Master Painting Company

Master Painting Company is a Marshfield sole proprietorship run by Philip Hammond, who describes himself as a fourth-generation painter; the company's site says it's been in business since 1986 (about 40 years), with 30 years in the trade. It works the South Shore, offering interior and exterior painting, carpentry repair, bathroom remodeling, window and door replacement, wallpapering, and power washing/restoration. The reviews lean heavily on repeat business: two describe working with "Phil" for close to a decade — one for house painting and kitchen cabinets, the other for several rooms — and both call him reliable and a good communicator. A recent review described a full house-and-barn repaint that included sanding and restoring shingles at least 40 years old, with the homeowner and their friends both impressed by the result. In a 2023 review, a customer named a partner, Frank, and praised the attention to detail from prep through the finishing touches. What to know: the state registry shows Master Painting Company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration as expired, not active — worth confirming directly before signing anything, since none of the reviews mention licensing or insurance. For interior or exterior painting with an owner who does the work personally and an established base of repeat customers, this is a reasonably documented option; just check current registration status first.
