# YES WE CAN PAINTING **Trade:** House Painting · **Address:** 58 Oaklawn St, New Bedford, MA 02744 · **Phone:** (774) 510-4840 · **Website:** http://www.yeswecanpainting.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.1/5** (low confidence) — from 0 reviews across 5 sources. ## The honest read Yes We Can Painting is a New Bedford outfit that Angi and HomeAdvisor both credit with about nine years in the trade, working small painting and staining jobs alongside commercial interior surfaces and metal roof coatings. The clearest look at its work comes from a 2025 South Coast Today feature: owner Jorge Barbosa's company repainted a New Bedford building after what the paper described as an overdue freshening-up, a project reported at a cost of $34,600. Beyond that piece, there isn't much of a public record to go on — neither its Angi nor its HomeAdvisor profile carries a customer review yet, and Google shows a single 1-star rating with no review attached to explain it. That lone Google star and the absence of written reviews elsewhere are worth asking about directly before booking — there's currently no way to independently confirm the day-to-day experience of hiring this company. Free estimates are listed on both directory profiles, so a quote costs nothing to explore, but anyone considering a project on the scale of the $34,600 job in the news piece would do well to ask for references from comparably sized work. **Strengths:** - Community repainting job — 2025 news feature on a $34,600 project - Nearly a decade in business — Angi and HomeAdvisor list 9 years - Free estimates offered — listed on both directory profiles **Concerns:** - Single Google rating — one 1-star vote with no review text - No reviews yet — none posted on Angi or HomeAdvisor **Where sources disagree:** - Google shows a lone 1-star rating with no explanatory review, while the only detailed account on record — a 2025 news feature — describes a well-received repainting project; the two don't square with each other. ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - A New Bedford painting company with about nine years in business, per its Angi and HomeAdvisor listings. _(confidence: medium)_ - [Angi](https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ma/new-bedford/yes-we-can-painting-reviews-94782485.htm) — “Angi shows Yes We Can Painting as a New Bedford, MA business (58 Oaklawn St) with 9 years of experience and free estimates offered, but no c…” - [HomeAdvisor](https://www.homeadvisor.com/rated.YesWeCan.94782485.html) — “HomeAdvisor shows Yes We Can Painting as a New Bedford, MA business (58 Oaklawn St) with 9 years of experience and free estimates offered, b…” - A 2025 South Coast Today feature credited a $34,600 repainting project on a New Bedford building to owner Jorge Barbosa's company, describing it as an overdue freshening-up. _(confidence: medium)_ - [southcoasttoday.com](https://www.southcoasttoday.com/story/news/2025/04/29/new-bedford-friends-meeting-bringing-quaker-ways-into-new-era/83249142007/) — “southcoasttoday.com — after Finneran had a chance encounter with Jorge Barbosa, owner of New Bedford-based Yes We Can Painting, an overdue f…” - Its Angi and HomeAdvisor listings describe free estimates. _(confidence: medium)_ - [Angi](https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ma/new-bedford/yes-we-can-painting-reviews-94782485.htm) — “Angi shows Yes We Can Painting as a New Bedford, MA business (58 Oaklawn St) with 9 years of experience and free estimates offered, but no c…” - [HomeAdvisor](https://www.homeadvisor.com/rated.YesWeCan.94782485.html) — “HomeAdvisor shows Yes We Can Painting as a New Bedford, MA business (58 Oaklawn St) with 9 years of experience and free estimates offered, b…” - A single Google rating shows 1 star, with no accompanying customer review to explain it. _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Yes%20we%20can%20painting&query_place_id=ChIJeWb0ofUc2o8RMT7EX88orS4) — “Google: 1★ from 1 ratings” - Neither its Angi nor its HomeAdvisor profile has a customer review yet. _(confidence: high)_ - [Angi](https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ma/new-bedford/yes-we-can-painting-reviews-94782485.htm) — “Angi shows Yes We Can Painting as a New Bedford, MA business (58 Oaklawn St) with 9 years of experience and free estimates offered, but no c…” - [HomeAdvisor](https://www.homeadvisor.com/rated.YesWeCan.94782485.html) — “HomeAdvisor shows Yes We Can Painting as a New Bedford, MA business (58 Oaklawn St) with 9 years of experience and free estimates offered, b…” - Its Angi and HomeAdvisor service lists cover small-project painting and staining, commercial interior surfaces, and commercial metal roofing. _(confidence: high)_ - [Angi](https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ma/new-bedford/yes-we-can-painting-reviews-94782485.htm) — “Services offered (Angi): Small Projects Painting or Staining, Commercial Interior Surfaces Painting or Staining Service, Commercial Metal Ro…” - [HomeAdvisor](https://www.homeadvisor.com/rated.YesWeCan.94782485.html) — “Services offered (HomeAdvisor): Small Projects Painting or Staining, Commercial Interior Surfaces Painting or Staining Service, Commercial M…” - Specializes in House Painting _(confidence: high)_ - [Angi](https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ma/new-bedford/yes-we-can-painting-reviews-94782485.htm) — “Services offered (Angi): Small Projects Painting or Staining, Commercial Interior Surfaces Painting or Staining Service, Commercial Metal Ro…” - [HomeAdvisor](https://www.homeadvisor.com/rated.YesWeCan.94782485.html) — “Services offered (HomeAdvisor): Small Projects Painting or Staining, Commercial Interior Surfaces Painting or Staining Service, Commercial M…” ## License Status: **not_found** — verified against the official MA state registry, never self-reported.
