Olde England Painting

We had let exterior painting go far too long and really needed it done this summer, but it had to happen after we repaved and had the exterior insulated. Paul and his crew were painting our next-​door neighbor’s house and doing an awesome job so I asked for a bid. I also got two other bids and Paul’s was about 10% lower. Paul was great about helping us choose new paint colors, he and his crew did awesome prep work, showed up early every morning, worked long hours, kept the worksite clean, and left us with a beautiful house when they moved next door to paint our other next-​door neighbor’s house. (Three houses in a row!) I highly recommend Olde England!

How is this reported as closed? Paul and his crew just painted our home a couple of weeks ago.
Ok, to start… I cannot say enough about the awesome job they they did. We own a two-​family in Newton that was LONG overdue for an overhaul. The finished product completely blew away any expectations I had. Plus, the process was painless and they were a complete pleasure to deal with.
(Sorry in advance for long review to follow, but there were so many things they did right.)
I took bids from four different painters I found on Angie’s List and from one contractor I knew personally. When Paul came, he seemed very knowledgeable and experienced. He described in detail the materials he would use and why. He said he would paint samples on the house to make sure I was happy. (He was the only one to say that.) Plus, he said something else very important; he would personally oversee and be part of the crew. To me that meant he took pride in the work. In the end, his bid came in at a very reasonable price in the middle. Despite knowing one of the painters, we went with Olde England due to his thoroughness.
They were able to start the job a couple of weeks later. It had taken my husband and I months to pick out a color. Once we did, we were set! However, Paul came and painted different gradients of that color anyway. We wound up going with one of his suggestions, of course. :) I had suggested doing something special with the windows and he put up a couple of ways to do those too.
The next day, they began. They started by cleaning it up. Then they did some minor carpentry (even fixing some things that weren’t on the quote) and commenced painting. The small details they thought of were impressive. They took off the mailboxes and painted them to match. They painted the upstairs porch floor to match the composite one downstairs. One of the guys even painted this old rusted star that my husband wanted chuck… And they did all of this in one week!!!
In the end our house turned out beautiful. We have gotten tons of compliments! Did I mention I cannot say enough about these guys???

I have used Gavin from Olde England Painting for many years! Fabulous!
The painting is outstanding and top quality. This is a long established business and they stand by their work.
In the Newton Neighborhood where I live Gavin is the ‘go to’ guy for exterior work. He is very knowledgeable and does beautiful work. He will bring ‘samples’ and help you choose the most beautiful color combinations. (he definitely has an eye for color)
The team is professional and prompt and leaves the site as clean as possible everyday. Very respectful to home owners.
I highly recommend Olde England Painting. The company is currently doing interior work at my home and the painting is pristine perfection. I can’t believe the transformation. They spent days preparing the walls for paint. Impressive work.
I would give them SIX STARS!

Interesting. I was told that if you don’t advertise on Unilocal,they report the business closed. Unilocal is evil I guess?
