SYM Painting LLC

SYM Painting works out of Medford, taking on interior and exterior painting jobs across the Greater Boston area — Wellesley, Saugus and Boston all turn up in its reviews alongside its home market. The company, run by owner-painter Selbin, says on its own site it has been painting in Massachusetts for 12 years, since 2012. What stands out across three years of reviews is how many customers come back. One homeowner describes hiring the crew for a third room in the same house; another says they were already lining up an exterior job before the interior paint had fully cured. Twenty-eight Google ratings and 123 Thumbtack ratings both sit at a perfect five stars, and the specifics repeat from review to review: on time, responsive, careful cleanup, and — mentioned again and again — pricing several reviewers called fair or the best of the quotes they gathered. One 2026 review describes six rooms of walls and ceilings repainted in three days; another describes a same-day quote after reaching out through Thumbtack. Not every account is in English — one Google review, written in Spanish, calls the work "muy responsables y profesionales." Several reviewers also mention Selbin personally walking through finished rooms to check the work before calling a job done. One thing worth double-checking before booking: SYM's own website states 12 years in business since 2012, while its Thumbtack profile lists 14 years — a two-year gap between the two self-reported figures. Beyond straight painting, reviews and the company's site describe drywall and wall-crack repair, wallpaper removal and wall smoothing, stucco work, and power washing folded into bigger jobs. For a full interior repaint, an exterior job, or plaster work alongside a paint job, this is a crew with a long, consistent, and so far entirely positive record — just worth asking about current scheduling, since several reviews describe them as booked out in advance.
