Quality Preferred Painting

Quality Preferred Painting is a Braintree painting company built around one name that shows up in nearly every review: Steve Austin. Reviewers going back a decade describe the same pattern — he handles the estimate himself, walks through the plan, and the same crew comes back year after year. The company says it's a family-based business that's been around since 1987, serving the South Shore for more than 30 years. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor license is active, and the Better Business Bureau lists it as an A+ rated, accredited business dating to 1999. The written record runs deep and consistent: 39 reviews across Google and Angi from 2016 through 2026, most describing repeat work — homeowners who've hired the crew three, four, or more times for different rooms and projects. A 2018 review described the crew masking a room with plastic and drop cloths to keep the rest of a house clean during a ceiling repair, and a 2021 review described stripping old wallpaper and repairing walls before painting, with detailed step-by-step explanations along the way. That same year, one reviewer described a same-week turnaround from estimate to start, at a price they called fair. Work has ranged from single-room repaints to a 12,000-square-foot office and warehouse that needed drywall repair alongside painting, described in a 2021 review. Recent 2026 reviews describe the same pattern continuing — a crew that shows up on time for both indoor and outdoor jobs. For a South Shore homeowner who wants interior or exterior painting, wallpaper removal, or prep-heavy work like ceiling and drywall repair, this is a long-running, licensed crew with a written track record that runs further back than most.
