Premier Painting & Wallpapering runs out of Danvers, and the name behind nearly every review is Bill Gilmore — the company says he founded it and has run it for about 21 years. Its stated service area covers the North Shore, from Peabody and Topsfield down through Salem and Rockport, and the actual work matches what the name promises: interior and exterior house painting, plus wallpaper hanging, for homeowners and the occasional commercial client. 102 Google ratings average 4.9, and Thumbtack and Angi both show a 5.0 average, adding up to 72 reviews across seven sites reaching back to 2015. Twelve of those came in during the last six months, and none were negative. The specifics repeat a pattern: a ceiling repainted and color-matched to the existing walls, kitchen cabinets refinished alongside some carpentry work, an exterior repaint on a Lynnfield house that hadn't been painted in roughly a decade, and a full exterior job squeezed into a late-fall deadline so a house could go on the market before winter. Crew members keep getting named by homeowners — Manny, David, Anderson, Tulio — with the same details recurring: careful scraping and priming, daily cleanup, and more than one household calling Premier back for a second project. One thing worth confirming up front is timing: a homeowner in March described roughly six months passing between the initial estimate and the crew actually starting, so get a start date in writing if your schedule is tight. Premier hasn't sought BBB accreditation, though its BBB grade is A+ with no complaints on file, and its Massachusetts home-improvement-contractor license (217142) is active. For a residential repaint, cabinet refresh, or wallpaper job on the North Shore, this is a well-documented choice — just pin down the start date before committing to a timeline.

I just cannot say enough just how very pleased we are with the beautiful job of painting our ceiling and matching the existing wall color Manny and David did for us. Their prep work was the best we have ever had with the painting projects we have had through the years. They were so considerate, friendly and accommodating… I highly recommend Premier Painting to anyone looking for an expert and fair price experience. Susan and Bob

We’ve hired JVS for multiple projects. Josè and his crew do fantastic work. They have amazing attention to detail, excellent communication, and put lots of care into their work. I especially appreciate that Jose takes time to talk through all of the details with me. He was especially compassionate in helping me to feel confident in my color choices while offering his advice and knowledge on specific projects. I cannot recommend JVS enough!

Great job by Bill and his team. I was looking for someone who could refinish the kitchen cabinets as well as complete some small carpentry and outdoor painting. Both Manny and David did a great job and were very professional.

We hired Premier Painting to paint the exterior of our Lynnfield home this Spring, as well as the pool shed. I am very happy we chose Bill and his team to do the work (one of 4 quotes we received). Our house hadn't been painted for close to 10 years and, while it had held up well, it definitely needed it. Our house needed some carpentry repairs, with more surfacing as the house was being prepped. Bill's carpenter Albert was excellent, very thorough and diligent in replacing shingles and window trim in several areas. The painting team, led by Anderson, was tremendous....very thorough in scraping and sanding, as well as re-glazing a good size bay window that really needed it. For finish coat, they use Benjamin Moore High Build, which I saw as a high quality choice. The team was very neat and efficient, completing the job in exactly 2 weeks. I would not hesitate to work with Premier Painting in the future.

My husband and I recently had our home and utility shed painted. The job was perfectly done and looks amazing!! The crew was unbelievable and took good care to make sure everything was done properly. They cleaned up every day after they were finished. The price was amazing too!! I would highly recommend Premier Painting and Wallpapering. Linda and Bruce Faulkner, Hamilton, MA
