Proxima Pros

Proxima Pros is a five-person Swampscott crew that Thumbtack lists as seven years in business, and the job customers describe most is paint. The standout account is from September 2025: a client who grew up around a builder hired them for a six-room interior repaint — walls, trim, doors, window frames — and singled out the ceiling, writing that it came out amazing when many other painters had been afraid to touch it. Earlier, in April 2024, two customers described small fixes: outlets sorted with the work explained as it went, and a leaky faucet done promptly and affordably. One thing to pin down first. In October 2025 a customer who was otherwise satisfied wrote that they wished the cost had been more upfront before signing on. Get the scope and the number in writing before anyone starts. Thumbtack shows a 5.0 across 12 ratings and 87 project photos, with a background check on Kirill Balchenkoff completed in August 2025. The profile also carries a Licensed & insured line, but no licence number sits behind it, so ask for the certificate and the registration number yourself.
