Universal Home Solutions , Inc

Universal Home Solutions is a West Yarmouth painting and remodeling outfit built around one name that keeps coming up in review after review: Andre. Customers describe him personally quoting jobs, checking in during the work, and coming back to fix problems himself — a hands-on owner-operator model that shows up across five years of reviews on Google and HomeAdvisor. The bulk of that record is exterior house painting: full-house repaints, deck staining and restoration, shingle and trim work, with reviewers repeatedly citing careful prep — sanding down to bare wood, cleaning up daily — rather than just the finish coat. Interior work and kitchen cabinet refinishing come up almost as often; several homeowners specifically mention cabinets stripped, restrained and given a poly finish. One 2024 review describes a larger project — a roof, windows, two bathroom gut rehabs, and full interior/exterior paint — suggesting the company takes on bigger multi-trade renovations beyond straight painting when asked. The company holds an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration, #193383, verified directly with the state. A BuildZoom listing shows the same license number filed under an earlier business name, Universal Painting Services Inc — consistent with a rebrand as the company's work expanded from painting into broader remodeling, not a different business. Nearly every review is five stars and specific — quoted job types, dates, even reviewers naming Andre by name across repeat hires spanning years. That volume and consistency is worth noting on its own. But there's one exception worth flagging: a 2023 review describes an exterior paint job from July 2021 that had to be redone within a month because the paint started peeling, and reports the same peeling recurring a year later — the reviewer says they were told afterward that the crew had sprayed rather than brushed the paint on. It's a single account against dozens of positive ones, but it's specific and recent enough to ask about durability and application method before booking an exterior job. Anyone hiring Universal Home Solutions for a straightforward repaint, cabinet refinish, or deck restoration is hiring into a long, well-documented track record. For a bigger multi-trade renovation, the evidence is thinner but real — worth asking directly what scope of work they self-perform versus subcontract.
