Verified record
Olde Tudor Painting is a Jamaica Plain shop run by Jon Gummer, doing interior and exterior painting with light carpentry mixed in — installing fixtures, patching walls, and refinishing decks and cabinets along the way. Reviews going back to 2022 point to the same habits: on-time starts, tidy job sites, and a painter who explains what he's doing as he goes. The recent record backs that up. A June 2026 review calls out finished work that looked great with the space kept clean daily, and an April 2026 review from a customer of nearly 20 years describes the same reliability — fair pricing, clear communication, and jobs (interior and exterior painting, plus installing chandeliers and light fixtures) that wrap on schedule. A February 2026 review of a full 4-bedroom repaint before new renters moved in notes the estimate came in only slightly over quote and the tight turnaround was met. Older reviews fill in the range of work: in a 2024 review, a homeowner described Jon repairing a water-damaged ceiling and containing dust while he worked; in a 2024 review, another described a tricky deck re-oiling that needed him to wait out the right weather; and in a 2023 review, a color-blind homeowner credited him with steering a paint choice and staying patient through the selection process. A 2022 review covers a full exterior repaint plus a detached garage, working around a difficult neighbor and utility wires. There's no negative or mixed account in the record to weigh against that — every review on file, from 2022 through this year, reads the same way. Confirm what's included in an estimate up front (a couple of reviewers mention the quote landing slightly above the original number), and the pattern here — a small painting operation that keeps coming back to the same handful of clients — is the strongest signal of how the work actually holds up.

Jone did a great job. The work was completed on time looks great! He kept the work area clean each day.
We've used Olde Tudor for nearly 20 years. Jon always does an amazing job. Very professional, reasonably priced, communication is excellent, work completed on time and job site was left clean each day. We have used him for interior and exterior painting. But he does a lot more than painting. He has installed two chandeliers, bathroom light fixtures, wall repair and light carpentry. Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful experience working with Jon at Olde Tudor Painting. We hired him to paint our 4-bedroom home before new renters moved in, and he exceeded our expectations.From the start, Jon provided an accurate estimate, coming in only slightly over the quote (which was reasonable). He worked diligently yet efficiently, completing the entire job on schedule, which made a huge difference in our tight turnaround time.His communication was excellent throughout the process. He kept in touch via text and email, consulted with us when needed, and offered thoughtful, professional advice. In some areas, he recommended repainting or retouching; in others, he honestly suggested that a thorough cleaning would be sufficient. We really appreciated that integrity.Jon also paid careful attention to preparation and detail. He cleaned dusty areas before painting to ensure a smooth, lasting finish. In one tricky kitchen area, he applied multiple coats and stain treatments to make sure the final result looked perfect. He even noticed that a cabinet door was scraping the ceiling and could damage the fresh paint and offered to take the door down and sand it to prevent future issues. That level of care really stood out.Overall, Jon painted with precision, took pride in his work, and delivered a high-quality result. We would absolutely hire him again and highly recommend Olde Tutor Painting to anyone looking for a reliable, detail-oriented professional.
Jon did a great job and was a pleasure to work with. He took on painting 6 doors, plus some walls, that required a lot of prep work and they turned out wonderfully!
Olde Tudor team was great for our front porch exterior painting. They were very communicative, understanding and efficient while completing the job as agreed. Would highly recommend!
