MARQUES PAINTING

Nine straight 5-star Google ratings, and one name keeps coming up: Paulo. Marques Painting, based in Framingham, is a small painting operation homeowners hire for exterior staining, deck and porch repaints, and interior rooms — sheds, barns, decks, bathrooms, bedroom ceilings — with Paulo apparently on every job himself, and at least one customer says they've called him back for multiple projects. The reviews go past generic praise into real detail. One homeowner describes a full re-stain of 30-year-old red cedar shingles on a barn and garage: a two-part cleaning process, two coats of stain, and replacement of damaged shingles, door trim, and window molding, at what they called an affordable price. Another describes Paulo power-washing and repainting a screened porch and deck, replacing water-damaged floorboards, sanding the floor bare, and finishing with two coats of paint. A third recounts a bathroom, bedroom ceiling, and outside deck repainted with what the reviewer called great attention to detail. Communication comes up almost as often as the paintwork itself: reviewers describe Paulo as quick to respond from the initial quote through closeout, with his crew cleaning up well after finishing. Every review on file is five stars, and the praise holds across different kinds of jobs — staining, repainting, and the carpentry repairs that come with an old shingle or porch job — rather than resting on one standout project. It's a solid call for a Framingham-area repaint or a shingle and deck refresh; confirm scope and timeline directly with Paulo when you request a quote.
