Fix&Paint Pros

Fix&Paint Pros is Tarik Elshrafi and a small crew, and in Salem the name that travels is his rather than the company's. When a Salem redditor asked in May 2024 about window replacement or repair, the answer was simply that "Tarik Elshrafi is a well known handyman in Salem, who does windows as well" — offered without prompting, in a thread about a completely different trade. That is the local reputation in one line. The written record is short but consistent. Both Thumbtack reviews date from mid-2024 and both are five stars. One customer, writing in August 2024, described minor scratch and paint repairs in a single room and noted that he drove two hours and came back the very next day. Another, in June 2024, wrote that he was "very motivated to provide excellent work quality and to understand the scope of the work and my expectations." The company describes itself as owner-operated with three employees and seven years in business, and shows 23 project photos. What's worth knowing is how thin that record still is: two reviews, both from 2024, on one platform, and nothing published since. The business is background-checked through Thumbtack, which is an identity check rather than a trade credential. A reasonable call for interior painting, cabinet work and small repairs around Salem, especially if you would rather deal directly with the owner. Ask for recent references, since the public record stops in 2024.
