Services Plus is a Holliston painting and carpentry company that Uga Defreitas started in 2002 as Painters Plus, growing it into the current business in 2018 as the work expanded from painting into carpentry, decks and remodeling. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active on the state registry, and the Better Business Bureau gives the company an A+ grade. What keeps customers coming back is consistency across long stretches of time: one homeowner had the company paint their house 11 years ago and hired them again recently for the same result; another has used them three times in the past two years, most recently to scrape, prime, caulk and paint a family member's house. One long-time customer called Uga and his crew "100% reliable, ethical and organized" across many projects. Reviewers describe daily on-site updates, project managers who walk them through each step, and crews who show up when they say they will — one customer noted no upfront payment was required before work began. The deck and cabinet work draw particular praise: one reviewer said their kitchen cabinets looked brand new after a repaint, and another called their deck the best it's looked after taking the crew's color advice. A handful of reviews point to inconsistency on the carpentry side. In a 2022 review, a homeowner described a sheetrock and loft-wall job left with visible gaps and a wall that wasn't level. A 2023 review said the first appointment ran over two hours late, followed by what the customer called a dishonest, unprofessional back-and-forth. In 2025, one customer summed up their experience as over-promising and under-delivering. A Better Business Bureau reviewer separately described careless, cut-corner work, and another BBB reviewer described a denied claim tied to a heating-system issue. For a full exterior repaint, deck refinishing, or cabinet repaint, Services Plus has years of satisfied repeat customers behind it. If the job leans more toward carpentry or drywall, it's worth getting the finish standards and timeline spelled out in writing before the crew starts.
I've worked with Services Plus three times in the past 2 years and every experience with them has been fantastic. They are professional, courteous, and do a great job. Most recently I had them scrape, prime, caulk, and paint my father's house and it was done quickly and came out great.
We have used Services Plus for a wide variety of projects over many years. Uga and his amazing team do top quality work at very reasonable prices plus they're 100% reliable, ethical and organized. Every project is stress‑free, with a project manager guiding you through each step. I can't recommend them enough. Big thanks to Uga, Pedro, Ivomar, Louis, Jefferson and the others on our latest project!
I have used Services Plus twice now in the last few years, most recently in July 2026. I have been extremely pleased with their communication, professionalism, quality of work and timeliness to get the project completed. I had two workers at my house for about 1 week and they really stay focused and worked very hard. I will use them again.
The word SERVICE is not what it used to be. More often than not a client talks to people and gets the distinct feeling that the person on the other end, is not really interested. SERVICE PLUS (SP) is different! Everyone with the company is a professional. My experience started with Ugo, who was professional, friendly. and made some expert recommendations. A day later, I got a quote with photographs of everything that SP would do for me. Once the contract was signed SP sent a person to "prep" the house and he did a very thorough job. While this was on-going, I got a call from Pedro who introduced himself as the project manager and was available to me with any/all questions. After the "prep" was done, SP sent 3 people to do the carpentry work which was followed by painting. What a fantastic job these guys did! The temperature outside was 90 degrees Fahrenheit, yet they did not take any breaks, besides the one hour for lunch. Additionally, they did not use the "facilities" inside the house, even though I offered it more than once. After the painting was done, another SP person came to do a final "walk-around" with me. This was completed in 10 minutes as there was nothing that SP had not addressed on this job. 5 is the highest available as noted above, but I going to give SP a 5 +. Word of mouth is important and going forward I will recommend SP to everyone I know. Great job, great people!! Mohammed A. Siddiqui
