## The honest read

Vieira Painting is Nivaldo Vieira's Lexington-area painting business — a small, family-run operation where Nivaldo runs the crew and, in the shop's early years, his wife handled estimates. The company says it has 29 years of painting experience, working in both English and Spanish.

Its written record runs from 2004 to 2019, and it's a deep one: 29 reviews describe fast turnarounds, including a job finished in three days when five were quoted, careful prep work on old houses like skim-coating 150-year-old plaster walls and working around freshly refinished floors without a drop of paint on them, and Nivaldo personally advising on paint and stain colors. Several homeowners say they hired him more than once over the years, and reviews consistently mention competitive bids among several quotes gathered.

A few accounts are more mixed. A 2006 review says woodwork was painted over without removing loose paint chips first. A 2012 review describes a painter continuing to coat a garage despite storm clouds, and rain then ran the fresh paint down windows and shrubs. A couple of reviews from the mid-2000s mention a language barrier with crew members who spoke little English, and two reviews from 2010 called the price a bit high for otherwise solid work.

For an exterior repaint, plaster work on an older home, or a full house paint job, Vieira's written history through 2019 is strong; since there's nothing newer on file, it's worth confirming the crew and pricing are still what they were when calling today.

**Strengths:**
- Careful prep — protected floors and skim-coated century-old plaster
- Fast, competitive bids — jobs often finished ahead of the quoted timeline

**Concerns:**
- Prep shortcuts — a 2006 review says loose paint wasn't removed first
- Weather call — a 2012 review reports a coat applied just before rain

- **5/5 · Angi · Janet A. · 2017-01-01**: The work is excellent. They repaired the walls, and you cannot even tell there was ever any damage. I have used them several times and will definitely use them again. The price is very fair especially when the quality of the work is factored in.

next owner to prove t…

the garage in spite of dark storm clouds and predicted heavy afternoon
rain. Of course, the paint ran down on windows and shrubs and needed to
be done again …
