U Pro Painting & Upgrades

U Pro Painting & Upgrades is a Manchester, NH painting crew that homeowners keep calling back for interior and exterior work — kitchens, decks, whole-house repaints before a sale, stairwells, rental units. The company describes itself as a local, non-franchise operation with its own crew rather than subcontractors, and says it's female- and Hispanic-owned and operated. What stands out across two years of Google reviews is how specific the praise stays. A Realtor needed exterior repairs finished fast to close an FHA loan and got it in a day; a loan officer's client faced a similarly tight window before closing and the crew scraped and painted a large exterior in short order; someone moving into a new house had the whole interior painted through what they called an organized, communicative process start to finish. Several reviewers name Liz and Rene directly and describe drywall patching alongside the paint work — small wall-damage repair and wallpaper removal both show up in reviews too. Lead paint comes up more than once. One customer picked U Pro specifically because it was the only company they interviewed that followed lead-safe guidelines throughout; another, whose home likely had lead paint, says the crew supplied lead-safe certification paperwork and took precautions to limit dust and chips — consistent with the EPA Lead-Safe Certified status the company states on its site. There's no negative review on record to flag, and nothing here to raise before booking — the things homeowners usually worry about (scheduling, communication, cleanup) are exactly what reviewers keep praising instead. New Hampshire has no statewide license requirement for painters, so there being no license on file isn't a mark against them. For a straightforward interior or exterior repaint — especially on an older home where lead paint could be a factor — this is a crew with a track record of hitting tight timelines without leaving a mess behind.
