Verified record
A 2020 customer described Ultimate Painting doing the kind of preparation that can make or break a house paint job: scraping, priming and painting before the house looked new to them. The Groton painter's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active; the state registry names John Catrambone as its holder of record. That same 2020 customer said John supplied a quote within a day and began earlier than initially expected. The account also mentions replacement of a few rotten shingles during the job, without establishing a separate roofing service. Google shows five stars from one rating, and the written account dates to 2020. For a house painting project, ask for a current written scope covering preparation, any damaged material and the start date. The detailed praise concerns one older job, so those terms matter more than assuming the same timing today.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Ultimate Painting. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Finished floor area of the rooms in scope — not wall area.
Estimated range
$6,000 – $9,000
Typical painting project around $7,500
John is extremely easy-going, accomodating, and professional. His work is top-notch. John provided us with a quote in 1 day and got to work earlier than he originally told us. Our house looks brand new. John scraped, primed, painted, and replaced a few rotten shingles as well. His prices are very reasonable too. I highly recommend John and Ultimate Painting!
