Professional Painting Plus

Ask around Norwood for a painter and Larry O'Brien's name comes up on its own — the company operates as Professional Painting Plus, also doing business as O'Brien Interiors, and its Google reviews read less like customer feedback and more like referrals passed hand to hand. It describes itself as family-owned and says on its own site that it has been in business 45 years (its BBB file, opened in 2017, lists 42), run by owner-operator Larry O'Brien out of the Norwood/Walpole area. The dozen 5-star Google ratings and eleven written reviews spanning 2024 through mid-2026 line up around a few consistent notes: careful prep, protecting floors and finished surfaces, and following through on the details. A recent review described him painting a kitchen's walls and ceiling; another, from late 2025, walked through a full exterior repaint and deck staining done alongside a carpentry crew. Several reviewers say they've hired him more than once — one, in early 2026, mentioned using him on multiple client projects as well as her own house. The company's own site bills itself as an interior-only specialist, but its reviews describe exterior painting and deck-staining jobs too — worth a quick conversation about what's actually in scope for a given project. Neither the BBB nor its other directory profiles show any published customer reviews or complaint counts, so Google is effectively the only place its track record shows up. For a straightforward interior repaint, cabinet refinish, or an exterior/deck job in the Norwood area, the reviews point to a hands-on owner who shows up personally — just confirm exterior work is actually on the table before booking, since the website's own description says otherwise.
