Flores Carpentry & Painting

Flores Carpentry & Painting is a Somerville, MA outfit run by Onan Flores, offering carpentry and custom woodwork alongside interior and exterior painting and general remodeling for homes and small businesses. The company describes itself as a general contractor handling additions, kitchens, and bathrooms as well as trim and paint work, and says it has been operating for about a decade. Its Google page shows a 3.7-star average from six ratings, but the only two reviews that come with actual text are both critical: one flags being overcharged for painting work that came out subpar, with customer service that went quiet afterward; the other flags repeated phone calls that simply went unanswered. Elsewhere online the picture flips — a couple of business-directory listings carry testimonials describing Onan and his crew as professional and easy to work with, though those aren't tied to a dated, verifiable review the way the Google complaints are. The company holds an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (#215731), which is worth confirming directly before signing anything. Given the overcharging complaint on record, it's reasonable to ask for a clear, itemized estimate up front and to nail down expectations on responsiveness during the job. With only six total ratings and two written reviews, there isn't yet a long or consistent track record here — the record that does exist is thin and pulls in two different directions, so a homeowner sizing this contractor up for trim, carpentry, or paint work should lean on references and a written scope of work rather than the star average alone.
