Erivan Da Silva Painting

Erivan painted our entire house during our renovation and as part of this renovation, the flooring and stairs had to be redone after the fact. Erivan came back and spent a day touching up all the baseboards and risers on the stairs (which weren't even in scope during his first visit) at no cost. Erivan is a truly dependable painter and I highly recommend him.

Excellent, couldn’t be happier, thank you!

Erivan did a wonderful job, he even came back for a touch up, after he was paid in full, no questions asked, He is very professional, protects all areas when painting, cleans up and his prices are reasonable. I will definitively hire him again and highly recommend him, which I have already done!

Excellent. Quality work and fair price.

Outstanding. Quality work, fair price and excellent clean up when finished.

Always reliable and prompt, deck looks great and will hire again!!

Erivan and his team did an amazing job on our home. He completely changed our color (from an old, bright yellow to a modern gray), and replaced several rotting boards with high quality materials. He was professional, careful, and spent endless time and energy making sure our house came out looking great. I would recommend him over and over.

We have used Erivan to paint our whole house. He is friendly, professional, and very responsive. He always provides a timely quote and shows up on time (actually he’s usually early!). The work is well done and cleaned up afterwards and he gives good advice. We would highly recommend his work and will hire him again for an exterior job without hesitation.

We are extremely pleased with the exterior painting performed by Erivan da Silva Painting and will definitely use him again in the future. He communicated very well, was prompt, pricing was fair and the finished porch looks better than ever, it is beautiful! I live out of state and manage a building in Boston so finding a contractor that communicates well is very important to me! Thank you again for a beautiful job!

Erivan is great, easy to work with, professional, and his work is exceptional. We have no issues recommending him to others and will contact him for future projects.

I could not be happier with the work that was done in our house! I got to see first hand how professional they are. From communication to prep work to execution. Everything turned out amazing and I know who I am calling when I need my exterior painted next! Thank you!!!

I am so happy we went with Erivan to paint the interior of our home. He was professional, meticulous, quick, and reasonably priced. I will be hiring him for every painting job I have in the future!

Paint and refinish attic walls and ceilings

Because we were so happy with the work that Erivan and his team did on the outside of our house, we were quick to call him when we wanted interior painting. They do such a beautiful job, paying attention to detail, and consulting with you at every point about what they plan to do. They show up every morning at 7:59am, work hard all day, and clean up so that we could use our home in the evenings. We look like we have an entirely new home, and I credit Erivan with that--an exceptional human and a skilled craftsman!

Excellent. Market/fair pricing and excellent work done on schedule.

Erivan has done a lot of painting over the years for our triple decker - exterior and interior. This summer he painted our rental unit and as usual did a wonderful job - he shows up on time, is very neat, and does a very professional job. He also just power washed and stained our first floor porch, painted some new window trims that we'd just had replaced, and also repainted some of the trim around the porch even though we hadn't asked him to do so. It looks great! Erivan takes great pride in his work and we always feel like he's taking care of our home as if it is his own. He is also a very warm and friendly person.

Erivan does a great job. I highly recommend him

Erivan was wonderful. He was so quick, too--set everything up, painted the whole ceiling, and took everything down within two hours. Even coat, clean lines, and no spatters. He was also very pleasant and easygoing to be around. I would absolutely call him again for any painting needed!

Erivan was very responsive; he got the job done quickly and thoroughly. Very easy to work with and when I had questions or had to communicate, he got back to me immediately.

Erivan and his team were great. He was on time, profession, meticulous. The paint job came out great. We will absolutely hire him again for our future painting needs.

Erivan and his crew are exceptional. If I could assign an A+, I would. We hired them to paint the exterior of our house, and they exceeded our expectations at every point. They worked cleanly and efficiently. The ladders were neatly placed in the back at the end of the day, and they carried away all traces of their work. They showed up every day, worked steadily, and did a superior job. I appreciated the clear communication about what they were doing, the cost, and their timeline. They also provided helpful recommendations about how to align the upper and lower levels of the house (2 condos). They paid close attention to detail. We recommended them to our neighbors and plan to hire them again to do interior painting. He is a really friendly guy. He takes pride in his work, and it shows.

Erivan and his assistant did an amazing job! They showed up right on time, prepped EVERY surface, and worked all day. Lots of attention to detail. The end result was stunning. Some of our ceilings had old water damage, and when I expressed concern that the stains might "bleed through," he went above and beyond to cover those areas. I would highly recommend!

