Verified record
Josh and Company Painting is a family-owned painting contractor in New Bedford, Massachusetts, listed on Angi and HomeAdvisor with eight years of experience and free estimates. Both profiles carry the same single review, from September 2019, a 4.5-star recommendation with no description of the job. That one line is the whole written customer record; nobody has described an interior or exterior painting project, pricing, or how the crew worked. One government action is on record: Good Jobs First's Violation Tracker lists a 2021 wage-and-hour violation against Josh and Company Painting, cited by the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, with a $6,096 penalty. The listing gives the year, agency, category and amount only. For a painting job on the South Coast, this is a small family shop with almost nothing on the public record. Ask for recent references and photos, confirm insurance and any Home Improvement Contractor registration against the state registry, and ask about the 2021 wage citation.
