A January 2025 Angi reviewer described Hatem Haridy and a colleague painting ceilings, walls and crown molding in three rooms, plus a high entryway and stairwell. The customer praised their meticulous work and reliability, identifying Haridy as For Finish Painting's owner. The Acton painting business says it has been operating for 25 years and focuses on interior and exterior painting with careful surface preparation. The older customer stories go into the preparation itself. In a May 2014 review, a homeowner with peeling exterior paint described Hatem proposing better surface preparation, an oil-based primer and two finish coats. The homeowner liked the finished appearance but explicitly said only time would tell whether the treatment would succeed. The earlier paint failure was attributed to a previous painter. In an August 2013 review, another customer said Hatem and his crew sanded the home's shakes and replaced those he considered unsound. That painting job took three weeks instead of the planned week; the customer said the quoted price stayed unchanged. Other dated accounts describe work beyond painting walls. The same August 2013 customer reported a finished 900-square-foot basement and staining of a deck and back porch. A September 2012 reviewer described a large deck being power washed and stained, with Hatem correcting the customer's chosen stain color after work was stopped. In March 2012, a customer reported paneling removal and new drywall in a living room, alongside preparation work, a reasonable quoted price and completion within the quoted time. An April 2014 reviewer described power washing the roof, house and patio and painting the exterior, with completion within four days and careful cleanup. An October 2015 customer said unexpected carpentry repairs were completed with permission for a small additional charge.

My husband and I were incredibly pleased with the high-quality of work done by Hatem Haridy, the owner of For Finish Painting. He and his colleague painted my ceilings, walls and crown molding trim in 3 rooms plus 25? high entry way / stairwell. Their work was absolutely meticulous!! They were also both super courteous, professional, and very reliable. Feel free to reach out to me for more detailed feedback.
We requested an estimate, and it was provided quickly. The job was designed by the owner and executed by the hard-working crew who made the best of some pretty sketchy autumn weather. When some unexpected peripheral carpentry repair was needed, it was accomplished by them with our permission, at a very minimal extra cost. The results of this project have exceeded our expectations!
I had a specific problem with peeling paint on the exterior of my house. The last painter I hired did a poor job and the paint peeled in less than 3 years. Hatem offed some solutions: better preparation of the surface, an oil base primer, and two coats of finish. In addition and at no extra cost he applied a substance after the primer to make for a better adhesion. Only time will tell if his efforts succeed. I have a great deal of confidence in his professional judgment and the in competence of his crew. The paint job is beautiful. Hetem was friendly easy to work with.
Hatam and his team were very professional, courteous, and fast. They powerwashed our roof, house, patio, and painted the exterior, all done with care. They were finished within 4 days and the house looks excellent. They were meticulous about their cleanup as well. Would highly recommend and will definitely use them again if we need a paint job in the future.
My husband and I hired For Finish Painting to paint the outside of our home, our deck, and finish our basement. Hatem (the owner) stayed personally involved with every aspect of each project. Beginning with the paint job: we have hired painters in the past who just blasted color over color and the paint began to peel almost immediately. Hatem and his crew sanded every shake down to new condition and also replaced shakes he was not comfortable with the condition of. The paint job was slated to take one week and because of his dedication to perfection took three weeks. Although I'm sure this caused problems with his schedule, Hatem is more concerned with doing the job correctly than he is in keeping his schedule easy on himself. He also never changed the quoted price or even mentioned that the job cost him more than he thought to begin with. He is dedicated to doing the job right and making the customer happy. Because of this initial display of professionalism, my husband and I hired him and his crew to finish our 900 square foot basement and to stain our deck and back porch. They did a fabulous job and we will be continuing our relationship to include a carport and a new driveway. Thank you Hatem and crew for your dedication to making Tewksbury and the surrounding areas a more beautiful place to live.
