Verified record
Fix&Paint Pros is a Salem, MA painting business run by owner-operator Tarik Elshrafi — background-checked, seven years in business, with a small three-person crew. The two reviews on Thumbtack, both from 2024, describe a contractor who follows through: one customer needed some scratches and paint touched up and said Tarik drove two hours to get there the next day, calling the work professional and neat; another described him as timely and motivated to understand the full scope of the job before starting. Thumbtack lists interior and exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, deck staining and fence painting among the services offered, alongside a perfect 5-star record across those two ratings and 23 project photos. Separately, a 2024 Reddit poster in r/SalemMA described Tarik as a well-known local handyman who also takes on window work. With only two reviews on file, it's a thin but clean record so far — worth confirming current availability and getting a written scope for larger jobs.

“Tarik Elshrafi is a well known handyman in Salem, who does windows as well. I will PM you his info. (Not sure if this sub allows posting phone numbers)”
The guy is very nice and expert in painting and fixing. He provided a good practical solution to my problem. Very professional and neat work. Even though he had to drive for 2 hrs he came the very next day to fix some minor scratches and paint work. Highly recommended.
I found Tarik to be very professional and timely in his work. He was very motivated to provide excellent work quality and to understand the scope of the work and my expectations. I would highly recommend Tarik.
