Midas Painting and Carpentry

The name says painting and carpentry, and the reviews back that up in equal measure — Brad Bogosian's Waltham crew shows up for full exterior repaints and stays to rebuild the porch, patch the trim, or reset the shingles while they're there. Both Angi and HomeAdvisor list the same profile: an Approved Pro rated 4.9 stars from 17 reviews, and the company describes itself as 23 years in business with free estimates. Its written record, spanning 2020 to 2023, is consistently detailed rather than just enthusiastic. In a 2021 review, a homeowner described hiring the crew for an exterior paint job on a Queen Anne home that was a decade overdue, calling the result beautiful and noting there were "no cost surprises" even though carpentry work came up along the way. A 2020 review credits the team with scraping, priming, and painting an entire 95-year-old two-family home and rebuilding its front porches, with Brad supervising on site nearly every day. Another 2020 review, about a deck rebuild that followed a painting job, says "all work was done as promised and on time" with no surprises. In a 2022 review, a customer called Brad "always available" and the company "probably the best run company I have ever worked with." Worth knowing: the directory profile states plainly that Midas doesn't offer emergency service or a warranty on its work, and the most recent written review on file dates to February 2023 — the record is strong but a few years old at this point, so it's worth confirming current availability and scheduling directly. For anyone tackling an exterior repaint with some carpentry on the side — trim, siding repair, a porch or deck that needs rebuilding — the pattern here is a crew that shows up daily, communicates, and finishes without adding surprise costs; reach out to Brad directly to check current timelines.
