Vicente Paint and Handyman Services, run by Christopher Vicente, is a Haverhill, MA outfit whose reviews run from 2018 to 2022, most recently a March 2022 job. On HomeAdvisor, the company describes 20 years of experience across all phases of construction — framing to finish — with a focus on interior and exterior painting, drywall repair, trim and window work, and general handyman jobs. The specific jobs described are extensive. In a March 2022 review, a homeowner detailed a full exterior repaint after a decade without maintenance — hand-scraped and primed windows and trim, cracks caulked, plus a deck rebuild with rot removed and new boards — calling it completed on time and without extra costs despite rot discovered along the way. Earlier reviews describe re-caulking 24 windows and repairing vinyl siding (August 2021), replacing a flood light and installing gutter guards while securing loose siding (April 2021), repairing a dining-room ceiling's drywall hole and matching the texture before painting it (December 2019), hand-scraping and painting three porches (May 2019), and replacing and painting exterior trim on two dormer windows (September 2019). Reviewers across these years describe him as punctual and communicative, several saying the finished work exceeded what they expected and pricing was reasonable. Two accounts break from that pattern. In a June 2019 review, a customer said Christopher walked off a fence-removal and painting job mid-project after a dispute over being paid by check instead of cash, and never returned to finish it. In a February 2022 review — the most recent one on file — another customer described a project that ran months past schedule, was still incomplete at the time of the review, and was hard to get him to communicate about. A February 2019 review also noted he wasn't an expert in plumbing. For painting, trim, and general handyman repairs, the reviews are deep and mostly positive; given the two accounts above, it's worth pinning down a firm timeline and payment terms in writing before the work starts.

We hired Vicente Painting to do several different jobs on our home. The exterior hasn't been properly maintained for at least 10 years so all of the windows & trim had to be hand scraped, holes filled, cracks caulked & multiple coats of primer to seal everything before Painting. We opted to go with complete exterior paint services and we are so happy with the way everything turned out. Everything was completed on time & with no extra costs even though rot was discovered in a few problem areas of the home. We also had our deck repaired, rot was removed & new deck boards were installed. The deck was pressured washed & cleaned before staining it, Chris does fantastic paint & stain work and I would highly refer him to my family & friends as he was so easy to work with & super friendly to us and family. This company gets a 10 out of 10. Thank you for All your hard work. We will be in touch with another job offer soon. Thx Deanna
In the beginning, it went ok, it took a lot longer than I anticipated but understood there was a lot of work to be done, started the project late summer and did not finish until end of December and actually it is still not complete. It has been extremely hard communicating with Chris (as you can see from the messages back and forth). He would forget some tasks he was signed up to do... and right now I am trying to get him to finish 3 small tasks to complete the project (finish handing the molding on the ceiling, finish hanging up one of the outdoor screen and repair the kitchen pantry light (very small inexpensive fixture) as he said he would do. His truck broke down at the beginning of the project and he left it in front of our property for months. When I addressed it with him (because parking is limited in Lawrence and is congested and our tenants; one of whom is in hospice with terminal cancer was concerned), he got defensive saying it is a public street. He has not responded to the last couple of texts that I sent him to finish the job and unfortunately, he has taken a project that I would have probably given him more work and turned it into something that is not a great service since these are the type of businesses I can find on my own without; ones that do not respond and that have communication problems. Owning a 3 family with a cottage, we have people come to work on the property here and there and I can assure you the key is getting the job completely done, and communicating is so important. I am only reaching out to you because he is not responding and I do not know what to do. I have contacted you a couple days ago regarding this but you never responded. Please advise because given the way both the handyman and you are not communicating I will not use in the future nor will I recommend to anyone.
Chris did outstanding, high quality work at my home. He re-caulked 24 windows and repaired damaged vinyl siding. The attention to detail and care with which he worked was impressive. He demonstrated skill and experience in these tasks, and the results were better than I could have done myself (and I consider myself a high-functioning Iâ d-it-yourselfer). He communicated well, and showed up promptly each day, working over three extremely warm days to complete the work. He was cheerful and respectful throughout. He completed the work for the estimated amount. The cost for his services was very reasonable and I look forward to seeking his services for the next project. Iâ d highly recommend Chris and Vicente Paint and Handyman Services for your next project!
Chris and team did a great job with a few projects at our house! Courteous, prompt, thorough. He came when he said he would, did a great job and cleaned up when he was done! Highly recommend!
Christopher Vicente replied to my messages immediately and arrived to do the job as scheduled. He replaced a flood light, cleaned my gutters, installed gutter guard and secured loose vinyl siding. Very professional, cleaned after the job was done, very reasonable. Highly recommended. I would hire him again tomorow,
