VP Decor, Inc.

VP Decor is a one-man painting shop: interior work, exterior work, and what the company calls high-end finishing, for houses and small commercial spaces around Boston. BBB has it incorporated back in 2012 — fourteen years — with a single employee and Marcus Pimenta listed as owner, and gives the profile an A+ while noting the business is not accredited. The written history is one review. It is positive, and it is the only one anywhere. Fourteen years of work and a single line of customer testimony is a thin record to hire on, which is why the rating here stays cautious no matter how good that one review reads. The thing to settle before signing anything: the state lists its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 209917, as expired. That registration is what gives a homeowner access to the Guaranty Fund if a job goes wrong, so ask directly whether it has been renewed. The company separately says it is EPA certified, giving number R-I-18499-10-31731 — worth confirming too, since that is the lead-safe credential that matters on any pre-1978 house. A reasonable call for a straightforward repaint where you can check the work yourself. Get the registration status and proof of insurance in writing first.
