Wadsworth Painting & Restoration, doing business as E.F. Wadsworth & Son, is a family-owned painting, wallpaper, wood-floor and carpentry company based in Duxbury and Plymouth, Massachusetts, working across South Shore towns including Cohasset, Hingham, Marshfield, Norwell, Scituate and Weymouth. The company specializes in restoring historical properties and is now run by its third generation, with Richard E. Wadsworth at the helm and his son Richard O. Wadsworth working alongside him. The Better Business Bureau lists the business as a Commercial Painter in Plymouth, MA, operating since 1979 and carrying an A+ rating, though it is not BBB accredited. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license, number 114842, under owner Richard Wadsworth.

The company's own website describes it as both '68 years old' and having 'over 70 years of experience,' though BBB records show the business incorporating in 1979, about 47 years ago.
