Pojoy Painting & Construction

Thirty-eight Google ratings, not one of them below five stars, and a job list that keeps circling back to the same two things: porches and paint. Pojoy Painting & Construction is Francisco Pojoy's Lynn crew, and reviewers describe them building structures from the ground up as readily as they describe them cutting in a ceiling. The porch work is the most striking. A May 2023 customer had an old front porch demolished and rebuilt from the ground up, with new flooring, a new door and windows, interior paint and siding outside. Another that same month had a deck rebuilt as a side porch, the porch roof repaired and the top deck replaced, all to their own design. In December 2022 a homeowner working with an architect said Pojoy executed the drawings and proposed improvements of its own. And in July 2025 — the most recent written account — a customer described a kitchen renovation and a new deck delivered together. The painting reviews are about care more than color. A November 2024 customer had five room ceilings painted, two of them with knotty pine beams that had to be cut around by hand, and singled out the two men Francisco sent for the attention they paid. An October 2023 review of a large ceiling job noted furniture and floors covered before the work started and the site cleaned after. Bathrooms recur too: a January 2023 job covering two bathrooms and a basement with tile, a new shower, interior painting, wallpaper and laminate; an April 2023 full bathroom renovation plus a replacement tile floor in a second bath. Two things to check before calling. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 205846, is expired in the state registry — and because this crew builds porches, decks and bathrooms rather than painting interiors only, the state's painting exemption does not cover the work they actually do. Ask whether the registration has been renewed. Second, the company's own website currently advertises lawn care and landscaping — mowing, fertilization, weed control — which is not what a single customer describes hiring them for, so confirm what they are taking on now. One more thing: the newest written review is from July 2025. A clean 5.0 across 38 ratings is a strong history, but ask for a job finished in the last few months and go look at it. For a porch, a deck, a bathroom or careful interior painting, this is about as consistent a run of reviews as you will find locally. Settle the registration and the scope question up front.
