Testimonials
Over many years now, we have always turned to Northern Lights Painting when we have needed work for both interior and exterior painting — while their work has lasted for many years, we have a lot of rooms and too many plumbing and roofing leaks. Each time Northern Lights has carefully estimated the work with detailed written specifications, provided good advice as to how best to do the work, arrived when they said they would, and kept to their price estimates. Their workers are professional, quiet, and do a great job cleaning up after themselves each day. Northern Lights also is very conscientious in supervising and inspecting all work done. Needless to say, the paint jobs have always been top notch. We highly recommend them.

Northern Lights has worked with us for the last seven years and their work has always been remarkable. In a world where vendors don't show up and often perform sub-optimal work, Northern Lights puts them all to shame. Their word is their bond. When they say they will be at the job site, they are there, usually early. All their painters are polite, well-spoken and incredibly accommodating. In addition, their work area is always meticulous both during the day and after hours. They take great pride in their work. The work product is also superior and their attention to detail is commendable. They often catch things that I would never identify and then they immediately take it upon themselves to correct any imperfections. Their bids are always accurate and we have never been a position of being surprised by the final cost. They are honest, communicative and a pleasure to work with. I give me highest recommendation to the Northern Lights team. Their finished product is one that you will be proud of.

As someone who used to work in the boating industry, I am familiar with the high level of perfection that is demanded in large yachts, where an unblemished and nearly perfect finish is expected at all times. However, I was completely unaware that this level of craftsmanship was possible in residential painting contractors until we had the good fortune to have our entire house painted by Northern Lights. We were impressed with Mike Traub and Dan Silva even before the work began. They were courteous and presented themselves in a very professional manner. Once the painting began, I will admit that we were astounded at the quality of the work. Our crew clearly took extreme pride in their craft, and even with very careful inspection, we could not find any imperfections in the finish. Additionally at the end of the day, everything was squared away and in order. Aside from the high quality of work, Dan and his team have been a pleasure to deal with in the ten years we have worked with them. They are responsive to our needs, return calls promptly and have always been fair in all dealings we have had. We would highly endorse Northern Lights if you are looking for uncompromising quality and professionalism.

We found Northern Lights Painting to be extremely professional and easy to work with. Dan did a walk through with me initially and explained everything to me very well. The painters did a wonderful job in my home and left everything neat and tidy. We will definitely be hiring them again.

I still can’t get over how professional the team was that worked at my house. I have used other painters in the past, but none were anywhere near as attentive. They answered all of my questions in a very informative way and went to great lengths to protect my home and to make my family comfortable. The quality of their work also exceeded my expectations. They were even able to work around my schedule while still completing the work quickly and neatly. There are cheaper painters out there, but they showed me that you truly get what you pay for. Northern Lights will be my first and only call next time I need a painter!

While doing a commercial project to renovate an oral surgery office I needed to find a painter or painting company that had the depth to paint the entire office in a very short period of time. I was referred to Northern Lights Painting Company located in Stoneham, by a painter that has worked for me for many years, now retired. He led me down the right path. Northern Lights Painting Company was excellent, as simple as that. They were easy to deal with from the beginning and as I adjusted the scope more than one time. They were extremely professional, asking logistical questions prior to the project, i.e. where to park, where to clean brushes, etc. I came to inspect as the two day time frame progressed and they had a vast number of painters on site and each one friendly, pleasant and working as I passed by. When the job was finished and I came to inspect I could not find one drip or missed spot or uneven surface, not one thing to complain about. What they did was exactly what I had asked them to do - a thorough, complete paint job in an insanely short period of time without missing a spot. I was amazed and completely satisfied. I have found my new painter.
