91% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative.

## The honest read

TJ's Painting & Remodeling has a mix of recent repair work and an older, more mixed written history. Angi and HomeAdvisor each show 4.8 from 42 ratings; a Google review from 2023 describes a bathroom repair involving a ceiling and mold, while a 2023 Angi review describes tile flooring, plumbing, trim, and paint during an unfinished project.

The license needs attention before a contract: Massachusetts' registry lists the company's home improvement registration 156002 as expired. BuildZoom also lists inactive licenses, including 156002. A 2018 reviewer said a promised shelving quote never arrived and completed the work herself; that is an old, specific communication complaint, set against newer positive accounts.

Profiles disagree on the business address: Angi and HomeAdvisor use Framingham, BuildZoom lists Worcester, and the current campaign record is Franklin. Confirm the operating address, registration status, and scope in writing before scheduling, particularly for flooring or multi-trade bathroom work.

**Strengths:**
- March 2026 repairs — a reviewer describes replacements and daily cleanup
- Bathroom repairs — 2023 accounts describe ceiling and tile work

**Concerns:**
- Expired registration — Massachusetts lists HIC 156002 as expired
- Address mismatch — Angi, HomeAdvisor, and BuildZoom show different locations
- Old quote complaint — a 2018 reviewer says a promised estimate never arrived

**Where sources disagree:**
- Angi and HomeAdvisor list 16 Dyer St, Framingham; BuildZoom lists 2 Clarendon St, Worcester. The current campaign record uses 22 Coutu St, Franklin.
