SBL Painters

SBL Painters gets hired to paint and ends up fixing the house. A homeowner wrote in August 2026 that the crew goes beyond paint, making the suggestions and repairs that make sure your home will last; a customer writing in February 2026 put it more plainly — they fix carpentry spots while painting, and hold to high standards at a reasonable price. Shay Bollens-Lund runs the shop out of Hudson, MA, which the BBB lists as an accredited, A+ rated sole proprietorship with 11 years in business, offering interior and exterior painting, ceiling painting, power washing, rot repair, carpentry, and stain and urethane work for homes and businesses. Twenty-two Google ratings average 5.0, and the jobs behind them run from one bedroom to a whole house. A January 2025 customer had a ten-room home painted inside and out. Another hired the crew three times for exterior painting and a door replacement, writing in December 2024 that the crew met the dates it committed to on all three. An Angi reviewer in February 2025 called them a go-to for both planned and unplanned work, including a bedroom that needed painting quickly. Colour advice comes up more than once. A December 2024 reviewer credited Shay and his crew with guidance on colours and on paint hardness — glossy, flat, semi-transparent — and a February 2025 customer said the advice on colour and paint quality made a difference to the final result. The estimate tends to move fast: in an August 2025 account, Shay came out right away and had the quote back that night. A blogger wrote in October 2024 that Shay and Noah from SBL came and helped her out of a jam. Two things are worth settling before you sign. The Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration in Shay Bollens-Lund's name, #186504, is expired on the state registry, and BuildZoom shows that number as inactive; Angi and HomeAdvisor carry a different, self-reported trade licence number. And summer fills up — the August 2025 customer who wanted ceilings painted was given a date ten days out because the team was busy with exterior projects. For an older house where the paint job and the rot repair are really the same conversation, this is a straightforward call. Ask about the expired registration before the contract is signed, and pin down the start date in writing if you are booking in the exterior-painting season.
