Taracena's Painting Services

Taracena's Painting Services runs out of Woburn, Massachusetts, and despite the name on the door, gutter cleaning is overwhelmingly what it's known for — the great majority of its review history, stretching back to 2018, describes exactly that job. Thumbtack alone shows 531 ratings averaging 4.9 stars, with Angi and HomeAdvisor both closer to 4.8 from smaller samples, and the individual reviews behind those numbers tell the same story. The praise repeats with remarkable consistency across nearly a decade: crews show up on time, move fast (one job was clocked at about 20 minutes), and clean up after themselves, and several reviewers name Antonio Taracena directly for quick callbacks and clear, upfront pricing — one 2020 customer described reaching out on a Friday and having the job done by Monday for a price they called fair. A 2019 review recounts a free estimate that turned into repeat business, with a neighbor hiring the crew after seeing the work next door. This spring and summer's Thumbtack reviews describe the same responsiveness and tidy follow-through. The one departure from that pattern is a 2023 interior painting job in Waltham, rated 2.5 stars over drywall gaps left behind after electrical work; Antonio returned to the job afterward. It's the exception in an otherwise gutter-focused history, not the norm. Separately, the company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is on file with the state but currently shows as expired — worth confirming directly before booking any interior or remodeling work. For the exterior gutter cleaning it does most often, this is a well-reviewed, consistent operation worth calling with confidence. For anything indoors or larger in scope, ask about current licensing and get the scope of work in writing first.