I have nothing but great things to say about Erivan and his crew. I think it's important for everyone to know the details of my experience with him to reflect how good he is at what he does as a painter but also how genuine and helpful he is as a person. If you aren't willing to read my long review, here is the short version: Erivan is super responsive, accommodating, and truthful with his quotes. He does an AMAZING job and he is very clean. No dust, no mess and not intrusive in your living space which was impressive for me since I work from home and my office was just down the hall not too far away from the kitchen where they needed to paint. He is one of the few painters you would find to take extra time to cover and seal everything to make sure nothing gets dirty, dusty or stained by paint. Now that that's out of the way, I recommend to take couple of minutes to read what led me to hire Erivan. I needed my kitchen cabinets painted and just like most of you, I started my search by requesting quotes from painters and alike. Erivan was one of the first ones to respond. My initial strategy was to send pictures of my kitchen to people and ask for estimates to speed up the process. I contacted close to 15 people in total and some said they would need to see the kitchen in person and others said they will get back to me within day to give me a quote. Take it from me, NEVER hire anyone who gives you quotes based on pictures. They will either over-shoot their estimate - sometimes because they don't even want to bother with you - or they will start demanding more money in the middle of the job. Always pick from people who come to your house to give estimates. Fast forward few days, I had five people coming over looking at the cabinets including Erivan himself. Erivan examined everything very carefully, asked me what I specifically wanted and explained what he would be doing step by step before giving me a very reasonable and realistic quote. He took the time to explain and train me about the process and his particular choice of products for the job and why it differs from what others may choose to use. Long story short, as much as I liked Erivan and his quote, my wife and I decided to go with some other painter due to some smooth talk and overpromises both my wife and I fell for. He (the other painter, Not Erivan) made us wait three weeks and canceled on us two day before due to "personal" reasons. I have no way of knowing if true or not, but felt like a fool at that point. I contacted Erivan again. He responded almost immediately and said he would help me but needed a day or two to tell me when exactly he can schedule me for. He was in the middle of a job and had other jobs lined up so he wasn't sure if he can even squeeze me in since my residence is more than an hour away from his business. One of the the things that highly impressed me was how responsive he is and he how well he keeps his word. If he says he will call tomorrow, rest assured he certainly will. You won't have to chase him around to get an answer. Just like he promised, he called and told me he had an opening for few days before his next job and I am available first thing the next morning he can do it, Otherwise, it would have to be some other time. I agreed, He showed up at 7:15am the next morning with his worker, and yes, he comes from almost an hour and half away distance. They have done everything the proper way (no cutting corners or rushing through the job) for kitchen cabinet paining including, cleaning with special chemicals, sanding, priming and sanding again, applying stain blockers and few coats of painting. Luckily, the weather cooperated and Erivan was able to use the warm, sunny day to prime and spray the cabinet doors outside in my backyard while his worker took care of the trims and other areas in the kitchen. They both chose to stay until after 7pm that day to make the best out of what the weather offered. They came at 7:15am the next day, put back all the hinges and doors, leveled the cabinets, and even changed my cabinet handles/pulls which I said I wouldn't do. In other words, they even complied my last minute changes that added to their work since he needed to fill up the old holes on the cabinets and make new ones for the new handles my wife really wanted. The cabinets look FANTASTIC. They are nice and smooth and professionally done. He gave me specific instructions what to do and not to do after he left to ensure the cabinets are properly dried and taken care off. They were in and out in matter of two, although very long, days and barely felt their presence through out the process which is especially amazing to me since I work from home and rely on quiet nature of home office space. If the weather didn't cooperate I believe it would probably have been an additional day or two for the job to be completed. Simply put, here is the list of things you should expect from Erivan and his crew: 1) Extremely responsive. His phone doesn't stop all day and he responds to everyone equally without compromising his work time on the job 2) Work ethic is exceptional 3) Honest and genuine 4) Super capable and delivers professional results. He has close to three decades of painting experience 5) Detail oriented and due diligent 6) Very clean 7) Very careful moving stuff around like refrigerators and such and pays attention not to scratch floors 8) He will do exactly what you ask him to do but he will always recommend what's best for you since it makes no difference for him 9) He will treat your space as if it is his and no exaggeration when I say that 10) Respectful and a stand up guy I would not hesitate to hire him again although I wouldn't make him drive that distance if it isn't worth it for him. I took the time to write this long review in order to save anyone time dealing with others. He gets full score from me and I have no doubt you will feel the same if you hire him. See the before and after picture.

Erivan and his team did an excellent job with this difficult exterior painting project. He kept me informed throughout the project and left things extremelly neat at the end of each day. I will definately be working with Erivan again.

He and his assistant were great. They came on time, were pleasant to deal with, reasonably priced and did professional work. Also, did last minute work I needed for a graduation party I was having and went out of their way to come back, out of their way, to make sure it was done well and on time!! Will use again for exterior of house and have recommended to friends. Old fashioned care and pride in their work! Cheryl B. Jamaica Plain MA
