Verified record
Farah Painting Co. is a Dorchester, Massachusetts painting and light contracting company that has served the greater Boston area for over 37 years, owned by Mohamed Farah and holding a verified active Home Improvement Contractor license (#122356). In reviews spanning 2018 to 2021, homeowners consistently described the crew as prompt, professional, and fairly priced. In a 2019 review, one customer said Farah's bid was significantly lower than competitors and praised the team's responsiveness and the finished look of the house, though they noted the painters were a little sloppy with paint near foundation plantings. In 2018 reviews, other customers described the work as completed early, with fair quotes and smooth communication. The business specializes in interior and exterior painting, plus related carpentry, plastering, and repair work, and offers free estimates. Homeowners planning exterior work near landscaping should ask the crew to cover valuable plants, since that is the one recurring criticism in an otherwise strongly positive, decades-long track record.

Prompt, quick availability and very professional. I would use them again.
I got 3 bids, and theirs was significantly lower than the others. I'm usually suspicious of low bids, and often don't choose the lowest, but I had a good feeling about them, and I wasn't disappointed. Most important, they were really nice people to work with. They tried very hard to please me, and were very responsive to anything I asked of them. And my house looks really nice. I've gotten many compliments about it. The only criticism I could make is that they were a little sloppy with the paint. If you have any valuable plants along the foundation, I'd make sure they are covered.
We really liked working with Farah Painting. They responded promptly and got the job done. The painters were very kind, courteous and hard working. My husband and I had a very tough time getting a response and a good price and Farrah provided both. We've already recommended them to a neighbor.
