Eighty-three Google ratings, and every one of them is five stars — a clean sheet that's rare even among well-reviewed painters. JC Painting Service Inc. works the area north and west of Boston, painting home interiors and exteriors, and the crew is built around Jonathan Coelho, whom customers call Jonathan, Johnny, or John interchangeably and describe running a family-owned operation. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, verified directly with the state, and held in the company's own name.
What sets these reviews apart from generic praise is how specific they get about the actual work. One customer whose first contractor left visible paint streaks, roller marks, and spilled paint across a vinyl deck brought Jonathan in to fix it — he and an assistant finished the kitchen and bathroom repaint in three days, work the previous crew couldn't complete in two months across four attempts. Another describes an old plaster ceiling torn out, joists replaced, new lights installed, and the living room's walls and trim repainted, the whole job wrapped in under two weeks. The painting work regularly turns into carpentry: drywall repair, ceiling reconstruction, trim, crown molding, and replacing rotted wood come up again and again alongside the paint.
The last six months alone brought twelve five-star reviews and no negative ones, and the pattern matches the older record: floors and doors covered before work starts, a site swept clean at the end of each day. One repeat customer had the crew back over several projects for interior and exterior painting, crown molding, and a full master bath renovation.
There isn't much to flag here. No lapsed license, no unresolved complaint, nothing resembling a pattern of trouble — the closest thing to friction in the record is a short non-English review with nothing specific to check against. Still worth asking directly what an estimate covers: a couple of reviewers mention Jonathan bringing in a plumber or electrician to finish out a job, useful to know if the work reaches beyond paint and drywall.
For a straightforward interior or exterior repaint — especially one that might also need some drywall, trim, or ceiling work along the way — this is a crew with a long, consistent, state-verified track record behind it.
