Verified record
Greg Painting is a small East Boston outfit with only three reviews on record, so there isn't much of a track record to go on. Two reviews, from 2021 and 2023, describe careful, detail-oriented work — one an old house's exterior scraped and repainted with tarps to contain the debris, the other patch work so clean the reviewer couldn't find the seams. The third review, also from 2023, is a serious one: the reviewer says the business's driver and owner committed a hit-and-run and used racial slurs against the other driver, calling the company extremely unprofessional. That isn't a complaint about paint quality — it's an allegation about the owner's conduct — and it sits alongside a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration the state registry shows as expired; this business isn't in the interior-only category Massachusetts exempts from registration, since its own reviews describe exterior work. The Better Business Bureau lists an A+ grade but also places the company in Revere rather than East Boston, and shows no accredited status or review history of its own. With just three reviews total, one describing a serious incident unrelated to painting quality, this is a business worth researching further before hiring — confirm current licensing and get more references rather than relying on this thin record alone.

Greg did a wonderful job with some paint work in our home - you can't even tell where the new patches are. He and his colleague also did a nice job of cleaning up and putting everything back where it was.
Driver/owner of the business committed a hit and run. Used racial slurs against the other driver. Would not recommend using their services. Extremely unprofessional.
Greg was great! He came highly recommended from a friend. He was very easy to communicate with. He showed up on time, did a fantastic job and his crew was wonderful. We have a very old house and he scraped and painted the exterior. His guys were great at putting down tarps to keep the scraping contained and the final product was fantastic. It’s so nice to have our house finally finished. He even did a little extra for us. We will definitely be using him again.
