# HC Pro Painting Inc. **Trade:** House Painting · **Address:** 151 North St, Salem, MA 01970, USA · **Phone:** (978) 210-4696 · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.8/5** (low confidence) — from 5 reviews across 2 sources. A 0–5 star rating built from what customers and the public say (every review and mention weighted by where it was posted, how old, how detailed and how credible it is, shrunk toward a 3.5★ baseline when evidence is thin) plus what the record shows (Reddit recommendations or warnings, a registry-verified licence, how recently they were reviewed, customer work photos, BBB grade, negative news, a revoked licence). Positive record counts only as far as the reviews have earned it; penalties count in full. Confidence describes how much weighted evidence stands behind the number, never the number itself: low when fewer than about five normal reviews' worth of weight (or mentions only) support it, medium up to about twenty, high beyond that across at least two sources. An operator flag for a suspicious review pattern caps a rating at 3.5★ and marks it low. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read HC Pro Painting is a Salem, MA company run by Hailton Chaves, and its short Google record so far leans heavily on two things: painting and power washing, often on the same job. In a February 2026 review, a homeowner hired the company for a basement remodel that included staining and painting two sets of stairs, calling the result flawless and the timeline quick. Power washing shows up as a recurring add-on rather than a separate line of business. An October 2025 review described a whole-house power wash where the crew stayed focused on not damaging the siding, then patched and painted trouble spots they found along the way. An April 2025 review told a similar story from a repeat customer: Hailton was hired to paint a deck, ended up power washing the entire house while the deck dried, came back the next morning to finish the deck and swap out a couple of worn boards, and was later brought back to paint the full interior of a three-bedroom home. Two other reviews from that same month praised the finish quality directly — attention to surface prep and a clean final coat — and Hailton's own responsiveness and pricing. The record is short and entirely from Google over the past year and a half, with no complaints on file yet. For interior or exterior painting with power washing or minor prep work bundled in, the early reviews point to a company worth getting a quote from. **Strengths:** - Repeat customer — hired back for multiple projects - Surface prep — power washing done without damage - Fair pricing — called reasonable in a 2025 review ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Google shows a 5★ average from 5 ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://maps.google.com/?cid=9318342524879747658&g_mp=CiVnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLkdldFBsYWNlEAIYBCAA) — “Google: 5★ from 5 ratings” - In a February 2026 review, a customer described staining and painting two sets of basement stairs as part of a remodel, calling the finish flawless and the work timely _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT21oNU1uUmxWbmRLV0hCUU1YTnpkVVIwVWtKMk4xRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x81516727dadfba4a!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOmh5MnRlVndKWHBQMXNzdUR0UkJ2N1E%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ I hired HC pro painting for help with a basement remodel at my home and was very pleased with the work.
