Optimus Painting and Restoration

Optimus Painting and Restoration works out of 3 Winthrop Street in Medway, and the name that surfaces in nearly every review is Bogomil, described as leading the crew on site. Homeowners hire them for interior repainting and for full exterior work on older houses. The most detailed account is also the most recent. In May 2026 a homeowner described Optimus rejuvenating the exterior of their late-18th-century house — roughly 50 wooden storm windows, plus rot repaired on clapboards and trim — and credited the crew's prep work for a finish they called pristine. That is restoration work rather than a straight repaint, and it is the clearest picture of what they can handle. Interior jobs make up most of the rest. A 2022 reviewer had used them twice, first repainting several condo rooms before moving in and later the kitchen, and described the work as finished on time and on budget. A 2016 customer hired them for a repair and one room, was impressed enough to keep adding rooms, and noted Bogomil fixed a few extra spots at no charge. Another had a whole condo painted and the wallpaper stripped before listing it for sale. Houzz lists the fuller range they offer — ceiling and door painting, deck staining, cabinet refinishing, drywall and plaster repair, lead paint removal and pressure washing — alongside ten projects. Two things are worth pinning down before you call. Most of the written history is dated: five of the nine written accounts are from 2016 or earlier, and two of those came from trade partners rather than homeowners — a design-build firm that hired them as subcontractors, and an interior designer who refers them to clients. Houzz also lists licence number 170821 and two credentials, lead-safe renovation contractor and Fine Paints of Europe certified painter; those are the directory's own listing, so ask to see the current registration and certificates yourself. The service area Houzz publishes is MetroWest — Framingham, Natick, Milford, Franklin and neighbouring towns — so confirm they travel if you are further out. If you want a painter who will take on old-house exterior work, with the prep and rot repair that comes with it, rather than a fast coat of paint, this is a credible call: Google shows 5 stars from 8 ratings and Houzz 5.0 from 6, and every written account since 2014 is a five-star one. Ask for photos of a recent exterior job near you, and get the licence and lead-safe certification confirmed in writing before work starts.
