Homeowners who hire Preserve Services in Pembroke keep coming back to the same person: Rich Babineau, who gives the estimate himself and stays on the job through the last day of cleanup. The company works out of Pembroke and takes on exterior and interior painting, carpentry and rot repair, and deck replacement across the South Shore, from Abington and Marshfield to Plymouth and Scituate, by its own account. Nine Google reviews since 2023 are all five stars, and the specifics repeat: a full exterior repaint finished in a single, thorough day; rotted trim and siding boards identified and replaced as part of the same job rather than billed as a separate surprise; a synthetic deck installed for repeat customers who called Rich back for a second project. One 2026 review describes a crew working an eleven-hour day to beat a rainy forecast, with Rich covering some minor carpentry at no extra charge after holding to his original estimate. The company's own site lists a home improvement contractor registration, HIC 201431, though it hasn't been independently confirmed against the state registry. One reviewer, in a 2023 account, called the work 'not cheap' but said it was good value — the lone hint that this isn't a bargain outfit, offset by several other reviewers calling the pricing reasonable and competitive against other quotes. For an exterior paint job or a rot-repair-and-deck project with one point of contact from estimate to cleanup, the reviews describe a crew that shows up, finishes on schedule, and comes back for follow-up work. Ask about current lead times and confirm the HIC number directly with the state before booking.

Preserve Services Rich Babineau Preserve Services did all that they stated they would do in their promotional mailing. The owner, Rich Babineau, fulfilled every promise made, and oversaw his excellent employees from start to finish. The painters were very skillful and worked an eleven hour day due to a rainy forcast. The owner held to his estimate doing some minor carpentry at no additional charge. I recommend them without resevation and will have them back in the future. Dr. Mark Lessing
Rich and the team did a great job of repairing all the siding and trim, especially on the dormers, then repainting the entirety of the outside in 2 coats with a color change. Really happy with the outcome, thank you!
Preserve Services replaced my outside deck and I am very happy with their work. I also had them replace some rotted wood on the exterior of the house . Rich was really great to work with, helpful and honest. I recommend Preserve Services and will use this company again for any carpentry work .
I had my house, shed and columns painted this summer. I found the price to be very reasonable and they did a very quick, but professional job. The crew was friendly and courteous. I would definitely call them again if I need a painter.
We had Rich and his crew paint the house and do rot repair work. This was our first time using Preserve Services. The work was completed in one day according to the estimate. Cleanup was thorough. We definitely will use Preserve Services in the future.
