Twenty-seven homeowners have written about Performance Painting and Renovations on Google, and every one of them gave it five stars. The Peabody, Massachusetts company says it handles interior and exterior painting, cabinet and deck refinishing, and commercial painting, alongside kitchen and bathroom remodeling, custom carpentry and flooring, and it lists a service area running from Peabody out through Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Medford, Malden, Woburn and the Merrimack Valley towns.
It holds Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration 220243, which the state registry shows active, recorded under the name Performance Painting and Renovations Inc.
The name that recurs in the reviews is Lucas — Lucas Gonzaga, who customers describe as working on the job rather than just quoting it. One homeowner who had the exterior of a house and shed painted describes him walking the project from initial preparation to the final walkthrough, and responding immediately when a couple of minor concerns came up afterwards. Another says they watched the work happen alongside him on an older house and calls him a pro painter who works smart and fast. A repeat customer who has used the company for both interior and exterior projects at the same home says the crew shows up when it says it will.
The practical praise is consistent and specific about the parts of a paint job that go wrong: preparation, containment and cleanup. Customers mention properly prepped surfaces, clean paint lines, floors left without scratches or spatter, and the site left organized at the end. One who had two rooms painted calls the pricing fair and singles out the quality of the products used; another mentions painting and carpentry work done together in the same house.
The one thing to weigh is how new the written record is. Every review on file was posted in 2026, most of it across a few weeks in May, so there is no multi-year history of finished work to look back on and no completed large remodel described in any detail — the remodeling, carpentry and flooring services come from the company's own description of itself rather than from customers. Fourteen of the twenty-seven comments were posted on two consecutive days, and one of them describes a welcoming place with kind staff worth returning to, which does not read like an account of a painting job at all.
For interior, exterior and cabinet painting in the Peabody and North Shore area, the picture is a small, hands-on outfit with an active state registration and consistent praise for prep and cleanup. If the job is a kitchen, bathroom or flooring renovation rather than paint, ask to see completed projects of that type and confirm the registration number with the state before signing.
