Rodrigo's Painting

Rodrigo's Painting is the crew North Shore homeowners call for a full exterior repaint done right — the kind of job where surfaces get scraped down to bare wood or bare metal before anything gets a fresh coat. Based in Lynn, the company says it has run for 15 years with founder Rodrigo personally on-site for every project, covering towns from Marblehead and Beverly to Newton and Milton. The track record backs that up: 107 Google ratings averaging 5.0, another 12 on Thumbtack at a perfect Exceptional rating, and 106 reviews total dating back to 2022 across four sources. In just the last six months, 16 new reviews came in and every one of them was positive. The specifics repeat: a bathroom remodel called perfect, exterior door repaints finished the same visit, wrought-iron railings and a porch pad scraped bare and repainted in a single day with three guys on-site, and a bedroom repaint that also tackled candle-soot damage the homeowner had made worse trying to fix herself. Reviewers keep circling back to the same two things — Rodrigo shows up and communicates, and the prep work before painting isn't rushed. Worth asking about before booking: one review among the 106 knocked its rating from five stars to three after a promised discount for leaving a review didn't materialize, and a follow-up quote for additional work came in well above what other painters offered. That's the one blemish on an otherwise clean run, and it's about billing follow-through rather than the paint job itself, which the same reviewer still called well done. Rodrigo's Painting holds an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (#211366), verified against the state registry, and Thumbtack has completed a background check on owner Rodrigo Garcia. The company describes itself as a small crew that also handles carpentry, power washing, gutters, siding, and deck work alongside its core painting jobs. This is a good call for a full-house exterior repaint or a detail-heavy interior job where clean lines matter and the plan is to deal directly with the owner rather than a subcontracted crew. Before signing, get any discount or referral promise in writing and ask for the same itemized estimate on follow-up work as the first project.
