Walyson Benetolo Painting is a Chelsea-based painting shop that homeowners keep calling for whole-house repaints — walls, ceilings, trim, doors — and the prep work that goes with it, like fixing a wall's plaster before laying down color. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, and on Thumbtack the company carries a 5.0 rating across 52 reviews with 50 projects on its profile. What stands out across the written record is precision, not just enthusiasm. In a February 2023 review, a homeowner who called herself a perfectionist described the crew leaving 'not one brush mark' across a family room's walls, moldings and ceiling, and putting every piece of furniture back exactly where it had been. A June 2022 customer said the crew caught and corrected an existing plaster imperfection mid-job rather than painting over it. And in December 2024, a homeowner had an entire ten-room house painted start to finish on schedule, with the owner checking in at each step. The jobs on file range from a single room to a full interior: a 2022 hallway and two master bathrooms that included wainscoting and a vanity cabinet, a 2023 job that paired drywall repair with interior painting where Walyson helped pick the color and finish, and a 2023 repaint of a commercial condominium in Beverly. Pricing comes up once, in a 2023 review calling the estimate fair. There isn't much to flag going in — the written record, while not large, is specific about the actual work rather than just positive, and it spans 2022 through 2024 rather than one burst of reviews. Worth asking about directly is how the crew scopes bigger commercial or multi-unit jobs, since nearly every detailed account on file describes residential interior work. For a homeowner planning an interior repaint who wants a crew known for clean lines and careful prep rather than just a fast coat of paint, this is a reasonable one to call — just get the scope and timeline in writing before the truck shows up.
I would recommend Walyson for any of your home painting needs. He painted my entire house (10 rooms) walls and ceilings. The job was superb, started on time, ended on time. Walyson was very communicative and made sure I was satisfied each step of the way. Every home owner needs someone like Walyson when doing home improvement.
Wally had done a great painting job for a commercial condominium in Beverly, Ma. He was responsive, possitive, friendly and did exactly what we asked for.
Amazing professional! Great price and my baby’s room looks even better than what I expected! Definitely calling again for future projects.
Hired Walyson and his brother to do some drywall repairs and interior painting for my home. He was extremely helpful even in helping me decide which color and finish to apply. I trusted his judgement and it came out beautifully. They have earned a customer for life and I could not be any happier than I was with the end result.
Walyson and his brother did an incredible job in my family room. I am a bit of a perfectionist and I do not normally source contractors from thumbtack but decided to try it. I am SO glad I did. Waly and his brother were total professionals and meticulous with their paint application. Not one brush mark- the walls, moldings, and ceiling all looked as though they had been created in that color- flawless. They were also super careful to protect everything that was not being painted. Every piece of furniture and accessory was placed back in the room just as it had been. The bottom line, Painting is a skill but it takes artistry and a very keen eye to be an exceptional painter and that's what they are. Thank you so much Waly, we will be customers for a very long time to come!
