JS Painting/Sargent Home Improvement serves Southern Massachusetts from Raynham with residential and commercial painting and remodeling. The company’s site describes it as a licensed remodeling specialist, fully insured, and a Harvey Authorized Dealer. A June 2026 Google reviewer praised the crew as friendly, reliable, reasonable, and dependable about showing up. An August 2023 reviewer described a sharply different experience, alleging an overinflated quote, pressure for a large deposit, intimidation, and being overcharged by thousands. That older complaint is specific enough to discuss before booking; ask for a written scope, price, deposit terms, and how disputes are handled.
Have used on my personal home and business. Always super friendly, easy to talk to, reliable, always show up when they say and reasonable. The guys who work for him are just as great. Love the crew. Thank you
Negative stars if that was an option!! Do not hire!!!! What a tool!! Jim is as shady as they come. Totally been had by this scumbag. Ripped me off by thousands of dollars. When he presented his overinflated quote to me, I told him I needed to think about it, he was pissed!! He was intimidating me in my own house!!!! He was really mad and determined not to leave until he got a huge deposit from me. I was wicked nervous and uncomfortable, because I was alone in my house with this monster. Looking back now, he was trespassing, he was committing a crime because I wanted him to leave my house and he wouldn’t. I should have called the police and had him arrested. It was that bad. I gave him the deposit just to get him out of my face. Doesn’t he cash the check before the ink dries. So I went forward with the job since he had half my life savings. His guys came to paint my house, THREE MONTHS LATER, not bad until I noticed some sloppy areas, and streak marks where I can see the original paint color. Paint on my wood floors. Missed a huge spot on the exterior of my house. I had to paint it myself because there is no way in hell I’ll ever contact this d-bag again. Paint drops on my paver walkway. Wonder what else I’ll find wrong. Just to really send it home. I did some research on Jim. Not only is he not a member of the Better Business Bureau as he claims on his website, he had a significant complaint against him with the BBB, eerily similar to my experience. Shop around for other painters. There are plenty, way better and honest workers out there. I learned the hard way and hopefully can save any readers from a years worth of stress and sleepless nights.
