Farah Painting

One homeowner came to Farah Painting already braced for a catch: writing in May 2019, they said they are usually suspicious of low bids and often don't choose the lowest, but Farah's was the lowest of the three quotes they collected and they took it anyway — and weren't disappointed. What stuck with them, they wrote, was that these were really nice people to work with. Mohamed Farah's company paints interiors and exteriors out of Dorchester and describes itself as a painting and light contracting outfit serving greater Boston for over 20 years, naming Dorchester, South Boston, Jamaica Plain, Back Bay and Roxbury among the neighborhoods it covers. Its BBB profile, graded A+ though not accredited, puts the business at 37 years. BuildZoom lists a Home Improvement Contractor licence, #122356, for the company. The written history here is a dated one: seven Angi reviews running from July 2018 to January 2021, averaging 4.7. Four of those seven turn on the same thing — showing up. "Prompt, quick availability and very professional," one June 2019 customer wrote; a second that month called the crew fast, clean and professional. A December 2018 homeowner, who said she and her husband had a very tough time getting a response and a good price, wrote that Farah provided both. The August 2018 account is the fullest: the crew arrived on time, finished early and, as that customer put it, didn't leave any paint where it shouldn't be. Mr. Farah met them right away with a fair quote. A July 2018 customer described the three young men who did the work in their home as professional, very helpful and very nice to work with. Angi's own profile notes one review that flagged sloppy paint overspray near plants — the opposite of what that 2018 customer praised. Before the first coat, settle who covers beds, shrubs, walkways and furniture, and what the end-of-day cleanup includes. For a straightforward interior or exterior repaint around Dorchester and the nearby Boston neighborhoods, where a punctual, polite crew and a sharp price matter more than a long paper trail, Farah is a sensible call. Ask for a reference from the past year or two, since the accounts you can read run from 2018 to 2021, and get the masking and cleanup written into the quote.
