# Mulligan Painting & Contracting **Trade:** House Painting · **Address:** 7 Golden Ave, Medford, MA 02155 · **Phone:** (781) 219-8627 · **Website:** https://www.mulliganpaintingcontracting.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 4.2/5** (low confidence) — from 8 reviews across 8 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 2 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Mulligan Painting & Contracting is a Medford, Massachusetts painting and general-contracting company that's been run by Gerry Mulligan long enough that at least one client has kept him on speed dial for nearly two decades — reviewers keep circling back to the same thing: Gerry personally supervises every job, and he and his crew clean up before they leave each day. The written record runs from 2018 through this year and tells a consistent story across bathroom rebuilds, basement rebuilds, exterior clapboard replacement, gutter work, and of course painting -- interior, exterior, cabinets, kitchens. One longtime client's 2023 review described "almost 20 years" of Gerry maintaining their house across major projects; a more recent one, from this spring, describes him and his crew painting a house while carefully protecting the plants and outdoor furniture the whole time. The most recent reviews, from this summer, describe interior painting paired with new trim and tile work in a living room and kitchen, and separately, exterior painting combined with scraping a roof overhang and repointing a foundation's cinder blocks -- the kind of varied, hands-on work that shows up throughout the record. The numbers back up the reputation at scale: Angi shows a 4.9★ average from 123 ratings and HomeAdvisor shows 4.9★ from 117, 98% of them five stars. The company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor license (#169140) is verified active with the state, and it's a BBB A+ accredited business since 2010. One thing worth asking about directly: BuildZoom's records also show an earlier company license number that's since been cancelled, alongside the current active one -- not unusual for a business this age, but worth a quick question. The company's own tenure claims don't quite agree with each other either — its homepage says "over 40 years," its About page says "over 30," and the BBB lists 34 — so pin down a specific founding date if that matters to you, though by any of those counts this is a genuinely long-established operation. For interior or exterior painting, especially paired with related carpentry or general-contracting work, in the Medford area, this is a contractor with an unusually deep, personal, and consistently positive track record behind the name. **Strengths:** - Long-term client relationships — one homeowner has used Gerry for nearly 20 years - Hands-on ownership — Gerry personally supervises every crew on site - Verified state license — Massachusetts HIC registration active **Concerns:** - Prior license lapsed — BuildZoom shows an earlier, since-cancelled MA license number **Where sources disagree:** - The company's own website states 'over 40 years of experience' on its homepage and 'over 30 years' on its About page, neither of which matches the Better Business Bureau's stated 34 years. ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Mulligan Painting & Contracting's Massachusetts home improvement contractor license (#169140) is registry-verified active. _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://contractorhub.mass.gov/s/hic-contractor-search) — “MA hic license 169140 registry-verified active — registry holder of record: MULLIGAN PAINTING & CONTRACTING INC.” - BuildZoom also lists an earlier Massachusetts license (#111891) under the company's name, shown as inactive with a status of cancelled at one point; the current license is the separate, active #169140. _(confidence: medium)_ - [BuildZoom](https://www.buildzoom.com/contractor/mulligan-painting-contracting-inc) — “Licence listed on BuildZoom: License #169140 — Active — Massachusetts — Home Improvement Contractor” - [BuildZoom](https://www.buildzoom.com/contractor/mulligan-painting-contracting-inc) — “Licence listed on BuildZoom: License #111891 — Inactive — Massachusetts — Home Improvement Contractor (status at one point cancelled)” - Reviewers from 2018 through this year consistently describe owner Gerry Mulligan personally supervising the crew, protecting plants and furniture during exterior work, and cleaning up daily; one longtime client says Gerry has maintained their house for almost 20 years across major exterior, interior, and bathroom work. _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2xoMFpHbzRRMVl3UnpScVJ6QndRaTFpYkZOcWFIYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xd51bfcc11f464132!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOlh0ZGo4Q1YwRzRqRzBwQi1ibFNqaHc%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ Gerry and his crew just finished painting my house.
