Reviews of local pros in Wakefield, Massachusetts

Florentin & crew did an amazing job transforming the interior of our property from drab and dreary to bright and airy. The job involved sanding, priming and painting dark wood trims, cabinets and walls throughout the apartment. From the get-go, Florentin was on-time and communicative, and gave a reasonable quote after viewing the property. His crew proceeded to do exactly what he promised to do, and even finished the job a few days earlier than anticipated. The quality of the paint job is apparent and holds to a high standard. I look forward to working with Mendez Painters in the future!

Mendez Painters painted the exterior of our house in April 2024. We are very happy with their work. We wanted to find a painting company that would do a good job on our older house (built in 1858) and the decorative woodwork features, as well as addressing the small repairs to shingles and woodwork, filling cracks and gaps, etc. The Mendez team was easy to work with, listened and responded to our questions/requests throughout the project, and paid excellent attention to detail. The house looks great!

Seeing is believing. I noticed Mendez painting working on a house down the street from me a few months ago. I was impressed by how thorough they prepped and prepared. Each day the crew worked diligently on the home and the final result was very professional .

So when I was looking to get my trim scrapped, primed and painted I reached out them. They gave me a fair quote and were eager to get started. Again the most significant portion of their time was spent prepping and preparing. When it was realized one of the windows would need some additional carpentry work they were transparent about it and that there would be a minor additional cost for understandably needing to perform a little bit of additional work. The job was done in the exact time that was promised and the results speak for itself. If you are looking for a fair priced, professional, no corners cut exterior painting I highly recommend reaching out to Mendez Painting.

Summer 2023 - Mendez Team painted our 1860 era house that has various additions. There are several colors and different substrates (some with hardy plank and some very old vinyl siding) and they blended it all to look magnificent! People can't believe some of it is old vinyl siding! The end job was very neat, didn't have any spills or over-splatters. Team of people very polite and talented at their job. We're having them come back now for some interior work. I'll post more when that is complete.

Our house hadn’t been painted in at least 10 years and we started envisioning what our yellow 1872 colonial in Melrose would look like with a new paint job. The yellow on our house was in decent shape but the white trim was flaking off down to the bare wood. The front of our house was also somewhat of a neighborhood “eyesore” due to significant squirrel damage on the upper left boxed-eave return (see pics). Coincidentally, we started noticing “Mendez Painters Inc” signs all over Melrose and we were intrigued because the paint jobs on the houses looked absolutely beautiful! After reading nothing but great views of Mendez Painters Inc online, we decided to give the company a call. We spoke to Florentin Mendez (owner) who ended up coming over to our house the same day to give us an estimate. Florentin was extremely professional and transparent in explaining his processes for both the paint and carpentry work we wanted done. When he looked at the squirrel damage, he explained the best way to fix it and assured us that he would do an excellent job. After the game plan was discussed, Florentin gave us a fair price that we agreed to on the spot and gave him a deposit. That night, he texted us a detailed message listing out the work we agreed upon with the price so that everything was in writing. The next day he showed up with his team and they spent the whole day scraping the white trim and parts of the yellow siding that did not meet their standards. After that, they spent a few days replacing rotted trim and clapboard, priming all of the wood they scraped and fixing the squirrel damage in the front. I watched them remove all of the damaged wood, rebuild a support structure underneath, and then install new wood that fit perfectly and matched the existing wood on the house. One piece they replaced was a detailed strip of crown molding that is no longer made, but they improvised and created an exact match on their own. After this they caulked the seams and filled the screw holes to give the job a professionally finished appearance. Other carpentry work they did involved piecing out missing fascia & clapboards above a window on the back of our house (see pic) and fixing a small hole (squirrels!) on the back of our garage. Before painting, they sanded the entire house smooth, then power washed and let air dry for a couple days, came back, caulked all the seams/gaps and then covered all the windows and doors. They spent 2-3 days spray painting 2 coats of white on the trim and 2 coats of yellow on the siding. While they were painting, Florentin showed me the Benjamin Moore paint he was using so that I knew we were getting the paint we paid extra for. Once they were finished, we were so impressed with how the house/garage looked that we decided to have them paint everything else on our property. Fortunately, Florentin was very accommodating and made this happen! They painted the front porch, back deck, house backdoor, garage doors, bulkhead, and fences all around the property. The fences were in rough shape and needed to be power washed, scraped, sanded, primed, and painted 2 coats on both sides. When all the paint work was finally done, our house looked like a palace, everything was “brand new” and you would think our 1872 house was built in 2020. The only thing left to do was install new gutter downspouts, which I ended up getting from Home Depot after the painters left and was going to do myself, but Florentin came back on his own and helped me! Honestly, if you are looking for painters who do quality work, who don’t take shortcuts, and who care about the littlest of details, do yourself a favor and hire this company. Florentin and his team are exceptional workers who strive to exceed your expectations and make you an incredibly happy customer. These guys are extremely professional, punctual, hardworking, neat, clean, and respectful, and I highly recommend choosing Mendez Painters Inc to paint your house because they will make it look better than it ever did!

