# Flores Carpentry & Painting **Trade:** Carpentry · **Address:** 50 Alston St #1, Somerville, MA 02143, USA · **Phone:** (617) 820-4683 · **Website:** https://www.florescarpentryandpainting.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 2.2/5** (low confidence) — from 2 reviews across 5 sources. ## The honest read Flores Carpentry & Painting is a Somerville general contractor that, by its own account, has spent ten years doing carpentry and custom woodwork, interior and exterior painting, ceramic tile work, and general remodeling for homes and businesses in the area. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. On Google, the company's overall rating sits at 3.7 stars across 6 ratings, but the two written reviews on file are both critical. One customer, in a review from late 2025, said they were overcharged for painting work they considered subpar and that they couldn't get a response from customer service afterward. Another, a few weeks earlier, said repeated calls to the company went unanswered. Those two accounts are the only detailed reviews available right now, and there isn't enough written detail yet to say how representative they are of the company's day-to-day work — the higher overall Google average suggests other customers rated the company well without leaving a written account. Anyone considering Flores Carpentry & Painting would do well to ask pointed questions about pricing and communication up front, and to get a written estimate before work begins. For carpentry, painting, or remodeling work in the Somerville area, Flores Carpentry & Painting carries an active state registration, but the two specific complaints on file are worth weighing against the limited written history available. **Strengths:** - Verified license — Massachusetts HIC registration is active **Concerns:** - Overcharge complaint — a 2025 review cited subpar painting work and no response - Unanswered calls — a 2025 review said repeated calls went unreturned ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Flores Carpentry & Painting holds an active Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration. _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://contractorhub.mass.gov/s/hic-contractor-search) — “MA hic license 215731 verified active” - The company's own website describes it as a Somerville general contractor offering carpentry and custom woodwork, interior and exterior painting, ceramic tile work, and remodeling for residential and commercial clients. _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://www.florescarpentryandpainting.com) — “A Somerville, MA general contractor offering carpentry/custom woodwork, interior and exterior painting, ceramic tile work, and remodeling fo…” - The company reports on its website that it has been in business for 10 years and serves the Somerville area. _(confidence: low)_ - [Official Website](https://www.florescarpentryandpainting.com) — “Self-reported 10 years in business” - [Official Website](https://www.florescarpentryandpainting.com) — “Stated service area (self-reported): Somerville” - Google shows a 3.7★ average from 6 ratings, though only two written reviews are on file, both critical. _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google](https://maps.google.com/?cid=11771505641572199352&g_mp=CiVnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLkdldFBsYWNlEAIYBCAA) — “Google: 3.7★ from 6 ratings” - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT25wZlVtb3dja2x4ZUVwblVXY3pZVTlSU21FdGEyYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xa35cca034d6aebb8!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOnpfUmowcklxeEpnUWczYU9RSmEta2c%7C%7C?hl=en) — “1★ Flores Carpentry & Painting overcharged me for subpar painting work, and their customer service is nonexistent.
