Stephen Navarro Painting

Used Stephen Navarro Painting for repair of winter damage in our house. They were excellent. Did excellent painting and repair work, always cleaned up at the end of every day, they were very courteous and they work hard to keep you satisfied. Always reliable; the come when they say they will be there. Stephen is always available by phone or e-​mail. As expected, Stephen is very knowledgeable and provided excellent feedback on some issues we were not aware of. In summary, highly recommend Stephen Navarro Painting.

One year + later the work is still flawless on my 133 year-​old house. Flawless.

We had a lot of damage from ice dams this winter… cracks in the texture of walls, cracks around windows, and water spots on ceilings. Stephen took care of everything for us while we were out of town last week. He did an awesome job! The attention to detail was great and everything was cleaned up when they were done. It was so nice to come home to a pristine looking house after a long trip. Thank you Stephen!!!

I sent Stephen an email on Friday. I was looking to have my ceilings redone and all rooms in the house painted. He responded on Saturday telling me that most contractors out there are «jokers» and that if i was going to get many estimates he didn’t want to waste his time. Trying to give him the benefit of the doubt because of the good reviews he got here, i responded letting him know i would be getting one other quote and could he come by on Monday. No response. Who is the joker now? I would never use this company. Very surprised by his initial response to me, very unprofessional. And then, no response back to me when i was still willing to meet with him. Not the way to treat prospective customers. I will be sure to tell everyone in the complex i live in about my negative experience with Navarro. There are a lot of contractors out there, the ones i met were all nice guys, earning a living, not jokers. Good luck Stephen.

We too had an ice dam on a gambrel roof that was resulting in a wet wall. Stephen was great and sent the crew out same day. They were pleasant to deal with and professional. Highly recommend.

Came out quickly to fix and ice dam-​did a thorough and courteous job!

I needed ice dam removal service since water was leaking through my ceiling. I called several places for that and I felt Stephen was THE guy after having a short conversation over the phone. He came out quickly and got the job done in a nice way. What a kind man with a good attitude. He understood how frustrating it is to have water leaking due to ice dam. He explained in details what he is going to do and delivered his work well. I was very satisfied through out the whole process, and I will definitely call him again for other home improvement services that I will going to need in the near future. Thanks Stephen.

I’m going to second what another reviewer said: These guys are as good as it gets. I picked Stephen because of his stellar reviews on Unilocal. We had already had other painters in to quote the ten rooms we needed painted, but we had an instant connection with Stephen. His quote was very reasonable, but it was more than that. When you talk with Stephen there’s just a feeling that this guy knows what he’s doing and will deliver on everything he promised. And he did. Without exception.
When Stephen and his team showed up, there was minimal disruption to the house. And I mean, minimal. They painted the upstairs first so we’d have our master bedroom back as soon as possible. The team uses drop clothes, moves all the furniture themselves, and then clean up all the dust and paint afterwards. These guys are slaves to detail, they go back and check every room after they paint it and will clean up any inconsistency before you can even mention it.
One other thing I wanted to mention is that four of our rooms had wallpaper. Really awful wallpaper stuck on with a glue that took half the wall with it when it came off. The team essentially had to re-​skim the entire dining room. We know this added at least another day of work to the job, but Stephen honored his quote. I just don’t think other painters would have done this.
I have recommended Stephen and his team to everyone I know who is considering painting. Take it from someone who just had paintwork done in the dead of winter, you don’t have to wait for the spring, give these guys a call. You won’t regret it.

Stephen Navarro just finished painting my 120 year old house in Cambridge that was in seriously bad shape. The result is fabulous. They put a lot of time into the prep so that the lumpy, chipped spots are very smooth, the dentil moldings, front columns, mahogany front steps and front door look like the grand elements they once were. His crew of four was timely, and incredibly nice — very respectful of the property and of the neighbors and of our family during the whole job. Steve himself was always responsive, although he is such a perfectionist that I didn’t have to point out anything I was unhappy about.
The job is worth every penny paid!

These guys really are as good as it gets. I found them on Unilocal and was impressed with everyone’s reviews. Stephen came over right away, did the estimate (which was VERY reasonable) and worked with me some on a couple of color problems for the 2 rooms I needed painted.
The crew came over shortly thereafter (Stephen said it would be on «the next rainy day», but we didn’t need to wait for that) and finished the job beautifully in half a day.
I’m happy– and when mama’s happy, everybody’s happy!

Stephen and his team painted the ceilings in my home in South Boston. We had water damage from a leak in the roof and some badly-​done fixes to the drywall. Stephen and team did the fixes, added stain protection, and noticed some problems with our windows and added those into their job! They were very professional and friendly and did a terrific job. You’d never know we had any problems now. I’ve never seen anyone work so quickly! They did everything — moved what needed to be moved (and we had a closet with stuff piles up to the ceiling that they had to empty), covered everything with drop cloths, cleaned up afterwards, put everything back. I’ll definitely hire them again when I need painting done in future.
One note on scheduling: We had this work done in June. This is the busy season for painters; they’re working on a lot of outside jobs. Stephen scheduled our inside job for «the next rainy day». He called the day before to set the time. To avoid traffic, he could start early (7:30) or late (10am). He was spot-​on in his prediction for how much time they needed to complete the job.

This is a work-​in-​progress review since Stephen Navarro’s team is still working on our property, but I felt compelled to write now since I’ve been so impressed thus far.
My husband and I recently purchased a home outside of Boston and we’re still residing in our condo in the city until some work in the new place is compete (it’s an older home). After receiving several quotes for interior painting of the new home, it was Stephen’s honesty, demonstrated talent, fair pricing and professionalism that persuaded us to go with them.
In the past week, they have completely transformed seven rooms (again, work in progress) that are immaculate not only with the actual painting, but also with their clean-​up, supplies, etc.
I should note that we are currently having the condo painted for either rent or sale and the professionalism from Navarro and his team are night-​and-​day from the condo painters. If only we had timed it better, we would have asked Stephen and his team to do both.

We hired Stephen Navarro to paint our home before putting it on the market, and his company did a great job.
High quality work, polite workers, Stephen was at the house to get the ball rolling and again to check the work at the end of the day… and the best part is that they delivered everything they promised (and a bit more) in time and within their original price quote.
They were able to do the job within a week, which made a big difference in our ability to get through the tough process of selling our home relatively unscathed.
We highly recommend Stephen Navarro, and will call him first next time we need any painting done.

Stephen and his crew recently painted my new condo in Belmont. He is truly top notch. When we bought the place we had no idea how much work was actually going to be needed to make the walls look even halfway decent. The sellers strategically hid a lot of problems with furniture placement and when it was all out, we were shocked by all the issues. Enter Stephen, Mike and Scott! They repaired all the problems so fast! By day two, the place already looked 95% better. Once they had completed the job (in 6 days, coming in a day earlier than projected) it looked like a different (and much, much nicer and cleaner) house. We even entrusted him to pick our paint colors, as the ones we picked were just all wrong. He was right on the money and the walls look fabulous.
I can’t say enough about Stephen’s skill, professionalism, and efficiency. I would recommend him to anyone. He is the best!
