Hernandez painting and carpentry

Hernandez Painting and Carpentry works out of Saugus and covers the North Shore into southern New Hampshire, doing the kind of job where the two trades in its name overlap — a deck that needs building and finishing, trim that needs replacing before a room gets repainted, a kitchen that needs both new cabinetry and a fresh coat. The company says it's been at this 15 years, and the name is a fair description of what it actually does: reviews split close to evenly between painting and carpentry work. Across 44 reviews going back to 2022, the pattern barely changes. Its 47 Google ratings average a full 5 stars, and the nine most recent reviews, all from the first half of 2026, don't include a single negative one. Recent jobs read the same way each time: composite decking installed cleanly, siding put up by a crew an Andover customer said stayed 'on top of the work process,' and exterior surfaces sanded and primed before two coats went on. One reviewer after a cabinet-painting and floor-prep job put it plainly — Hernandez 'may not be the cheapest contractor,' but the crew protected floors, sanded cabinets without being asked, and kept communication easy throughout. Another described a full Brighton kitchen remodel — cabinetry, painting, and carpentry work together — finished on time with materials the homeowner called good quality. One thing worth asking about upfront: that same recent review flags Hernandez as not the lowest bid around, so a comparison quote is worth getting if price is the deciding factor. Its Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license, number 217297, is active with the state. Separately, one directory listing (jobjeeves.com) shows a Lynn, MA address rather than the Saugus one on the company's own site — likely a stale or duplicated listing rather than a second office, but worth a quick call to confirm rather than assume. For a homeowner juggling a paint job and a carpentry fix at the same time — trim, a deck, or cabinetry alongside interior or exterior painting — this is a crew built for exactly that overlap, with a four-year record that holds up without a single documented complaint.
