Michael P. McCarthy Painting

Michael P. McCarthy Painting has been working out of Waltham for what the company says has been 47 years, handling interior and exterior painting, plaster and drywall repair, wallpaper removal, power washing, and deck work. Its stated service area stretches out from Waltham to towns including Cambridge, Lexington, Brookline, and Belmont. Its online footprint is thin: only two written reviews turned up, one from 2021 and one from 2023, spread across four different sites, both leaning positive. Google shows a 4.9-star average from 16 ratings, and the Better Business Bureau lists it at an A+ grade — though the business hasn't pursued BBB accreditation, and its profile carries no complaint history in either direction. There isn't enough written detail here to point to a specific recent job or call out a pattern beyond the ratings themselves, so the 4.9 average is worth treating as a starting point rather than the full story. For a long-tenured, broad-service Waltham-area painter, the numbers hold up on their face — worth a direct reference check given how little independent detail backs them up right now.
