Soep Painting is a commercial and industrial painting and specialty-services contractor headquartered at 16 Ballard Road in Lawrence, MA, with a Malden, MA mailing address also on file. Founded by Ben Soep, who trained as an artist before starting the company in the 1940s, the business was incorporated in Massachusetts in 1949 and says it is now led by the third generation of the Soep family. Trade publications describe Soep Painting as one of New England's most established commercial-industrial painting contractors. A 2017 industry ranking placed it 13th among the region's top specialty contractors, with coverage crediting the crew with finish painting work on Boston's One Dalton tower and painting subcontracting on a Harvard dormitory renovation. The company also holds a Massachusetts license as a de-leader for lead-abatement work and describes itself as offering commercial coatings, spray foam insulation, decorative concrete polishing, fireproofing, and line striping. The available record is almost entirely about commercial, institutional, and industrial projects rather than individual homeowner jobs. The single written customer review on file is from 2020, in which a prospective customer said they called for an estimate and never received a callback; Google separately shows the business with a 5-star badge from just 2 ratings, so there is little direct homeowner feedback to weigh. Soep Painting's documented strength is large-scale commercial and specialty coatings work with a long track record. A homeowner considering them for a residential job should confirm directly that they take on projects of that size and follow up if an initial estimate request goes unanswered.
