UB Painting's written history is old and short: nine Angi accounts, all from 2009 to 2011, back when the Revere company went by JGM Painting — the name its Angi profile says it operated under before. Two of those reviewers named Ubi Barbosa and dealt with him directly. What those customers described is painting with the awkward parts included. In a 2010 review, a homeowner had wallpaper stripped and calcimine ceilings — the kind that crack and bubble — scraped and repainted, plus several rooms and trim, during a renovation. A 2009 customer with a brick house needed only the trim and entryway painted and wrote that the estimate came with color suggestions worth having. Another 2009 reviewer, running a condo project, wrote that he came back to fix repairs, returned calls and showed up for the weekly meetings. Price is the thing to nail down. A 2011 reviewer called the work dependable but said it came out expensive figured at an hourly rate, and the Angi profile notes a second customer who found the work a little pricey. Pulling the other way, a 2011 customer wrote that he didn't add charges after finding more painting on the roof than his walk-through had turned up. Two pieces of paperwork are worth a question. The Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Office registry verified the company's Minority Business Enterprise certification, number 20230267, as active in August 2026, with a listed expiry of 2026-09-14. And the company's Angi listing runs under UB Painting & Renovations, Inc. while the older accounts were written for JGM Painting, so check which name goes on your contract. For interior or exterior painting around Revere — and the listing adds carpentry, deck builds and repairs, and post-construction cleanup, with Spanish spoken — ask for a fixed written quote rather than an hourly rate, and confirm who is doing the work today.
Dependable, and does a good job. Calculating the service at an hourly rate, it's expnesive.
Did a good job, which has stood up to the weather for a couple years. Didn't add more charges when he discovered there was more painting on the roof which he hadn't seen on the evaluation.
JGM Painting did a great job in our new home. They stripped wallpaper, scraped and painted ceilings that originally used calcimine causing cracks and bubbling, painted several rooms and trim, as well as some extra little projects that came up during our renovation. In that way, they were very flexible. The best thing about JGM is their communication. Ubi Barbosa kept me in the loop on a daily basis. We talked often to clarify issues and I always knew what was going on or what the next steps would be. They were happy to accommodate us and repaint where necessary and do touch ups at the end. All in all a great job. A little pricey however.
He did a great job, good quality, timeliness, and i would recommend him highly
Ubi Barbosa is a great guy, easy to talk to and deal with.
