Rick Master Painting is a Danvers-based crew — run by Ricardo, who goes by Rick — that's built a reputation on jobs other painters call hard: tall triple-deckers on busy Boston streets, a building painted from the inside because there was nowhere to set up a ladder outside, porches three stories up in Dorchester. In a 2024 review, a Boston homeowner describes getting quotes from six contractors for a steep-hill, tall building and choosing Rick for coming in cheapest while finishing the roughly two-week job in about 14 days, with neighbors stopping by mid-project to compliment the crew. The company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor license is active. Prep work comes up constantly. In a 2025 review, the crew primed over a previous owner's dark green, navy, and neon-orange walls before repainting and covered kitchen cabinets and tile to keep splatter off; the same review describes wallpaper removal and wall sanding done first. Several reviewers mention how quiet and unobtrusive the crew is on the job — a 2024 review described not even realizing painters were in the building because they worked from inside using the windows and always removed their shoes. It's a recurring thread in the reviews for a homeowner to mention getting several quotes and choosing Rick for coming in lowest while still seeming the most professional of the group — one recent review describes surveying four companies and picking Ricardo because he was the first to respond and show up. The one blemish is a recent four-star review noting communication before the job started could have been better, though the reviewer was happy overall with the finished work. Otherwise, jobs described range from a single bedroom to full-house exteriors, kitchens, dining rooms, and drywall repair alongside the paint. For anyone with an awkward exterior — height, a busy street, tight access — this is a crew reviewers keep describing as the one who actually pulled it off.
I have never been this excited to leave a review. Rick and his crew are consummate professionals. When I reached out for an estimate, Rick came the very next day. He was lovely and clear, gave a fair and reasonable price quote, and was flexible and accommodating with scheduling. He was extremely responsive by text when I followed up with a few questions a week or so later. He reconfirmed the day before and sent two super nice guys (Sandro and Bruno) to do the work. They were so quiet even when they were plastering I couldn't believe it. Their presence was so unobtrusive. They fixed cracks in multiple rooms, painted one whole room, plus a big accent wall, plus touch ups in three more places all in one day. Their work is beautiful. I will absolutely hire Rick's crew again!
Very nice job. Communication prior to date of service could have been executed, but otherwise happy overall.
Pleasure to work with. Professional. Honest and great quote for work. Completion timeliness were great. Highly recommend
Ricardo and his team painted my dining room and kitchenette. I am extremely happy with the job they did! They were on time, professional, and highly skilled. They also made sure my furniture was protected and cleaned up afterwards. We will certainly be hiring them again in the future. I highly recommend Rick Master Painting!
Rick Master Painting is top notch, professional painters. When my wife and I began looking to paint our house I schedule 4 different companies for quotes. The first one to respond and come to my house was Ricardo from Rick Master Painting. Ricardo showed up early and took his shoes off at the door. We talked about what I wanted to do and then he was able to get the square footage by using a laser measurer . He was able to give me a price on the spot and told me exactly what was included, which consisted of Benjamin Moore paint. Ricardo was very knowledgeable, professional and I trusted him from the start. I had such a great impression, that I told him that day to put me on the schedule. I then canceled the other companies and did not even care to hear what their quotes were. First impressions are everything when you have someone working on your house. Ricardo gave me a date as to when they would start the service. This left me with two weeks to pick a color, which Ricardo helped us with. He even offered to come paint samples on the wall so we knew exactly what we wanted. Ricardo stayed in communication the whole time and even started the job 2 days earlier than expected. Once he started, the crew was very respectful of our furniture, floors and kids toys which were everywhere. They took down curtains, moved furniture and covered everything. They finished one area, put everything back where it belonged, hung back up the curtains so we always had a place to be in the house when the work was being done. The painting was incredible. They fixed any part of the wall that was damaged prior. To include areas that the dogs had damaged. The paint was rolled on smoothly and the lines were straight. The house was in the same condition, with everything back in place by the end of the job. My wife and I are very satisfied with the job they did and I would recommend them 1000%. Give them a call and give Ricardo a chance! You will quickly realize why I trusted him with my job.
