Quality Preferred Painting

Quality Preferred Painting has been run out of Braintree by Steve Austin since 1987 — the company describes itself as a family operation now approaching four decades on the South Shore. It carries an active Massachusetts home improvement contractor license (HIC #146137) and has held BBB accreditation, with an A+ grade, since 1999. What stands out is how consistent the praise stays across sources that don't talk to each other: a 5-star average on Google (17 ratings) and a 5.0 on Angi (79 ratings, every one of the 25 shown a 5-star writeup) point the same direction. Reviews from this spring show the same pattern. One, from late April, calls the team reliable and respectful across many indoor and outdoor projects and credits the quality of the work for keeping the reviewer coming back. Another from April says the reviewer first hired the company ten years ago and has stuck with them since, noting several of Steve's crew have stayed with him for years. A third, also in April, simply says they'd hire him again. Beyond painting, the company also does carpentry, plastering, wallpapering, and pressure washing — a broader mix than a single-trade painter, corroborated independently by a contractor directory and a business-data listing outside its own site. One thing worth flagging: the BBB profile itself carries no listed review or complaint counts, so that A+ badge speaks to accreditation standing rather than a documented complaint history. For a South Shore homeowner planning a paint job — inside, outside, or paired with some carpentry or plaster work — this is a long-tenured, owner-run shop with a record that holds up across Google, Angi, and BBB alike.
