Foxrock Painting is a family-owned Newton, MA company whose story, by its own account, began about 35 years ago under founder Jeff Haughton. These days project manager Gordon Haughton runs the jobs, and he's named directly in dozens of reviews — several homeowners say this is their second or even third time hiring the company. The exterior work reviewers describe most often is repainting older homes the hard way: scraping and prepping before a coat goes on, and bringing in a carpenter for rotted or damaged wood first. A 2024 review described a 19th-century Victorian where the crew worked through a delicate prep and scraping process, had a carpenter replace damaged wood, then coated the trim and siding; another 2024 review described a South Boston condo association where the crew replaced rotted window frames with PVC trim and repaired damaged clapboard. On the interior side, this spring one homeowner had a first floor repainted — walls, trim repairs and all — in three days after Gordon helped plan the colors, and another had a five-day whole-interior job finished right after closing on the house. Several reviews also describe multi-day exterior jobs with light carpentry worked in, including a duplex with narrow side and back access. Foxrock's Massachusetts home improvement contractor license, #191407, is active, and it carries a Better Business Bureau A+ grade. It's rated 5.0 stars across Google (146 ratings), Angi (67 ratings) and Houzz. Foxrock is a strong call for a full exterior repaint on an older triple-decker or Victorian, or a multi-day interior job where color planning and light carpentry are part of the work. On an older home, ask upfront about their lead-paint handling steps, and confirm the project timeline before signing on.
Exceptional service from Foxrock Painting. Quick free estimate. Easy and timely scheduling. Excellent painting job on 2 story house including carpentry work on several rotted or broken surfaces. Respectful and careful of property. Excellent communication throughout. Transformed the look of our house - started getting compliments from neighbors before job was even done. Highly recommended.
Foxrock transformed my home's exterior from an absolute mess to a marvelous sight to behold. They started by power washing away decades of grime and algae, followed by 3 days of methodically scraping lead-based paint into tarps for disposal before getting to the priming and painting. In addition to the brass tacks execution, Gordon was kind enough to help me select of color for my shutters (the picture is of him holding up a shutter against my house. He and the painting crew were also very professional, conscientious and neat. They put away their equipment every night, taking up as little space as possible. Highly recommend them!
I had Foxrock paint the inside and selected parts of the exterior this Spring. Great crew, beautiful work, courteous, friendly and respectful. Overall an outstanding outcome, I was very happy and satisfied with the work.
Foxrock painted the exterior of my house. Great experience all around. Professional deal with upfront and throughout the project. Competitive on price and quality was excellent. Would certainly recommend.
Foxrock painters did a fantastic job painting our first floor. The crew was always on time, worked hard all day and did an excellent job repairing and painting the walls and trim, all in three days! Gordon helped us make the plans and choose the colors ahead of time and the crew came in and seamlessly carried out the plan. I highly recommend Foxrock Painting!