Florentin Mendez was extremely responsive in creating a bid, understanding what we were trying to do, and was also very patient with us as we navigated the color process. He and his crew are very skilled crafts people who took the time to do the job correctly; replacing rotting clapboards, letting the house dry out thoroughly btwn power washing, priming, and painting, and attending to our requests as questions arose. Our 1850's house looks fantastic and I would HIGHLY recommend working with Florentin and his kind and experienced team.

Mendez painters were reliable, friendly & paid attention to detail. Their crew came when they said & finished the job in 1 1/2 days.
Their prep work was exceptional making sure they blocked & taped all doors & windows.
I try to use local businesses & this one was worthy! When they finished he took the time to inspect the job with me to make sure we were pleased! I would not hesitate to use them again

Top Professionals with Unbeatable Prices!

Very polite and pleasant, with a clear commitment to quality. They scraped and sanded the entire exterior, power washed all siding and trim, and after proper drying, covered all windows before applying a full oil-based primer. They carefully caulked where needed and finished with two coats of paint. In my 40 years owning this house, I’ve hired painters three times, and none compare to the work of Mendez Painters. We couldn’t be happier!

Mendez Painters performed exceptional work in painting the full exterior of our home. We could not be happier that we were lucky enough to find them in our extensive search for a local company that could provide excellent quality work at a fair price!!

They were quickly responsive to our request for a quote and were not at all pushy as we took the time to compare prices. They then scheduled the job in a timely manner and could not have been more pleasant to deal with regarding logistics.

Once the job began, Florentine and his crew were INCREDIBLY meticulous, thorough, well prepared, clean, and respectful during the entire few days we had the pleasure of working with them. Their diligence in ensuring every aspect of the project was done the right way was evident not only in the finished product, but in their manner of work throughout.

We knew our house required some extensive trim repairs and Florentine was excellent about communicating his expert recommendations to get the repairs done correctly without adding cost outside of what we were comfortable with.

Upon completion, he walked the exterior of the house with us multiple times to point out all areas of repair and ensure we didn’t see any issues with the paint. A few days later (and with more sun) we noticed a small, difficult to see/high up area of trim in need of a bit more paint. With one call regarding this Florentine and a few crew members were at our house the NEXT morning to fix it!

We truly cannot understate the level of professionalism, honesty, and genuinely excellent quality of their work and would highly recommend Mendez Painters to anyone in need of painting or carpentry services!

Mendez painters were friendly, responsive and efficient during our exterior painting job. They responded to every request and ensured the work was high quality. For example, they were very careful with our old windows and brought them back to life. Would recommend for any painting job.

Florentino and his team did an outstanding job refreshing the look of our 1901 home, which took real care and attention. Florentino explained the process from start to finish. The crew did a great job scraping and preparing the house. His carpenters did great work in replacing and repairing loose sills, shingles, and stairs. And the final paint job, including all the trim, shutters, porch railings, bulkhead, etc. came out terrific. He uses oil-based primers and only the highest quality paints, so we’ll be able to enjoy this paint job for years to come!

