## The honest read

J Pallarino Painting is a Norwalk painting company run by James Pallarino, and its written reviews, all on Angi and HomeAdvisor, date from 2015 to 2019. The company says it has been in business since 1983 and works towns from Stamford and Greenwich to Fairfield, Monroe and Trumbull.

The Angi accounts are detailed. In an April 2018 review, a homeowner described the foyer and hallways: new colors on chair rail molding, crown molding and doors, and sand-coated ceilings taken down through sanding, compound, primer and paint, with the crew cleaning up before leaving every day. A December 2016 customer said other painters called it too cold and too late in the season, but Pallarino said there was still time, the crew repaired and replaced rotted siding, and when the scope changed they stuck to the original estimate. In a June 2019 review, a repeat customer thought one area had been missed after a ceiling-crack repair job, and said James didn't hesitate to return.

Customers also wrote about long relationships: a December 2015 reviewer said they had used James for over 16 years, and an August 2016 customer said it was the third or fourth time they had used him to paint inside.

There is one mixed account. In a February 2018 Angi review, a customer said the job went ok, but when they mentioned the workers had not been on the job for a good part of the afternoon, the owner asked midway whether they wanted him to finish the job. A January 2018 customer said the original start date was pushed back a week or so.

Angi and HomeAdvisor each show 4.9 stars from 72 ratings.

Connecticut's registry shows its home improvement contractor license, HIC.0558946, as active.

**Strengths:**
- Prep-heavy interiors — a 2018 customer describes sand-coated ceilings sanded, primed and painted
- Held the estimate — a 2016 customer says the price stayed put when scope changed
- Repeat customers — a 2015 reviewer had used James for over 16 years

**Concerns:**
- Mid-job friction — a 2018 customer says the owner asked whether to finish the job
- Start date slipped — a 2018 customer says it was pushed back a week or so

- **Angi · Lin L. · 2019-08-01**: I have worked with many contractors throughout the years. I would definitely rank James one of the top contractors I have worked with. My wife was very picky about the color. James went out of his ways and adjusted color several times for us. His crew is very professional, keeping the surrounding ve…
- **Angi · John W. · 2019-06-01**: I used JPP a few years ago to paint the exterior of my house. They did a great job at a very fair price. Great staff. Recently, I had them repair & paint several ceiling cracks throughout the house as well as touch up areas on the exterior of the house. Upon inspecting the completed work, I thought …
- **Angi · Blake B. · 2018-04-01**: James and his crew were very professional in all aspects of their work. The foyer and hallways involved changing color of the chair rail molding, crown molding and doors. Multiple coats of paint (as well as primer) were required. All of the ceilings had been sand coated which we wanted removed. This…

- **Angi · Theresa C. · 2018-01-01**: The work went great! The duration of the project was about a week. We were not in a hurry and I scheduled the July work back in June. The original date scheduled was pushed back a week or so and that is the only reason for the B rating on punctuality. Again, we were not in a hurry so it didn't affec…
- **Angi · Lily G. · 2017-10-01**: stars. Outstanding! Extremely professional, unparalleled & thorough prep work, strong attention to details and excellent finish & follow-up.
