## The honest read

Stebbins Spectacular Painting's customer accounts include praise for careful house painting and a recent allegation of poor work and drinking on the job. The Marlborough company lists residential and commercial painting and offers free estimates. Google shows a 3.4-star average from 23 ratings, while the Better Business Bureau gives the company an A+ grade.

The June 2026 Google complaint calls the work very low quality and alleges that employees drank while working. An older November 2022 reviewer also alleged poor workmanship, rude behavior toward homeowners and employees, and unpaid employees. These are the reviewers' allegations.

Other customers describe better experiences. A June 2025 homeowner praised precision, timeliness and the painters assigned to the house. An October 2022 customer praised a polite, professional crew, the painting quality and a few small extras completed without additional charge. In November 2021, another reviewer praised a detailed, competitive bid, coordination with other contractors and completion on time and within budget.

An October 2021 homeowner described pressure washing, preparation and exterior painting, with thorough work and daily cleanup. The company's website lists interior and exterior painting, restoration, faux finishes, wallpapering, staining and power washing, and reports 20 years in business.

**Strengths:**
- Precise painting — praised by a June 2025 homeowner
- Daily cleanup — an October 2021 exterior-painting customer praised thorough work
- Free estimates — offered by the company

**Concerns:**
- Workmanship and drinking — a June 2026 reviewer alleged both problems on the job
- Workplace conduct allegations — a November 2022 reviewer alleged rudeness and unpaid employees
