New England Brushworks

New England Brushworks is a Somerville painting outfit run by Dennis Lima, whom Thumbtack lists as holding a Massachusetts home improvement contractor license (#220805, shown through 8/5/2028). The company is a year into business, with 63 projects shown on its Thumbtack profile and a Top Pro badge attached. What comes through in the five reviews on record is consistency: interior work — doors, hallways, living rooms, whole-house repaints — done cleanly and left spotless, with more than one customer calling out the attention to detail. In a June 2026 review, a homeowner credited Dennis with covering holes in a ceiling and matching the existing textured finish, a repair that's easy to botch. In a 2025 review, a customer described a two-room repaint on a Cape Cod house done with Benjamin Moore and Farrow & Ball paints, finished on schedule. Scheduling comes up more than once — reviewers mention jobs finishing before the deadline and Dennis accommodating extra work along the way — and pricing gets one direct mention as fair. Every review on file, recent and older, reads the same way: polite, punctual, careful. The one thing worth knowing going in is that the business is young — Thumbtack lists it at one year — so the five-review record, while uniformly positive, is still small. Confirm current availability and get a written estimate before booking, especially for anything beyond a standard interior repaint, since the profile also lists popcorn texture removal, wallpaper removal, deck staining, cabinet painting, and floor painting or coating without reviews specifically describing that work. For a straightforward interior repaint or texture repair around Somerville, the reviews and the listed license make this a reasonable call — just confirm scope and price in writing given how new the operation is.
