O'Blenis Painting

Thirty-five reviews since 2022, and all but one land the same way: the crew shows up, works fast, and cleans up daily behind them — with Eric O'Blenis' name attached to nearly every account. O'Blenis Painting is a family operation based in Billerica, Massachusetts; the company says three generations of painters — Eric learned from his grandfather, father and uncle — and more than 16 years serving the Merrimack Valley and into southern New Hampshire towns like Windham, Derry and Salem. What repeats across the reviews is specific, not just positive. Homeowners describe full interior and exterior repaints, popcorn-ceiling removal and refinishing, kitchen cabinet repainting, and deck staining finished in under a day. One 2025 reviewer said other painters wouldn't attempt restaining trim with an anti-bee additive after a carpenter-bee problem; O'Blenis did. A March 2026 review called the daily cleanup 'flawless,' and four reviews in the past six months carry the same tone — none negative. There's one real complaint on file: a February 2025 Google review says the crew borrowed drill bits, never returned them, and stopped responding to messages about it. It's a small thing next to the run of five-star painting reviews, but it's the one place communication broke down after a job. A Thumbtack profile — 5.0 stars, though from a single review — adds a bit more business detail: a background-checked owner, three employees, and six years listed on that platform specifically. The company's own site also claims a Massachusetts contractor license and Better Business Bureau membership; neither has been independently verified here. This is a solid call for a full-house interior or exterior repaint, especially jobs with tricky prep — old popcorn ceilings, cabinet refinishing, high or cathedral ceilings — where the reviews keep pointing to the same pace and care. Worth asking before booking: how tools and materials brought onto the job site get tracked and returned.
