The practical reason to consider Ronnie The Painter is a focused Peabody painting and home-improvement offering: BBB lists interior and exterior painting alongside power washing, deck work, and small home improvements. Its profile says Ronnie Souza owns the two-person corporation and that the business has operated for 15 years. The customer history is extremely thin and unfavorable. Google shows a single one-star rating, and in that August 2022 review the homeowner described missed touch-ups, a wall painted without primer, ceiling peeling three months later, and an offered repair that was not completed after communication stopped. That is one dated account, not a current pattern, but it is the only written customer experience available here. There are two credentials to put in context before calling. BBB assigns the company an A+ grade but does not accredit it, while Massachusetts records its home-improvement contractor registration as expired. For a painting or deck project, ask who will handle the work, how preparation and touch-ups are documented, and what current registration applies before agreeing to the job.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Ronnie The Painter. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Finished floor area of the rooms in scope — not wall area.

Did not do a great job first time through, had to ask him to touch up quite a few spots and put another coat on a wall that he clearly did not put primer on. It shows because my ceiling started peeling 3 months later. Originally he offered to fix, then ghosted me. Not worth the hassle.
