Michael Carr Painting and Wallpapering

Wallpaper is the thing here. Every review on file is a wallcovering job, and the one that tells you most was written in November 2025: a difficult pattern matched exactly, right down to a spot above a door the homeowners finished using the last ends of the roll. Her husband, she wrote, called it the best wallpapering job he had ever seen. Michael Carr works out of 269 Faneuil Street in Brighton, usually alongside an assistant named Jose. Both directory profiles self-report 31 years in the trade, and the listed services run wider than the reviews do: interior and exterior painting, power washing, and wallcovering or wallpaper install and replacement. The written history is short, and its shape matters. Angi and HomeAdvisor each publish a 5.0 — but it is the same four reviews on both sites, not eight separate opinions. Three were posted in November 2025 and one in August 2024. That 2024 customer, after a job she described as not an easy one, said she would not hire anyone else for wallpaper now that she had seen how it is done. The working style comes through as clearly as the finish. The November 2025 homeowner noted a full eight-to-five day and a pair who stayed out of the way while they worked; another that month described her room as papered and painted, and both men as respectful and helpful. If you have paper to hang — particularly a repeat or a pattern that has to line up across an awkward wall — this is a specialist call, and the accounts of that skill are specific and recent enough to lean on. For a large exterior repaint, ask to see that work directly, since the written accounts all describe paper rather than paint. And with Michael plus one assistant on site, settle the schedule up front on anything sizeable.
