Ronnie The Painter

Ronnie The Painter works out of Peabody, on Boston's North Shore, doing residential painting. There isn't much of a public trail here, and what little exists doesn't help the case: a lone Google rating, and it's a single star. That one mark is a few years old, with nothing newer to balance or soften it — no run of satisfied customers, no second source telling a different story, no recent jobs to point to. One unhappy homeowner from a while back isn't the final word, but there's no body of praise to set against it either. This is a contractor you'll have to vet yourself. Ask for a few recent local references and addresses of finished jobs you can drive past, get the scope and prep steps in writing, and confirm licensing and insurance before any deposit changes hands. Go in expecting to do the homework the public trail can't.
