Gonnella Painting & Restoration is a Brookline painting and restoration company run by Paul Gonnella, whose Massachusetts home improvement contractor license is verified active. The business paints residential and commercial interiors and exteriors and takes on restoration work — cabinet refinishing, crown molding and drywall repair, fascia replacement — for homes across Greater Boston. The volume here is unusual for a small painting company: 93 reviews since 2021, virtually all five stars, and Google alone shows 108 ratings averaging five. Recent reviews describe Paul finding a client's perfect paint color before scheduling a near-immediate start date, and a condo repaint where an electrician's rewiring had left more than 50 holes across the walls and ceilings — patched, per an August review, so thoroughly the client said you'd never know any had existed. A 2025 review describes a condo association project spanning wooden fascia replacement, exterior painting on two houses with four large decks, and interior painting of staircases and doors; a customer with over 30 years in the facilities and construction business, writing last summer, called a patch-and-paint job impeccable and on budget. Several reviewers describe Gonnella refinishing existing surfaces rather than replacing them — a spring 2026 review credited the team with restoring built-in cabinets in a living room, and a 2022 review described crown molding, drywall, and closet-shelving repair folded into a condo repaint in Chelmsford. In a 2024 review, one client said Paul spent over an hour walking the house during the initial consult and gave a quote on the spot. The business is based in Brookline but has taken on jobs well outside it — including that full condo renovation in Chelmsford — so it's worth confirming coverage for a specific town. A strong pick for anything from a single-room repaint to a multi-building exterior and restoration project.
I am so happy I found Gonnella Painting and am beyond thrilled with the service I received from this excellent company. Paul was so great to work with — extremely responsive and great about checking in and following up and answering questions. He helped me to find the perfect paint color for my project and once that was done, was able to schedule a near-immediate date for the job. The painting itself was flawless — all holes patched up and two coats applied with precision — and it really only took a few hours. Pricing was extremely fair and the whole experience was pleasant and stress-free. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Gonnella Painting again and wholeheartedly recommend Paul and his team.
Paul and his team were a dream to work with. Extremely professional and could not be happier with the results. Highly recommend and will be reaching out again for future projects.
I recently hired this company for a painting project and couldn't be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless — no surprises, no hiccups, just a beautifully executed job. Paul, the owner, was professional and knowledgeable from our very first conversation. You could tell right away that he brings real experience to his work — he asked the right questions, set clear expectations, and delivered on every one of them. The finished result speaks for itself. The work is clean, precise, and exactly what I envisioned. I'd recommend this team without hesitation to anyone looking for a painter they can truly trust.
I hired Gonnella Painting to paint the built-in cabinets in my living room and couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Paul Gonnella was great to work with from start to finish. Responsive, easy to communicate with, and really helpful in walking me through the whole process so I knew what to expect. His crew was professional and took good care prepping and sealing off the surrounding area before getting started. They were also flexible with scheduling, which I appreciated. The job was done quickly and the finished cabinets look fantastic. I'd highly recommend.
Outstanding experience overall from Paul and his crew. We needed a very quick turn around for a painting project and Paul was able to give us a very quick estimate at an extremely reasonable and competitive price. As first time home owners, Paul also walked us through every step of the process and was a phenomenal resource for other work the house may need in the future. Repairs for water damage on the wall were also seamless. Thank you so much!!!! Cannot recommend Gonnella painting enough!
