P&H Painting Company

P&H Painting Company is a Danvers shop where the owner, Eddie, is the one actually on the ladder — reviews keep naming him directly, and the small extras he takes on say as much as the paint jobs themselves: helping pick colors, patching water damage, even hanging quilts a homeowner couldn't reach on her own. The company works the North Shore (Danvers, Beverly, Peabody, Salem, Marblehead, Lynn, by its own account), and both recent and years-old reviews describe the same person showing up: punctual, communicative, and willing to go past the original ask. Prep work is what customers keep pointing to. In a 2024 review, one homeowner describes an 1805 house that earlier painters had never prepped correctly — Eddie's crew power-washed, scraped, and taped off the gardens before painting it. Another 2024 review, about a popcorn-ceiling job, mentions the crew sealing off each room to contain the dust while still working quickly. Several customers are repeat business: in a 2023 review, someone who handles estate liquidations says Eddie has painted entire houses for her, inside and out, over multiple jobs; in a 2022 review, a homeowner had him run demolition, insulation, and painting on a kitchen remodel. A 2021 review describes Eddie fixing twenty holes an electrician had hacked into a customer's walls until the rooms looked untouched, and a 2024 review says he came back for touch-ups on a first-floor repaint at no extra charge. The company's own site lists drywall, plastering, carpentry, tile, and flooring alongside painting, and older reviews back pieces of that up — built-in shelving added to two rooms in a 2024 review, drywall repaired after a shower leak in a 2022 review, old wooden gutters pulled down and trim repainted in another 2022 review. Pricing comes up as a plus more than a worry: a 2024 review notes P&H stuck to its original quote, and a 2021 review says a repair-fee add-on for rotted trim was worth it because the rest of the estimate held. Nothing negative turns up across the reviews, and the Google rating sits at 5.0 across 43 ratings. Worth confirming before booking: since Eddie also takes on carpentry, drywall, and the odd non-painting favor, it helps to be specific up front about what's included versus what might come back as an add-on. For interior or exterior painting on the North Shore — especially a job that needs real prep first — this is a shop with a long, consistent history of it.
