J & J Resnick Paint and Paper Hanging

J & J Resnick has been painting homes around Littleton and the Greater Springfield-Longmeadow area for decades — BBB puts its founding at 1985, incorporated as a corporation in 2010 under owner Jonathan Resnick. One reviewer, writing in 2020, described the business as a long-established, family-run operation founded by the late Julius Resnick and carried on by the Resnick family, with Jon and his sister running jobs together. The strongest thread across two decades of reviews is thoroughness on interior work. A 2013 review described a crew that moved furniture, covered floors, stripped wallpaper from two rooms, patched holes across five surfaces, and painted three full rooms — start to finish in one day. A 2019 review recounted J & J repainting faded, decade-old vinyl Anderson windows so well that, nine years later, the reviewer said they still looked brand new. Beyond straight painting, several reviews describe carpentry add-ons — a custom-fit molding repair and storm door installation in 2013, and two bathroom remodels alongside a closet build-out and an interior paint job in 2014 — suggesting the crew handles small build-outs as readily as a paint job. Not every account is glowing. A 2013 review, while noting some of the work was well done, described real errors — flat paint used where semi-gloss was specified — and said the crew failed to return as promised to fix cracks and touch-ups. Before calling, know two things. First, the Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration on file for this business (#178632) is verified expired with the state — confirm current licensing before signing anything. Second, the written record is dated: every review in hand runs from 2011 through late 2020, with a dozen of the newest clustering in a single week that August, and nothing filed since. The company's own profiles also disagree on how long it's been operating — Houzz's blurb claims 26 years of industry experience against BBB's 41 years in business — worth asking about directly.
