Santos Painting

Santos Painting is a small Winthrop painting outfit working out of 900 Governors Drive, taking interior and exterior painting plus drywall repairs, with free estimates and Spanish spoken. Its directory listings put eight years of experience behind it. Its written history is short and it is dated: two reviews, both from July 2022, both five stars, and the same pair appears on Angi and HomeAdvisor because the two sites share one profile. In the more detailed of them a homeowner described a $250 interior job and wrote that the painter "took the time to properly prep the kitchen ceiling and covered everything" and was prompt, finishing with "would hire him again". The other is a single line: "Great job, I recommend him." What that means practically is that the public record here is thin and four years old, so the useful questions are current ones — ask for two or three recent Winthrop or East Boston addresses you can look at, and get the scope and the surface prep written into the quote, since prep is exactly what the one detailed review praises. This is a sensible call for a homeowner with a room, a ceiling or a small exterior job who wants a one-crew painter rather than a big shop, and who is comfortable doing their own reference check. Confirm insurance and, for any exterior or drywall work, current Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration before the job starts.
