Pereira & Sons Contracting, Inc.

The jobs Pereira & Sons puts its name to are not house-sized. In June 2025 the company posted epoxy floors it laid for the Boston Public Library's rare books project; three months earlier it was painting alongside Turner Construction. That is the shape of this Lynn outfit — a union painting subcontractor working under large general contractors. Owner Diego Pereira has built that commercial side deliberately. In February 2024 the company announced it had become a signatory contractor of IUPAT DC35, the painters' union district council. Weeks later Suffolk Construction named it to the 2024 "Build With Us @ Suffolk" cohort, a mentoring program for minority-, women- and veteran-owned trade partners, and Pereira was quoted at the time: "As a minority, I am both appreciative and grateful for the chance to participate." In December 2025 the Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Office described the company as an SDO certified business and pointed to a state video featuring him. The credential that matters most to a homeowner is on file with the state: its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 208277, is active. BuildZoom lists the same number and names Diego Pereira as owner. What's harder to find is the homeowner's-eye view. Its own site advertises interior, exterior, retail and residential painting with full surface prep — power washing, sanding, patching, drywall repair, priming — but BuildZoom has never received a review of the company, and the work it shows publicly is commercial and institutional. For a general contractor or property manager around Greater Boston looking for a union painting sub with public-project experience, this is a live, recent trail. For a homeowner, it's a company to interview rather than hire on reputation: ask for residential references and photos of houses rather than lobbies, and confirm who will actually be on your job.
