Oscar Vico Painting

Oscar Vico Painting works out of Essex Street in Fitchburg and takes on residential and commercial painting, with the directory listing it says it has been in business since 2004 and describing 22 years in the trade. Spanish is spoken. The single most repeated thing customers say is that he does what he says he will. Reviewers describe him arriving on time for the estimate and again for the work, quoting a number and finishing on it - a September 2025 customer wrote that a commercial exterior job came in "on time and on budget", and an April 2022 reviewer summed it up as "Oscar did what he said he would do". The most detailed account, from April 2022, is worth reading if you have a complicated interior: walls needing wallpaper stripping and skim coating, paneled and louvered doors that had been stained rather than painted, their frames, molding and baseboards, and a papered stairwell with a high half-wall. That customer, an experienced DIY painter himself, singled out the sequencing - knowing where to stop each day - and the prep as much as the finish. Other described jobs run across ceilings in a kitchen and hallway (April 2022), hundred-year-old ceilings (March 2022), interior walls and trim with ceiling and wall repair first (May 2021), old kitchen cabinets repainted to look new (July 2021), a stairwell (May 2025) and a power-washed garage roof (May 2025). A 2013 exterior job is described in unusual detail: the house washed with bleach first, painted in two colors, and the crew deliberately not painting in direct sunlight. Two caveats to weigh. The written record is real but uneven in age - the newest review on file dates from November 2025, and eleven of the accounts predate 2021. And the two directories disagree on volume: HomeAdvisor publishes 34 ratings while the Angi profile itself shows only four, with a cross-link on the same Angi page claiming 35. For interior repaints and prep-heavy work in the Fitchburg area, the feedback is consistent and specific. Ask for current references and confirm any licensing or insurance yourself, since neither is on record here.
