Verified record
Iwano & Sons is an Everett, Massachusetts exterior and interior painting outfit that also picks up carpentry work along the way — replacing rotted trim, rebuilding a deck, the kind of job that comes up alongside a paint contract. The company says it has been in business since 2008, run by Gabriel Iwano, working Everett out toward Boston. The bulk of its written record is a string of five-star Angi reviews from 2018 through 2020: homeowners describe fast, detailed quotes and prompt visits, crews that tidied the work area at the end of each day, and painting jobs — including one where the crew replaced rotted wood they found along the way — that came in as promised. A 2018 deck remodel review specifically praised the carpenters as prompt and professional. Houzz shows a single five-star rating. The one account that stands apart is a 2023 review describing a very different outcome: a high-spec exterior paint job — scraping, power washing, priming, caulking, carpentry repairs, two coats — that the homeowner says started peeling and cracking within three years, with a blunt warning not to hire the company. It's the only written complaint on file, and it's also the newest one; nothing else has been posted since 2020, so the written record runs heaviest through 2018–2020 with just that single account since. Its BBB profile carries an A+ grade, though the company isn't BBB-accredited, and BBB shows no complaints or actions there — that's the Bureau's own tally, not a state license check. BuildZoom separately lists a license for the company alongside 19 projects and a score of 106. Iwano & Sons is a reasonable call for exterior or interior painting paired with related carpentry — deck work, rotted trim, the odds and ends around a paint job — especially given how specific the older reviews are. Given the age of most of that record and the one sharp complaint since, it's worth asking pointed questions about surface prep and any workmanship guarantee before signing.
Keep looking! Do not use! I hired Iwano and Sons for a high-spec paint job on my house. Scraping, power washing, priming, caulking, carpentry and repairs as needed, and 2 coats of California paint. The job was done, but in less than 3 years I had significant pealing and cracking on 3 sides of the house. 3 years is past the 2-year guarantee, but the level of failure experienced in such a short time should have been addressed. I brought it to Gabriels attention and offered to supply the paint and to address the first story issues myself. I just wanted the parts that required 2nd story work to be done with his labor. He agreed, BUT ONLY IF I PAID. I moved on from this supplier. In addition to this, when originally doing the job he did not address an area where rotting wood should have been replaced. Neglecting the repair at that time resulted in much more advanced damage and required more rework and with it more cost when it was addressed. I'll mention also that the carpentry was on a time and material basis and would not have cost him profit from the paint job. Doing the work would have been more revenue for him. Do not use this supplier. He does not do the work correctly and if it does fail, he does not stand behind his work.
Very professional quality work. I plan on hiring them again. Their quote was the most detailed of all the quotes I received. There was also some rotted wood that needed to be replaced and I was very happy with that as well.
Great experience painting was awesome working hard during trying weather at end of season. Terrific job done on our home.
Gabriel did a wonderful job! The carpentry work was excellent and we would work with them again in the future
Gabriel and his crew did an amazing job. I would definitely recommend them and use Iwano in the future.
