FL Painting & Carpentry, run by Fernando Lopez out of Rowley, has built a striking, unbroken run of five-star reviews — 39 on Google — anchored by one recurring theme: prep work most other painters skip. Multiple reviewers describe crews scraping and sanding paint down to bare wood or bare shingles rather than painting over what's there, and several say it's the most thorough job they've had in decades of owning a house. The company, which self-reports 22 years in business, does both painting and carpentry side by side — repairing rotted siding, trim, soffits, and even old casement doors — which shows up again and again in reviews of century-old homes. A November 2025 review described an extensive rebuild of trim and soffits on an 1850s Victorian; a July 2024 review said the crew treated their 1887 house "with respect and care" after 50 years of ownership and previous painters; and an October 2025 review of an 1890 Victorian praised both the reshingling and the paint prep as "top notch." As recently as June 2026, a customer combining carpentry and exterior painting reported no bad surprises and a crew that was always available to answer questions. Repeat business shows up often: an October 2024 review noted this was the customer's third time having the house painted in 20 years, and a May 2026 review said the customer had already used FL Painting twice. Crews are consistently described as clean — tarping work areas and clearing debris daily — and communicative, with Fernando himself frequently on-site to supervise and answer questions. Beyond core painting and carpentry, the company's site also lists gutter installation and repair, power washing, and general remodeling for towns across the North Shore and Boston metro area. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor license (195473) is verified active. There's nothing negative on record across 27 reviews spanning 2024 to 2026 — the main thing worth confirming before booking is scheduling, since demand from repeat customers and neighborhood word-of-mouth appears strong.
Professionals who will do a great job and will go to great extents to satisfy their costumer needs. Clean, reliable, great work.

I've used FL Painting twice now. They painted my old shingle siding and repaired a fair amount of rotting wood and other miscellaneous issues while painting. I called them back recently to fix some safety hazards on my deck and stairs. They understood the urgency with these issues especially since I have tenants with kids. They came quickly and finished the project in about a day. They did a wonderful job with both projects and will be the only company I call moving forward for all my contracting needs. Ontop of their great work, they are also great with communication which is a huge bonus for me. I've had some bad luck in the past with contractors, but have had zero complaints or issues with FL Painting.
FL Painting and Carpentry did an amazing job on our home. Almost every neighbor stopped by to ask "where did you find these guys, they are great!" This Spring, they stripped old paint and did a ton of carpentry work to replace rotted siding. I appreciated the team's thoroughness from start to finish. They were prompt, communicative and most importantly (to me) very clean. Always removing/taking debris away with them daily. We have a little one that plays in the yard and that was really important to us! I plan to use this team again for some interior work. I could not be more pleased with the outcome and their professionalism.
Our house looks terrific! Sanded, scraped, washed, primed and painted with rollers and brushes. The team did an outstanding job. Great attention to detail. Highly recommend.
