Pete Martin the Painter is a residential painting business in Gloucester that says it is owner-operated by Pete Martin himself, working Cape Ann and the North Shore — Rockport, Manchester, Essex, Ipswich, Wenham, Hamilton, Rowley, Beverly and Salem among the towns it lists. Prep is what customers describe. In a 2021 review, a homeowner said Pete painstakingly scraped decades of old paint off the exterior of their mother's house, primed it and put on a finish coat, and was patient explaining the process and some concerns he had. A 2022 customer who had three rooms painted inside called him reliable, professional and fairly priced, and said they would ask him back for the next project. If you want the person who gives the estimate to be the person holding the brush, that is the shape of this business — and it means one calendar to fit into. Ask early how his schedule looks against your timeline, get the prep steps written into the estimate, and confirm insurance before the ladders go up.
Peter painted three rooms in our home. He’s reliable, easy to work with, extremely professional, and has superior painting skills. Plus, his services are fairly priced. We’ll definitely ask Peter to come back for our next painting project. We highly recommend him.
Pete Martin did a great job on the exterior of my mother's house! Painstakingly scraped decades of old paint, primed and finish coat. My mother is thrilled with the new, fresh color! Pete was patient explaining the process and some concerns he had. Great to work with! Very professional and knowledgeable.
