ScreenCoat Painting & Flooring

ScreenCoat Painting & Flooring is a Beverly shop built around a specific kind of call: an old New England floor that's lost its shine, plus the rooms around it that need painting to match. Owner Mike — called Michael in some reviews — runs the crew himself and is the one named in nearly every review on file back to 2021; Google shows 5 stars from 71 ratings. The floors are the throughline. This year, reviewers describe 1880s pine floors sanded back to a like-new shine and old, scratched maple brought back to life, often alongside a full interior repaint — five rooms painted along with new baseboards and refinished wood floors in one recent job. The pattern goes back years: in a 2024 review, a homeowner described a 172-year-old floor made "quite respectable again", and another that year called a 70-year-old floor made to look new; a 2022 review recalled the same kind of result in a 200-year-old house. Referrals show up often — a 2023 review names an office-colleague referral, and one 2024 customer had hired Mike twice, first for floor refinishing and later for a repair. There's little to flag. All 53 Google reviews on file are 5 stars, including 8 in the last six months, and nothing in the record — no complaint, no dispute, no regulatory note — breaks that pattern. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, and BBB lists it as accredited with an A+ grade. The read here is for an older home's floors and the paint around them, handled by the same small crew — a 2023 review specifically credits Mike with matching stain colors across old and new wood in one house. Given a five-year run of five-star reviews, book ahead rather than expecting next-week availability.
