Prismic Shades Painting

Prismic Shades Painting is a one-man-crew operation built around owner Brian Brosnan, doing residential and commercial interior and exterior painting across Salem and the North Shore. The pattern across nearly 50 Google ratings (4.9★ average) and an A+ Better Business Bureau grade is remarkably consistent: reviewers keep describing Brian walking them through color and finish choices before starting, then leaving the site spotless at the end of each day. Recent jobs span whole-home interior repaints, a condo where nearly every room got a different color, and a kitchen cabinet refinish where the prep work stood out. A 2023 review describes a repeat customer who first hired him for a bathroom in 2018 and came back years later for a full interior job — the kind of return business that tracks with how often "would recommend" and "will use him again" show up across the record. Exterior work draws similar praise — a front-of-house repaint finished in two days despite a rain delay, home-and-office exterior jobs with daily cleanup reviewers singled out — but one account stands apart. A 2022 review describes a wood-trim exterior job that didn't start until late July despite an April contract, after repeated follow-up calls, and finished with two damaged window screens plus several spots (a door frame, a window, a decorative plaque, and stretches of trim along the siding) left unpainted. It's the one blemish on an otherwise clean multi-year record, worth raising directly when scheduling a larger exterior job. A Reddit recommendation in a Salem-area thread echoes the interior work — "did an excellent job on our house" — matching the tone of the Google reviews.
