Target Painting & Contracting

Target Painting & Contracting is a Sudbury-based painting and carpentry company that's been working MetroWest Boston since 2005, with a second office on Thoreau Street in Concord and, since 2023, crews on Cape Cod. It's family- and minority-owned, with day-to-day operations run by named VPs of production, operations and sales rather than a single owner-operator. The work described in reviews goes well past a coat of paint. An 1880s condo building in Concord needed restoration for a number of unusual structural quirks, handled under project manager Lucas Santos; an 1800s home got new life through prep work, carpentry and a full exterior repaint. Another homeowner had three-quarters of a house reshingled, fully repainted, and its deck bannister railings rebuilt as one project. Crews consistently handle rot-repair carpentry alongside the paint — replacing and repairing trim, cleaning gutters, power washing, caulking and prepping surfaces before ever picking up a brush. Reviewers repeatedly name specific project managers and crew leads — Lucas, Joe, Junior, Wacson, Nick — and several say they've hired the company for more than one job. Ratings are consistently strong across sources: 4.9 on HomeAdvisor from 157 ratings, 4.8 on Best Pick Reports from 95, 4.8 on Houzz from 16, and a perfect 5.0 on Google from 36. A 2023 review describes trim repair and painting work where the surrounding ground wasn't protected during the job, and a 2024 review that's otherwise full of praise notes the carpentry portion felt a bit overpriced for the time it took. For a full exterior repaint that also needs real carpentry — rotted trim, old shingles, historic-home quirks — this is a company set up to handle both at once; for landscaping or plantings near the work area, it's worth asking how they'll be protected during prep and painting.
