Orcutt Painting is a Wakefield, MA painting company that's been run by President Rick Orcutt since it started in 1992 — 34 years in, with an 11-person crew. It carries an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Its written record on Houzz runs 2013 to 2014, with all three reviews rating the crew five stars: homeowners call the painters professional, punctual, and clean, and credit Rick with keeping them updated as the work went. In a 2013 review, a homeowner described Rick suggesting the hallway be painted only after movers were done, to keep scuff marks off fresh paint — the kind of practical, on-site judgment call reviewers kept mentioning. In a 2016 Boston Globe interview, Rick Orcutt noted the crew is busiest in spring and summer as new homeowners get their painting done before moving in, with more openings in fall and winter. Confirm current pricing and scheduling directly, especially outside that peak season.
“Spring and summer are the busiest because new homeowners need painting before they move in, so fall and winter have the most availability, said Rick Orcutt of Orcutt Painting Co. in Wakefield.”
Painted most of the interior of my house and remove wall paper. Very professional, punctual and respectful. The crew is very clean.
Hired them to do the entire interior of our home. They did a wonderful job, including some tricky patching. The owner is very professional and consistently keeps you updated on the progress of the project.
Before moving into a newly purchased house we wanted many rooms painted. Orcutt Painting did an excellent job. The owner gave me several good suggestions (such as having the hallway paint done after the move to avoid possible scuff marks by movers). The owner, Rick provided the written estimate, and came to inspect the work several times during the project. The painters were respectful and showed up on time. Everything went like clock work and we were very happy with the quality job. We will have Orcutt come back to do future painting.
