Hired on Thumbtack. Absolutely love these guys!! I'm a new home owner and painting was the first thing I wanted to get accomplished. I looked at 6 other companies and these guys by far had the best rate. Not only that but their owner Peter was fantastic as I changed my mind about what I wanted done and the timing about four times. He was so responsive and thorough with answering my questions. His crew were friendly and complete professionals. I went over their work with a very close eye and had no complaints. I urge anyone to use this company you will not regret it and I already have new jobs for his team in the works. For someone who is a new homeowner this type of support from a contractor is so appreciated!!!!

Hired on Thumbtack. I highly recommend the North Shore painters. They painted 2 floors in our townhouse: walls, ceilings, doors, windows, trim, etc. The owner responded quickly with detailed quote. He also told me who the lead person on the job will be. The crew arrived on time and reviewed the work/colors/sheen with me. They meticulously protected the floors before they started painting. The work took a couple of days, as planed, and was completed on time. When they were done, they cleaned everything and waited for me to walk through the entire house to make sure that I was satisfied with their work. And very satisfied I was! I highly recommend North Shore and would definitely hire them again. Details: Home - 3 rooms - Walls - Trim - Ceiling - Under 8 feet (low ceiling) - Repainting, with same color - Fair, minor holes and scratches - Interior Painting
Hired on Thumbtack. North Shore Painting Services did outstanding job painting my house. The crew power washed the entire house, replaced and repaired all damaged and rotted wood, prepped all surfaces, applied a primer coat and finish coat of paint, as well as repairing and painting the surface of the foundation. All this was done under challenging November weather conditions. Peter, the contractor, was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Highly recommend and will definitely use again!!

Hired on Thumbtack. From the moment I got quote from Peter, I had a very positive vibe from him. He quote was not only on par but also included all small bits and pieces of the painting the house, like included the porch, front railing. His team was very punctual, came on time, worked all day and finished it quickly. The quality of job is amazing. I did not have to check on anything but still the work was perfect. I wish I can find more people like him for all other kinds of work. If anyone is looking for paint related work, look no further. Peter and his team are the best ! Details: Home - Two stories - Entire building - 1,500-2,000 sq ft - Wood - Exterior Painting
