About
A small crew, working out of Harvard.
We started Still River Painters because we'd rather paint a few houses well than chase a lot of jobs at once. Most of our work is repeat customers and referrals from the towns near Still River.
We do plaster and drywall, cabinets, trim, and the careful prep that makes the difference on older houses. RRP-certified for pre-1978 homes — most of central MA qualifies.
