Seven of the 29 written reviews for Ortolani & Sons describe carpentry happening before any paint went on: rotted window sills, broken shakes, fascia, even woodpecker damage. That is the shape of this North Billerica company — Christopher Ortolani founded it in April 1991, his own site describes him as an owner who works the job site himself, and ten of the written reviews name him working alongside his son Bob. The work this year has been substantial. In September 2026 a homeowner had walls, ceilings and all the trim done across a living room, dining room, kitchen, hallway and two levels of foyer, finished as promised in five days. An August 2026 customer had the exterior painted with a lot of rot repaired around the window sills and an unused garbage enclosure taken away. In June 2026 another wrote that over the past few years the crew has painted their exterior, parts of their barn and several interior rooms, and had most recently restored and painted the barn cupola — high up on the roof and hard to reach. Timing comes up as often as the finish. A July 2026 customer said they turned up on time every day; a May 2026 split-level job covered four rooms and landed on schedule; an August 2025 caller had the estimate the next day and a clear scope for a new kitchen and dining room. The October 2024 homeowner who had broken shakes repaired, rotted fascia replaced, unnecessary storm windows removed and two coats applied said the job matched the proposal. One practical note about booking exterior work: a 2022 customer described Chris quoting a schedule built around his existing projects and the expected weather, and a church exterior in July 2025 had to be worked through a rainy spring. Get the start window pinned down and the carpentry written into the estimate. The state registry shows its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration active under Christopher Ortolani, and BBB grades the business A+. For an older house that needs the wood put right before the colour goes on — sills, fascia, shakes — or a full interior repaint with all the trim, this is the crew people keep calling back; one household has used them for more than eight years.
Chris and his son painted several areas of our house. They painted the walls, ceilings and all trim of the living room, dining room, kitchen, hallway and 2 levels of the foyer. We are extremely pleased with the quality of the job. They finished as promised, in 5 days. They were very neat and considerate of the space each evening. Chris suggested and built a door for a small storage closet, something we had not considered before and are pleased with the results. We will definitely use Chris for any other projects and highly recommend Ortolani & Sons Painting Contractors.
Chris and his son did a great job painting our house. I would definitely use them again.
I would (and already have!) recommend Chris and his son to paint anyone's house; interior or exterior. They painted the exterior of my home, as well as- repair a lot of rot around window sills, etc. And removed a large garbage holding area that was no longer being used. They were professional and always friendly. They got the work done in a timely manner and with a very fair price. I am a real estate agent and will be recommending them to all my clients needing any type of paint work done. Thank you guys we LOVE our new painted house!
Chris and his son, Bob, are excellent workers with great attention to detail in their work. They showed up on time everyday and were so easy to discuss some extra repair work which needed to be completed before the exterior could be painted. Chris completed some carpentry work with good skills along with power washing the entire house and shed. Also, we had a large annoying bee problem very high up in the gutters and he efficiently eradicated it. From the first initial estimate to the final paint coat on the house, Chris was always in communication with us, explaining the next phase as the project continued. Our home and shed look fantastic! My wife and I would highly recommend Chris Ortolani for your next paint project.
Ortolani & Sons in the past few years have painted our exterior house, parts of our exterior barn and several interior rooms. In addition, most recently, they restored and painted our barn cupola. The cupola is very high up on top of the barn and difficult to access. On all the painting work they have done for us it was completed ivery professionally and done expertly . We have an older house but the initial prep work and then painting provided excellent results. I highly recommend Ortolani and Sons for any exterior or interior painting
