Eight years after their first job for the same homeowner, this Woburn crew was called back in May 2026 to repaint the exterior of her 126-year-old house. Return work is the through-line: nearly every written account names the owner, Hany, and several describe hiring him a second time or sending him to friends.
National Painting Service works out of 111 Locust St in Woburn. The BBB, which grades it A+ without accrediting it, lists the business as started and incorporated on 8/22/2016 with Hany Mostafa as manager. Its own site describes interior and exterior painting, staining, stucco and decorative finishes, wallpaper removal, pressure washing, gutter cleaning and light carpentry, aimed at Boston's northwest suburbs — Woburn, Burlington, Wilmington, Bedford, Belmont, Lexington, Brookline, Wakefield, Reading, North Reading, Westford, Winchester, Lowell, Chelmsford and Medford, by its own listing.
The heaviest jobs in the written history are exteriors on difficult older houses. A 2020 Google reviewer described a tall house with challenging pitches, old siding and a lot of rotten boards: the crew came in with the lowest estimate, held to it, rebuilt a front porch, replaced a back gate and fence, and painted house, garage and shed, with emails answered within minutes. A 2018 customer wrote that Hany worked with a budget she could actually afford and that the crew fixed her broken gate and replaced fallen shingles without being asked. Reviewers in 2018 and 2019 kept returning to the same practical detail — the crew arrived each morning and cleaned up completely at the end of the day. Interior work shows up too: a 2017 customer had wallpaper stripped, popcorn ceilings scraped, then plastering and paint.
Two things to sort out before calling. First, the written history is dated — most of it was posted between 2016 and 2020, and only one account has landed since, in May 2026, so ask for recent local references rather than relying on the older run. Second, the 4.9 from 18 ratings shown on Angi is the identical profile HomeAdvisor publishes, so that is one body of reviews mirrored twice, not two; Google adds a separate 5 stars from 7 ratings. The company also describes itself as Lead Safe licensed and its painters as industry-certified — those are its own words on its own site, so ask to see the certificate and current insurance.
For an exterior repaint on an older home in Woburn and the towns around it, this is a small, owner-run outfit with a decade of consistently positive write-ups behind it. Worth confirming who will actually be on site: the BBB profile lists a single employee, while customers describe Hany plus a crew.
