Randymars Painters Contractors Inc

Randymars Painters Contractors Inc. says it's a family-owned outfit that's painted the western Boston suburbs — Waltham, Newton, Wellesley, Belmont, and a dozen towns between — since 2000. Painting is the core of the business, but the owner, Marco Carrera (background-checked through Thumbtack), and his crew also do drywall and plaster repair and pressure washing, and lately have picked up snow plowing — a side job that's dominated the newest reviews. The ratings agree across every platform that tracks them: 5.0 stars from 18 raters on Google, 4.9 from 52 on Thumbtack — enough for Top Pro status — and 4.7 from 290 on Angi, a history running back to 2018. Nothing negative has landed in the last six months. What has landed is snow-plowing praise: in January, a customer credited a full crew — plow truck, snow blower, several shovelers — with a responsive cleanup during a big storm, and in February a healthcare worker said an early plow-out got her to work safely during a snowstorm. The one painting job reviewed recently, an April bedroom repaint with new closet shelving, was called fast with a clean finish. Painting jobs described over the past year or so have generally been praised as quick and reasonably priced. The thing worth asking about directly is communication: a handful of older Angi reviews describe friction getting clear timelines out of the owner, including a mention of an unprofessional phone response — a real rough edge inside an otherwise strongly and consistently rated history. The company also holds an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Renovator credential, worth confirming if the house predates 1978. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor license (#199445) is active per the state registry, and Angi lists it as an accredited business. For a standard interior or exterior paint job — or, it turns out, a snowed-in driveway — this is a well-documented crew with a long, mostly clean run behind it; just pin down the schedule and how updates will be communicated before signing on.
