Golsmith Painting LLC

Seventy-five Google ratings, and the average is a flat 5.0. What the people who hired Golsmith Painting keep describing, though, isn't the finish coat — it's everything that happens before it. Golsmith is a Fitchburg painting company, and one name runs through nearly every review: Rey. A customer in July 2026 got an estimate the day they called, and when a rainout freed up the schedule, the owner and a second painter were in the house the next morning, texting updates while the customer was at work. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active — number 207571, in the company's own name. The written history runs back to 2015: 61 reviews across eight sites, 5.0 from 75 ratings on Google, 4.8 from 16 on Thumbtack, 5.0 from 7 on Houzz, with eight posted in the last six months and none of them negative. The specifics repeat in a useful way. In March 2026 a homeowner who'd been left with a previous painter's imperfections hired them to fix it, and came back describing sharp lines, properly finished trim and clean window edges. In January 2026 another had walls ruined by old wallpaper paste skim-coated and sanded, and made a point of saying the sanding left no dust to clean up. Exterior work reads the same: scraping and priming before paint on a mid-century house in May 2025, and again on a full exterior in July 2025. Two things to pin down before booking. Rey isn't holding a brush on every job — in November 2024 a painter named Mike did a project start to finish over a weekend while Rey checked in, and customers in 2024 and 2025 name Ryan on their crews. And when a June 2025 family-room job called for a built feature wall, Rey engaged a carpenter for that part rather than doing it in-house, so if your project has real carpentry in it, ask who is doing it and what's in the price. They also pick up small extras: one July 2026 customer had some handyman work knocked off while the painting was underway, and a realtor in April 2025 credited a full interior, exterior and deck repaint with getting a client's house sold. If what you want is a repaint where the preparation is the point — walls that need skim coating, siding that needs scraping, trim someone else botched — this is the shape of company these customers describe.
