Lou's Painting Company is a Stoneham outfit run by owner Luiqson "Lou" Sampaio — reviewers also write Luis and Louis — doing residential and commercial interior and exterior painting plus cabinet refinishing across Stoneham and Greater Boston. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, and on Google it carries a 4.9-star rating across 182 ratings. The reviews describe more than paint going on walls. A 2025 review recounts staining the exterior of a 1710 home, calling it "not just a basic paint job"; another 2025 review describes replacing rotted trim boards with PVC that should outlast wood. The crew also repairs and replaces window trim damaged by rot as part of an exterior repaint, and a 2025 review covers painting interior trim on more than 30 new-construction windows plus two exterior doors. Cabinet work shows up too — kitchen and bathroom cabinets refinished start to finish, and one recent job involved stripping a poorly applied ceramic coating (Rhinoshield) off shingles and repainting them. Several customers describe coming back: one 2025 review notes Lou "will be doing our lower level next" after a first-floor repaint, and another says the homeowner hired Lou for their house after he'd already painted the interior of their business. A 2025 review calls the pricing reasonable and notes the crew is insured; another describes a quote that included trim and siding repairs upfront rather than as a change order. The record on file runs from April 2025 through July 2026 — 28 reviews, all five stars except one four-star condo repaint that still describes the crew as polite and professional with no stated complaint. Anyone booking exterior work that involves rotted wood or trim, not just paint, should confirm upfront what repair work is included versus billed separately.
Lou’s Painting Company in Stoneham, MA did an amazing job painting my home in Melrose, MA! Their exterior painting work completely transformed the look of my house, and they went above and beyond by repairing and replacing damaged window trim caused by rot. They also power washed the walkway to remove lichen, leaving the entire property looking clean and refreshed. From the first estimate to the final walkthrough, Lou was professional, punctual, and easy to work with. He arrived on time, listened carefully to my needs, explained different options, and provided a detailed and reasonable estimate. He was flexible with scheduling and worked around my timeline while I completed another backyard project. The quality of work was excellent. Lou’s Painting Company was neat, thorough, and paid close attention to every detail. They truly care about customer satisfaction and delivering professional results. I highly recommend Lou’s Painting Company for house painting, exterior painting, interior
Lou and his team did a phenomenal job painting our house. Lou was a great to work with - he's a great communicator and made sure absolutely everything was done to our liking, including coming back for a touch-up that we found after the project was finished. His pricing was very fair and the results look great. Highly recommend working with Lou!
Lou and his crew did amazing work on my home. My house had poorly applied thick ceramic paint (Rhinoshield) in a color I despised and he gave me comfort that he could clean it up the shingles condition and paint over them and make it look amazing. He really delivered. I’m so happy with the new color. I feel like it’s a new house! I also had a lot of detail work that his crew took their time with, including painting my portico roof, front door, and mechanical screen. They really went above and beyond to make sure I was happy. I’ve since asked for quotes on some interior painting work because of the quality and price he can offer. Highly recommend!
My wife and I recently had the exterior of our house painted by Lou’s Painting Company and we couldn’t be more happier that we chose them! I originally chose Lou’s to quote the job because of the exceptional job they did painting the interior of my place of business. Lou’s made every step of job, from the beginning quote to the finishing touches, a breeze to work with. Our house is old, 126 years old to be exact, and we had numerous cracked and rotted wood shingles. Lou provided a carpenter to expertly replace these. And, speaking of the carpenter, each and every one of Lou’s workers were the most politest, friendliest, accommodating and attention to detail thorough workers that my wife and I ever had the pleasure to deal with. They arrived early to work each day, seemed to be happily doing their job and always cleaned up after themselves each day. Speaking of the quote, the price was great! Lou’s was much lower than the other quotes we received, and he completed the job for the price he quoted. There were no additional charges that popped up during the job. All said, a great price, a job professionally done, and a breeze and stress free to work with! My wife and I highly recommend Lou’s Painting Company for a truly Five Star experience!
Guys were in and out in a few days and the place looks brand new.
