E. W. Gemme & Sons describes itself as a family-owned and operated painting and decorating contractor based in Grafton, Massachusetts, passed down from generation to generation since 1907. Its website says it provides contracting services to exterior and interior spaces, and it says it offers free estimates and is insured. A 2025 Community Advocate article said Gemme, a 22-year-old immigrant from Quebec, founded his own painting company, Gemme Painting, in 1907, and did all the decorating of Saint Joseph's Catholic Church in Worcester. A 2021 Community Advocate article described the company as offering interior/exterior painting, carpentry, power washing and more. In 2022, a graftoncommon.com item credited the professional services of E. W Gemme & Sons, painting contractors, together with generous donors. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor licence, number 125150, is expired on the state registry.
“22-year-old immigrant from Quebec, Gemme founded his own painting company, Gemme Painting, in 1907. His talent was evident from the beginning – he did all the decorating of Saint Joseph’s Catholic Church in Worcester, for instance – and his painting was prodigious.”
“This week that vision will become a reality thanks to some generous donors and the professional services of E. W Gemme & Sons Co. Inc., painting contractors.”
