid the contract because I trusted what David said. Learn from my mistake. A few odd things happened while they were here that I may not otherwise mention but given the overall lack of professionalism, I do think others deserve to hear. 1. Supplies were stored in my shed, which I never gave permission to enter. It's not a problem but seems strange you'd open a door at a client's house without discussion. 2. With that, I was out of the house for a few hours one day; I set the alarm but left the front door unlocked in case they wanted to paint it while I was out. Thinking they'd certainly call before entering my house, this seemed logical. Nope, they opened the door without contact and set off the alarm. Again, no prior discussion. 3. Aggressively tried to sell me on additional carpentry after I repeatedly said no. Somehow, each time I said no, the project changed a little bit but the price remained the same. David did mention to me that he grew up in the area and so a lot of friends recommend him. I thought this was a good thing, but I now know it falsely reflects his company's reputation. As I said in my last message to David, no hard feelings, if his company is willing to return to remedy the situation and complete the contract, I am happy to edit my review. I am not writing this out of malice but so others do not land in the frustrating situation we are in now.
David and his crew are very professional, clean, and affordable. My deck looks like it’s brand new. Extremely happy!
