Tinos Painting and Carpentry

Fifty-two people have rated Tinos Painting and Carpentry five stars on Houzz, and not one of those ratings comes with a review you can actually read. That gap shapes everything a homeowner can know about this two-person Lynn shop. What they do is well documented. The Houzz page lists a painter's full menu: interior and exterior work, ceilings, cabinet painting and refinishing, wallpaper and popcorn-ceiling removal, deck staining, plastering and power washing. On Angi and HomeAdvisor the company describes itself more broadly still, adding carpentry, decks, gutters and siding, and says it speaks Spanish. How long they have been at it depends on which page you open. Houzz carries the company's own claim of more than 22 years of experience. Angi and HomeAdvisor both say 17. The Better Business Bureau records the business as started on 1 January 2016 and lists two employees. Three answers to a simple question is worth raising on the first call. Its BBB file is an A+, and the same page states the company is not BBB accredited: two separate facts, both true. The Angi and HomeAdvisor listings are the same page twice over, identical down to the wording, and both say the company is new to the platform with no reviews yet. Those two also print 25 Cherry Street, while BBB and Houzz give 159 Lawton Avenue. So: a small Lynn painting outfit with a strong Houzz standing that no one can read behind, and nothing on any other platform to test it against. Reasonable to call for interior or exterior painting and cabinet work, which is plainly the bulk of what they list. Before booking, ask how long the business has been trading, which address it runs from, and to see photographs or references from jobs like yours, since the star average on its own carries no detail.
