Premier Painting & Wallpapering is a Danvers-based crew led by owner Bill, covering the North Shore with painting, wallpaper hanging, and the light carpentry and drywall work that often comes with it. The volume here is unusual for a painting outfit — 72 reviews stretching back to 2015, a 4.9★ average on Google, an A+ BBB grade, and an active Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration — and the tone barely wavers across all of it. What stands out is the range of jobs beyond straight wall-and-trim painting. A January 2025 review describes a full Rowley home renovation for the reviewer's grandmother — stripping wallpaper off an 18-to-20-foot staircase wall, patching the plaster underneath, and repainting the whole upstairs in a week. Other recent accounts mention hanging grasscloth, wallpapering a nursery, staining a new pressure-treated deck with BM Arborcoat oil stain, refinishing kitchen cabinets, and small carpentry repairs — replacing shingles and window trim — folded into exterior paint jobs. A 2024 review lays out the prep sequence for one exterior job in detail: power washing, scraping, sanding, caulking, and priming before the finish coats went on. Crew names come up constantly — Anderson leads much of the painting work, with Manny, Tulio, Nikolai, Washington, and others named across different jobs — and the same behaviors repeat regardless of who's on site: showing up on time, daily cleanup, and a habit of walking clients through detailed, itemized quotes before starting. One recent review described Bill pulling together a plan to paint a house through late-fall cold and snow so the owners could list it for sale on a deadline; another had a two-person crew on-site within 48 hours of a short-notice call for a single bedroom. The one practical thing worth knowing: a review from March 2026 mentions a nearly six-month wait between the initial meeting and the project actually starting, even though the work itself went smoothly once it began — a sign that a popular local crew like this one may need to be booked well in advance. The 12 reviews from just the past six months keep the same 5-star, zero-complaint pattern as the rest of the record — this isn't a company riding an old reputation.
I just cannot say enough just how very pleased we are with the beautiful job of painting our ceiling and matching the existing wall color Manny and David did for us. Their prep work was the best we have ever had with the painting projects we have had through the years. They were so considerate, friendly and accommodating… I highly recommend Premier Painting to anyone looking for an expert and fair price experience. Susan and Bob
We’ve hired JVS for multiple projects. Josè and his crew do fantastic work. They have amazing attention to detail, excellent communication, and put lots of care into their work. I especially appreciate that Jose takes time to talk through all of the details with me. He was especially compassionate in helping me to feel confident in my color choices while offering his advice and knowledge on specific projects. I cannot recommend JVS enough!
Great job by Bill and his team. I was looking for someone who could refinish the kitchen cabinets as well as complete some small carpentry and outdoor painting. Both Manny and David did a great job and were very professional.
We hired Premier Painting to paint the exterior of our Lynnfield home this Spring, as well as the pool shed. I am very happy we chose Bill and his team to do the work (one of 4 quotes we received). Our house hadn't been painted for close to 10 years and, while it had held up well, it definitely needed it. Our house needed some carpentry repairs, with more surfacing as the house was being prepped. Bill's carpenter Albert was excellent, very thorough and diligent in replacing shingles and window trim in several areas. The painting team, led by Anderson, was tremendous....very thorough in scraping and sanding, as well as re-glazing a good size bay window that really needed it. For finish coat, they use Benjamin Moore High Build, which I saw as a high quality choice. The team was very neat and efficient, completing the job in exactly 2 weeks. I would not hesitate to work with Premier Painting in the future.
My husband and I recently had our home and utility shed painted. The job was perfectly done and looks amazing!! The crew was unbelievable and took good care to make sure everything was done properly. They cleaned up every day after they were finished. The price was amazing too!! I would highly recommend Premier Painting and Wallpapering. Linda and Bruce Faulkner, Hamilton, MA
