Mauro's Painting

Mauro's Painting is a Somerville, Massachusetts interior and exterior painting company founded and run by Mauro Henrique, who states on the company's own site that he has 26 years of painting experience. Henrique has appeared nationally as a painting expert on the PBS series Ask This Old House, and the company says it won Boston Magazine's Best of Boston Home award in 2009 and Best of Boston in 2015. Homeowners who hired the crew between 2015 and 2020 consistently praised the same things: careful, detail-oriented work, crews that show up on time and clean up thoroughly each day, and color guidance from Henrique himself. In a 2016 Houzz review, a homeowner in West Medford described a full exterior restoration of a 1920 Colonial Revival — scraping, priming, patching, and repainting damaged shingles and trim — with the crew arriving at 7:30 sharp and leaving the yard organized every evening. Another 2016 review recounts carpentry and painting work on a 1911 Arts and Crafts home, including repairs to a garage door and a basement door. Several other reviewers from that period mention carpentry alongside the painting work — trim repair, porch rebuilding, and window insulation — suggesting the crew includes carpenters who handle related repairs on the same job. A 2020 Google review specifically calls out carpentry work the team completed as part of a painting project. The company's own site claims 26 years in business, while the Better Business Bureau lists 16 years for the Somerville location — worth asking Mauro's Painting to clarify when booking. It's also worth noting that the written reviews on file span 2015 through late 2020, so it's fair to confirm current crew size and scheduling before hiring. Mauro's Painting is a solid pick for homeowners who want a painting contractor comfortable handling some carpentry and repair work alongside the paint job itself, particularly on older homes — just confirm current availability and tenure details directly.
