Purple Brush Painting is a one-man operation out of Medford — Artem Konovalov says he founded it in 2017 after roughly a decade painting professionally and fifteen years in remodeling and construction, coming from a family of builders. The business covers Medford and a wide ring of nearby towns, including Newton, Arlington, Wellesley, Cambridge, and Somerville, doing interior and exterior painting, kitchen cabinet refinishing, and deck staining, with some handyman work alongside it. On Google, it holds a 5-star average from 25 ratings, and across 24 reviews stretching back to 2021 the tone barely wavers from glowing. The word that keeps showing up is meticulous: people describe him going over every detail, whether that's diagnosing a failing bathroom ceiling before painting it, redoing the exterior trim and doors on a two-unit condo building, or turning a kitchen repaint into a full living-room, ceiling, and trim job once he was in the door. Communication is the other thread — reviewers point to being kept informed on timing, and one reviewer specifically called the pricing fair and reasonable. The jobs described range from small refinishing work to fairly involved multi-room projects, and several reviewers say they've had him back for a second or third job, which tracks with reviews spanning several years rather than a single busy season. Konovalov runs this himself rather than through a crew, so what a homeowner is booking is his own schedule and hands-on work rather than a company with backup staff. For anyone in the Medford/Newton/Cambridge area weighing an interior repaint, exterior trim work, or tired kitchen cabinets, a multi-year run of strongly positive Google reviews backs the choice — just plan around a solo operator's calendar rather than a crew's.

I could tell that Art knew what he was doing when I showed him our falling down bathroom ceiling plaster and he described the process he would use to fix it and do it right. In addition to being knowledgeable and thorough, he pays attention to every detail and does the job like how he would do it in his own house. He was a pleasure to work with, very responsive, and his price was very fair. We also asked him to fix a few other things around the house since it was clear he would do the job well and at a good price. He is a gem!

Interior painting was professional and well done! Art took time to make sure all items were covered when painting. He was timely with responses and he gave a fair and reasonable price. I would highly recommend!

Art painted the exterior trim and doors on our two condo building and did a thorough, thoughtful job. He was lovely to deal with, communicative and friendly and we're delighted with the results. A neighbor recommended him and we would highly recommend him as well. Hire him!

I hired Arte to paint my kitchen. He did such a great job, I ended up having him paint my entire renovated living room, ceiling and trim included. He is an artist when painting. Very detailed in all aspects. I had a bathroom vanity I was replacing because of chips and he recommended painting it. He painted it and it looks brand new! He also mounted a 65" TV in my wall and installed bifold doors in my closet. I can't say enough about his services. He showed up everyday as scheduled and his communication was always excellent. His suggestions were great and he was exceptionally clean with every room he worked on. It was a pleasure to work with him and I would not hesitate to use his services again.

Very grateful to Art for the quality work he did at my condo (painting exterior trim, doors, railings, etc.) What really stood out was how easy it was to communicate with him throughout the project - he was always responsive and clear about timing and expectations. He was also genuinely kind and took the time to honestly explain what work was necessary versus what could wait, which I really appreciated. No unnecessary upselling, just straight-forward advice and quality craftsmanship. Absolutely would hire Art again and would definitely recommend him to others!
