Golini Painting is Evan Golini's interior and exterior painting business, based in Reading and family-rooted in the trade — Evan grew up working with his father and uncle at their contracting company before earning a fine arts degree and starting his own painting business in 2007. Reviews describe repeat clients who keep calling him back. In a February 2026 review, a longtime customer said Evan and his team have completed several projects for them over five years, from patching after electrical work to a full interior repaint. In another February 2026 review, a homeowner said Evan came out promptly for a basement and stairway wall repair, offering specific advice on painting versus staining the handrails and finishing the job to a pristine standard. The reviews describe careful, detail-heavy work on difficult surfaces. In a June 2025 review, a customer in a 100-year-old fixer-upper said Evan's team removed old wallpaper residue and repaired damaged wainscoting, offering DIY tips along the way. In a July 2024 review, a customer said neighbors commented on the detail of the exterior prep work, and Evan kept them updated on scheduling around the weather. In a January 2023 review, a customer said the crew painted extremely old kitchen cabinets that came out looking brand new and smoothed out the walls before painting them. Other reviews describe larger or trickier jobs handled cleanly and on schedule. In a January 2024 review, a customer said a bathroom repaint, including the ceiling, was completed perfectly, on time, and under budget. In a January 2023 review, a customer said a 17-foot repaired ceiling and sunroom were finished in a single day with impeccable cleanup. In a May 2023 review, a customer said Evan's team handled cathedral ceilings and odd angles perfectly. Every one of the 40 reviews on file, spanning 2021 through early 2026, is five stars, and several reviewers say they've hired Golini more than once over the years. For an interior repaint, an exterior job, or painting work on an older home with tricky surfaces and odd angles, Golini's near two-decade track record of specific, repeat-customer reviews makes it an easy contractor to trust — ask about scheduling for a smaller job, since most of the reviews describe multi-day projects covering full rooms or whole houses.

“Have used Evan on repeated occasions over the years. He has always been responsive and provided excellent results inside our house. The place actually seems cleaner when he leaves.”
Evan was great. He is a pro. Came out promptly to look at the job—wall repair and paint to a basement and stairway, made great suggestions about painting vs. staining options for handrails, and did a pristine job. He is a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend his company!
I don't often post reviews, but Evan and his team have more than earned it. Evan and his team have completed several projects for me over the past 5 years - everything from patching after the electrician came to a full interior house repainting. They come on time, they work clean and the pricing is more than fair and reasonable compared to other local companies. Evan is one of the few contractors I can recommend without hesitation.
Evan and his team were fantastic! Super detailed, careful with every step, and very flexible to work with. The results were flawless. Would absolutely hire them again!
Evan and his crew recently painted a bedroom and several peeling ceilings in our home, and we are extremely pleased with the results. The team members were polite, hardworking, and very neat. We truly enjoyed meeting and dealing with Evan. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and patient in answering our questions. His quote was prompt and detailed, and the pricing was competitive. We highly recommend Evan and will definitely call him for any future painting jobs!
We love our newly painted house. Evan (the owner) was so informative (and even gave us DIY tips for our 100 year old fixer upper.) Him and his team did a fantastic job removing wall paper residue from walls, and fixing up our very old and very damaged wainscoting. And what made things even better -- he was the BEST price out of all our options -- and also the most responsive and quick to (accurately) quote for the job. There were no surprises, only great service and a beautifully painted walls, fireplace, and wainscoting.
