Nice Angle Fine Painting

Nice Angle Fine Painting works the North Shore just outside Boston — Marblehead, Swampscott, Melrose, and Winchester — and the clearest pattern in more than a decade of reviews is how often the same homeowners call them back for a second, third, or fourth project rather than hiring someone new. The company says it started in 2007 as a plastering and painting business, and that combination still shapes the work today. Reviewers don't just mention paint — they specifically call out the plaster skills: patching old horse-hair plaster walls, repairing water damage, and smoothing textured ceilings, plus drywall repairs and seamless crack and hole fixes after a renovation. One homeowner's bathroom job went further still, with the crew gutting the room down to new walls before plastering, tiling, and painting it. What shows up again and again is attention to detail and a clean job site: one reviewer noted the crew photographed bookshelves before emptying them so everything went back exactly where it belonged; several others mention the owner, Rizki Setia (rendered a few ways across reviews — Ricky, Ricki, Rizkie), staying personally involved and checking in as the job progresses rather than handing it off. In a 2023 review, one homeowner described the crew making a 300-year-old house "look brand new." A recent review describes a similarly careful exterior job — stucco and wood-siding repair with several exterior doors and window frames refinished. One thing worth asking about before booking: its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (#187935, held by Nice Angle LLC) has expired. That's a genuine lapse rather than a case of the trade being exempt — the company does exterior work as well as interior, so the interior-painting-only exemption doesn't cover it. Worth confirming its current standing directly before signing anything. Beyond that, the 53 five-star Google reviews from 2022 through this year don't turn up a single bad outcome. For a paint job that also needs real plaster or drywall repair worked in — especially in an older home — this is a company built around exactly that combination.
