Last 6 months: 1 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Randymars Painters Contractors has been racking up reviews on Angi since 2018 — 290 of them, at a 4.7-star average — which is a longer paper trail than most painters in the area can show. The Waltham company describes itself as family-owned since 2000, run by Marco Carrera, and its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active; it also holds an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Renovator credential, relevant for the older housing stock it works on around Belmont, Newton, Wellesley and the rest of the western suburbs. A lot of the written record centers on exterior prep work rather than just rolling paint on. In a 2022 review, a homeowner described Randymars stepping in after a previous painter left an uneven, badly sanded surface — the crew resanded and scraped the whole job before repainting. In a 2018 review, a customer described Marco walking them through oil-stain versus solid-paint options for a complex exterior job, with his carpenters handling siding and trim repairs; a 2022 review described clapboard prep and rotted-wood repair on an 1890s gambrel. A 2023 Angi review described a faster-moving job — a flood-damaged basement, walls and a sink cabinet restored within three days of the first call. More recently, a 2026 Thumbtack review described the crew clearing snow before dawn so a healthcare worker could get to work safely during a storm, alongside the more typical house-painting jobs. The one recurring flag, and it's dated: two Angi reviews, from 2018 and 2019, described difficult communication with the crew and, in the 2018 case, an unprofessional phone response from Marco when the customer called to ask about a delayed second day of work. Both reviewers still said the actual paint and carpentry work was done well — it's a communication complaint, not a workmanship one — but it's worth setting clear expectations on scheduling and check-ins before the crew starts. Randymars is a solid call for an older home that needs real exterior prep — rotted wood, siding repairs, a botched paint job from a previous contractor — done alongside the repaint, and its size means it can also handle snow removal for the same property. Get timelines in writing given the isolated communication complaints noted above. **Strengths:** - Exterior prep work — repairs rotted wood and siding before painting - Long track record — 290 Angi reviews dating back to 2018 - Fast on damage jobs — restored a flooded basement in three days - Also does snow removal — same crew handles winter cleanup **Concerns:** - Communication complaints — two dated reviews flagged difficulty reaching the owner ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration verified active _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://contractorhub.mass.gov/s/hic-contractor-search) — “MA hic license 199445 verified active” - EPA Lead-Safe Certified Renovator credential _(confidence: high)_ - [Official Website](http://www.randymarspainters.com) — “Stated certification/affiliation: EPA Lead-Safe Certified Renovator (NAT # 80311-1)” - [Thumbtack](https://www.thumbtack.com/ma/waltham/interior-painting/randymars-painters-contractors-inc/service/325026449957863551) — “Listed certification: EPA lead-safe certification” - Angi profile shows 4.7 stars across 290 reviews dating to 2018 _(confidence: high)_ - [Angi](https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ma/waltham/randymars-painters-contractors-inc-reviews-1.htm) — “Angi: 4.7★ from 290 ratings” - [Angi](https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ma/waltham/randymars-painters-contractors-inc-reviews-1.htm) — “A genuine, well-established Angi profile with a 4.7 rating across 290 reviews going back to 2018, overwhelmingly positive on quality/price/t…” - Handles exterior prep and repair — rotted wood, siding, resanding botched work _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURPNmZ5NW5RRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x9893a8bfdad00e40!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgIDO6fy5nQE%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ We had a great experience with Randymars Painters.
