A customer who had Freire Painting paint their house twenty years ago had the same crew back to paint it again in 2026, and said in a June 2026 review that it hadn't needed painting in between. Freire Painting & Restoration is a small Lowell shop — three employees on its BBB profile — run by Levy Freire, who the company's site says started out in 2003 as a subcontractor for a painting company in Concord and now runs it as a family business. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. Rehiring is the thread through the reviews, which carry a 5-star Google average across 22 ratings. One homeowner has used them on a historic house for interior and exterior painting and repairs since 2017 and wrote in March 2026 that the crew leaves the place in good shape. Another said the same month that they had done several jobs, most recently painting the house and adding some updates to the front. A third described every room painted after the house had been rented for three years, with samples put up on the wall and changes made quickly when asked. The details people bother to mention are the practical ones. A January 2026 reviewer said the job came in right at the estimate and finished on time, with no splashes or drips anywhere. In a June 2024 review, a homeowner whose exterior had been painted the year before said Levy sent a photo and an explanation of every repair he suggested along the way. Several reviewers call the pricing reasonable and the arrival times reliable. The work reaches past paint. A June 2026 customer credited the crew with stripping very old wallpaper and painting a kitchen, then building outside stairs and adding lattice; another had crown and picture molding installed. The company's own site also lists deck and fence staining, drywall repair, power washing, wood restoration and brick and masonry restoration. Its BBB file dates to 2003 and the bureau grades it A+, though the business is not BBB-accredited. For interior or exterior painting on an older Lowell-area home — especially one that wants some carpentry or wood repair before the primer goes on — this is a crew homeowners here keep calling back. Get the scope and estimate in writing and settle which repairs are included before day one, and if you want colors sampled on the wall first, say so up front; more than one reviewer described that happening before the work began.
Levy Freire and his team are unmatchable in their excellence. They painted my house 20 years ago, and they just painted it again in 2026. Hard to believe that my house didn't need painting for 20 years, but that's how good they are. My husband and I were out of state when our home was being painted, and we came home to a showplace. They repaired places on the the overhang that were rotted, installed a beautiful new wooden gate, and installed grillwork under the porch. Most painters would have just installed the grillwork, but Levy and his team put up a frame and attached the lattice with screws so it can be removed if anyone needed to get under there to repair a pipe or whatever. Oh also, the bottoms were falling out of my window boxes and Levy repaired and painted those!! Levy also installed the most beautiful closet doors in my bedroom and hallway. We had folding doors, and he replaced those with beautiful sliding doors. Since we weren't home for months, we trusted him to pick out the doors himself. We are absolutely thrilled. In 2012 Levy painted my kitchen cabinets. You would think the cabinets came that way; the paint job is perfect. On of the most important things to me is working with people who care about the people they are doing work for. Levy is caring and will treat your home or business as his own. He takes pride in what he does. And he should...because he is the best of the best!!! If I could give Levy 100 stars I would!!!
Levy always does an excellent job whether its painting, carpentry or construction. He has removed very old wallpaper and painted my kitchen, built outside stairs and added lattice to the sides. Always on time, reasonably priced and I have been well satisfied with his work. Absolutely giving him the highest rating possible. He has done a great deal of remodeling and I have never been disappointed.
Freire Painting did an amazing job at my parents house. They were in and out and end results looks amazing. Highly recommend them for any type of paint job you have.
I've trusted Freire painting for interior/exterior painting and repairs on my historic house since 2017. Levy, the owner, is knowledgeable, reliable and reasonable. He and his crew are great workers and leave my place in fantastic shape. I can always rely on them for quality work.
Freire Painting has completed several jobs for us. Recently they painted our home while adding some beautiful updates to the front to make it stand out. They are always reliable, professional, honest and reasonable priced. They have exceeded our expectations and will be our first call for future projects. Thanks Levi!
