Expert Painting & Home Improvement

Expert Painting & Home Improvement is run by Liz Figueiredo, and reviewers keep naming her directly — this is a one-person, hands-on operation, not a hand-off-to-a-crew outfit. The company says it's been in business nine years, working out of Malden, Massachusetts, and its focus so far is straightforward: interior painting, cabinet refinishing, and the trim and finish work that goes with a repaint. The clearest thread across its five recorded reviews is how much customers trust her with the fine detail. In a 2025 review, one customer had a studio apartment painted and called the crew professional and detail-oriented, adding that the space was left spotless when they finished. Another 2025 review described a full-house repaint after a remodel, with Liz personally handling the living area and two bedrooms and fielding what the customer called a lot of picky questions along the way. The deeper history runs back to late 2022, when three reviews in quick succession described larger jobs: a full second-floor repaint and a master bathroom redo in March, followed by kitchen cabinets that October, from a customer who called both the price and the quality strong. Another 2022 review described kitchen cabinets, first-floor walls, new trim throughout, and a kitchen backsplash installed in the same visit, with the customer calling the work affordable. There isn't a documented job between late 2022 and early 2025, so the five reviews on file span two clusters rather than a steady, continuous stream — worth knowing going in, even though nothing in either cluster is anything but positive. On Thumbtack, where all nine of its ratings live, the account holds a perfect 5.0 average and is background-checked. Beyond straight repaints, it also lists decorative faux-finish and texture-coating work as services, though the reviewed jobs so far are standard interior and cabinet painting rather than decorative finishes. For a detail-heavy interior repaint — cabinets, trim, a room that needs real attention rather than a fast roll-and-go — Expert Painting & Home Improvement has a consistent, if not high-volume, record to point to. Confirm current availability and, if decorative or faux-finish work is what you want, ask to see examples of that specifically, since the reviewed history doesn't cover it.
