The owner works alongside the crew. A homeowner flipping a house wrote in June 2026 that Marcio was on site directing the job and would pick up a paintbrush himself, and his name turns up in most of the reviews people leave. Souza Painting is a Medford, MA residential painting company; its site says it has been in business since 1984 and covers interior and exterior painting, carpentry, power washing and gutter cleaning across Middlesex and Essex County towns. Its Google page sits at 5 stars from 57 ratings. Much of the work starts with rotted wood. An August 2025 customer whose white corner trim boards had rotted at the bottom said each one was replaced to the roof with PVC. Another, writing in October 2025, described an exterior repaint that took a lot of scraping, came with the number of coats agreed to, and included carpentry repairs along the way; a June 2025 homeowner picked Marcio after four quotes for exterior painting that also meant fixing rotted trim. Siding and decks turn up too — an August 2025 reviewer had vinyl siding installed and decks repaired. Several customers describe fast estimates and quick starts. One in May 2026 needed a first floor painted before moving in and got an estimate the same day and a slot within a few days; another that month had ceilings flattened on short notice so the rest of a renovation could be scheduled around it. Price lands in the same register: a March 2026 reviewer said the quote came in at half of what other companies had given, and another that month said the crew worked within a set budget on interior walls and ceilings too high to reach alone. Several reviewers mention the house being left clean at the end of each day, and several have hired the company more than once — one in August 2025 came back 11 years after the first paint job. One thing to settle in advance: a March 2025 customer noticed a couple of areas that hadn't applied properly once the paint dried, so agree up front how touch-ups get handled and when. For an exterior repaint where rot has to come out before a brush touches the house, this is a natural call — put the scope in writing (scraping, wood replacement, the number of coats) and confirm licensing and insurance before the crew starts.