I recently had my house painted by Mendez Painter. Florentin and his crew - Ervin, Mario and Elmer did an outstanding job from scraping & sanding, to priming (OIL base) to painting. Anyone looking to paint their house, definitely needs to call these professionals. You WON’T be disappointed.

Mendez and team did an incredible job restoring our old home and I strongly recommend giving them an opportunity.

There was obvious pride in their craft and they went the extra mile to do the job right.

The key to a good paint job is preparation and they went above and beyond in the prep work. The existing paint was peeling and Mendez’s team scrapped the majority of our clapboards down to the wood to make sure the new coats went on properly.

From the beginning to the end they were transparent and professional.

Two year follow up:
I was looking at my house the other day and it struck me, two years after Mendez and crew finished, that the paint still looks fantastic!

Our house had a chronic pealing issue and their team fixed it. Two years on and no issues. Will certainly be reaching back out to them when the time does come for a touch-up.
Thanks again!

Mendez painting was great. From the free estimate, which was very reasonable, to the prepping, repairs, priming and final painting, we were very satisfied. The crew worked very hard everyday. We were also impressed with their professionalism, courtesy, and responsiveness to our questions. They were very reliable, and it shows in their high quality work. I've already recommended them to some friends and will continue to do so. Thank you Mendez painting!

Florentino and his crew at Mendez Painters did a phenomenal job painting our house. We are so happy with the results. All phases
of the process were handled professionally and with open communication. They arrived when promised and were very detail oriented during prep and painting stages. Mendez also did a great job replacing some trim boards and adding some additional trim plates behind our exterior lights. I have already recommended Florentino to a few people, including work clients and I intend to use Mendez Painters for other projects over the winter. If you are looking for a skilled painting crew who are hard working, honest, reliable and do great work, Mendez Painters is the way to go.

I recently had Mendez Landscaping do a refresh of my front yard shrubs and landscaping. I’d already hired them to paint my home as I’ve seen the quality work they do. Shrubs needed to be removed (there 20+ years) and flowers beds cleaned & mulched. They did a great job & done in one day! As a bonus they cleaned up my front walkway!! The house looks so much better!! I would recommend hiring them for any landscaping jobs you are considering. Great work at a competitive price!! Also, as expected the paint job was stellar. Best one we’ve gotten done in our 26 years here. Carpentry work also well done. House looks so much better! Here are before/after pics

Mendez Painters did a great job preparing and repainting our house. They put a lot of effort into scraping and power sanding areas with loose paint and multiple layers of old, cracked paint. After the primer dried for a few days, they sanded again with finer grit paper. They carefully masked off windows, roofing, foundation areas, etc to avoid overspray when spraying or rolling primer, then white trim, then yellow siding. They also laid out all of the shutters on plastic sheeting and sprayed them after I did various repairs. The Mendez team is friendly and very hard working.

Mendez Painters did an excellent job and had the best quality communication which is a hard combination to find. The preparation was very high quality and the detailed approach was even more than I expected. They paid such close attention to everything and even let me know about a rotted corner of my roof fascia that they then took care of. My house went from being old to being new! I already recommended them to 2 coworkers.

This was the third time that I painted my house. I hired Mendez Painters this time and they did an amazing job on both the carpentry and the paint. The time that they took to properly prep (sanding, power washing, proper time for primer curing, etc.) will ensure that this paint job will last for years and years. They also took great care not to trample the plants around the foundation! I am very happy with the job that they did.

Pablo was very thorough in his aeration and overseeding service. Even hard to reach spots were taken care of by hand where the aerator and spreader couldn’t access. I’m a big fan of seeing techs that have an attention to detail and aren’t just trying to get to the next house as quickly as possible. Thank you Pablo!

Excellent. Work is always done to my satisfaction. I want to get sure the back yard is fine as well as the front yard. Carol did a wonderful job! She deserves a bonus. She did fertilizer, grub control and weed control.
