TIGERS PAINTING

Tigers Painting is a Melrose, Massachusetts crew run by Luciano Goncalves, working out of 716 Franklin St. HomeAdvisor and Thumbtack both describe roughly two decades of experience — Thumbtack puts it at 20 years, since 2007 — though the company's Angi category listing states it has been in business since 2023, so the sources don't agree on exactly how long Luciano has been at it. The company is background-checked, offers free estimates, and, per HomeAdvisor, works with Spanish-speaking clients. The written reviews, dated 2022 through mid-2024, describe consistent, detail-oriented work. In a December 2023 review, one client said they had hired Tigers Painting for four separate projects — the exterior of a commercial building, two multi-family homes, and the interior of their own house — and called Luciano's crew hands down the best they had worked with. A late-2023 review described a first-floor interior repaint covering the walls, trim, and ceilings, calling the result something they would highly recommend. Several shorter 2023 reviews echo the same points: on time, professional, and checking in periodically to make sure the homeowner was satisfied with the work. Not every account is flawless. A June 2024 review, while still calling the work "very good," noted the crew had to come back to adjust some reinstalled blinds and left a small paint spill on a doormat — minor issues, but worth knowing before booking. For interior or exterior painting in the Melrose area — including larger jobs, since one reviewer used the crew across multiple properties — Tigers Painting has a consistently positive record to point to. Confirm current pricing and availability, and ask about the business's actual years of operation given the conflicting figures across its directory profiles.
