Pete Martin the Painter

Pete Martin the Painter is a one-person operation out of Gloucester, MA, that the company says is run directly by Pete Martin himself. It works Cape Ann and the North Shore, with a stated territory reaching Rockport, Manchester, Essex, Ipswich, Wenham, Hamilton, Rowley, Beverly, and Salem. Online, the footprint is small. Google puts the average at 4.7 stars, but that rests on just three ratings, and the written reviews on file go back to 2021 and 2022 rather than anything current. What's there points the same direction — favorable — but there simply isn't much of it to lean on. That thinness is the main thing to weigh here: three ratings and a couple of older reviews aren't enough to confirm a consistent track record one way or the other. For a straightforward residential painting job in the towns above, it's worth asking directly about recent work and a couple of current references before booking, given how little independent history there is to check against.
