Most unprofessional painters who don't know the first thing about painting a house. I paid them $13,200 for an exterior paint job that looks worse than my 9 yr olds finger painting pictures. Marcelo is a disgrace and should be ashamed of his work. I have tons of pictures to prove it. He doesn't back his work. read more

So disappointed. Everything started off fine. Marcello showed up on time eager to do the work and quite pleasant. Everything was ok. Then it wasn't. He brought in workers who did absolutely no prep work. And when brought to his attention Marcello copped an attitude. He kept pushing for a cash advance. Then he just didn't show up. I would contact him to get him back but relieved he disappeared. Didn't respond to texts. Stay away. read more

I have worked with All Pro twice now for both indoor and exterior painting. Marcelo's crew is talented, hardworking, polite, and considerate. Great price for great work. Highly recommend. read more

I had a very strange experience with Marcelo Botelho at All Pro Painting. After having 2 ice dams fixed and the ceilings in those two rooms, repaired and touched up, we wanted a second coat of paint to even things out. I have a painter whom I love, but he was busy for the next couple of weeks and my husband was itching to have the work completed quickly. I contacted Marcelo through Facebook messenger as he has a very strong social media presence and I'd seen him post 'before and after' shots of jobs he'd done in the area. I like to try and give business to local companies and after checking out his positive reviews, I messaged him regarding the ceilings. Without seeing them, he quoted a price that was literally double what we were quoted from our usual painters. I thanked him for the quote but stated I wouldn't be using him (although I didn't mention that it was because his quote was so unreasonable) and he wrote back, dropping the cost significantly and stated he could be there the next morning (Monday). Bidding without seeing the job and then dropping the price so drastically should have been my first red flag. The job was still $160 above my usual painter's quote but having it done quickly was worth it to us. His workers (Daniel and Kidu (sp?) showed up on time and completed the job in 3 hours. (The stars are for them). We had some larger jobs we wanted quoted, one being the interior of our garage, and later that day, Marcelo quoted us $699 for the job (competitive with the one our painter gave us and based on what his painters saw when they were working at our home) so we agreed and he stated his painters would be back 8:00 am the next morning (Tuesday). My husband moved everything out of the garage and in to the driveway but no one showed up that morning. After waiting 45 minutes, I texted Marcelo to find out where the painters were and he told me that his painter stated it was raining (it wasn't, nor did it rain until that evening) so he couldn't do the job that day but would come back the next morning (Wednesday). My husband then moved the contents of the garage in to our foyer. Needless to say, 14 minutes before the scheduled arrival time on Wednesday, I received a text from Marcelo stating his workers would not be there that day but could come on Friday or Saturday that week. I told him I'd have to keep him posted (as we were expecting company for the weekend). My poor husband....he moved everything back to the garage again. The next day (Thursday), I contacted him to let him know that our weekend plans fell through and if he could still come Friday or Saturday, that would be great. He stated Saturday would work....and then sent an additional text, increasing the price of his original bid by 11.52%. Now mind you, we had insulation blown in from Mass Save earlier in the month and the original quote included some sanding at the spots where holes had to be made and patched, and in my prior communication, I let him know that my husband had done all of the sanding so that all we'd need was the painting (less work than he bid on) and I did not haggle with the original price...I never questioned him about the $699 we agreed to. I was just happy the job was going to get done quickly. Somehow though, even with less work needed than he quoted for originally, the price mysteriously went up to $790. When I questioned him about it, his response was "it's a lot of work". I was so disappointed. Both my husband and I are in Real Estate for over 20 years and my brother renovates homes in Brookline and Needham. We've given our HVAC person, Tile person, Painter (whom I reviewed here years ago) Roofer, Contractor, Electrician, etc....so many referrals, that they've discounted work we've needed done (without our asking). I take great pride in the people I refer which is why I am writing this review. I could not in good conscience, recommend All Pro after seeing their dishonorable business practice. If I ran by business this way, I wouldn't have any business. I assume the run-around was because he lined up larger jobs since I saw him posting on Facebook with more 'before and after' photos. I never put my bigger jobs above my smaller ones once I've commited myself. Commitment, communication and honesty are things I value above all else. As a side note, although our original painters stated they could come within the next 2 weeks, and a third painter who had given us a competitive quote, stated he'd feel more comfortable doing the job once the outside temperatures reached 60 degrees (with the way this spring is going, that could have been June), my husband became so frustrated, he decided to do the job himself. Luckily for me, he is meticulous and by the end of the weekend, the garage was painted (which included the floor which we had not intended to do originally) and as of this evening (Monday...one week since this whole mess started) everything is now back in its proper place...and it looks fantastic! read more

I would highly recommend using Marcelo Botelho and All Pro Quality Painting for your next project! Marcelo was incredibly fast to respond to my initial inquiry and was able to start and finish my large job just days later so that everything was complete before we moved into our house (despite the 4th holiday weekend). His team arrived promptly each day and left the house clean and in great shape. Our house is old and has lots of complex molding and Marcelo was a pro-- he painted all of the walls perfectly with perfect lines. Marcelo was incredibly reachable throughout the process and also advised on colors. His quote included all paints and supplies. I would highly recommend Marcelo and will use him again for our future projects!! read more

A couple of years ago I hired All Pro to do some exterior paint touch ups. One of the spots they painted was a bulkhead door. Unfortunately, the paint on that door didn't hold up well. Just two years after finishing the job, the door was again rusted and the paint worn. I emailed Marcelo and within just a couple of days he was out to the house to repaint the door and he never sent me a bill. I appreciated his willingness to stand behind his workmanship. read more

After calling several painters who never returned my calls, a neighbor recommended Marcelo - All Pro Painting. Marcelo returned my phone call the same day and quickly gave an estimate based on photos I provided. On the scheduled day (less than 2 weeks later) he and his colleague arrived at 7:15am and basically worked non-stop, completing two bedrooms - walls, ceiling and trim work - in one day. The rooms look amazing; great attention to detail. No surprise in cost - estimate held. I highly recommend Marcelo. Call, you won't be disappointed. read more

I am giving All Pro Quality painting two stars for three very specific reasons. In general, the paint job they did was fine, but I would not use them again. First, I arranged three weeks in advance for them to come on a Monday. I triple checked because it was Memorial Day, but they said they would definitely be there. When I called to confirm a week ahead, they said, "Oh yeah, we might come Tuesday or Wednesday." I told them my husband and I couldn't take that time off, and we went back and forth. Eventually, we landed on the preceding Friday, but my feeling is that when you make an appointment, that's your appointment. This whole "yeah we're coming later, not sure when" doesn't really sit well with me. Second, they left a really big scratch on one of the walls; I think it was a ladder mark, but it was very large and very obvious. I was able to paint over it myself, but still. Third, the previous owners had clearly painted themselves, and there were little "dings" of paint contact on the ceiling where they'd accidentally bumped with the paintbrush. It was a really obvious color-- dark khaki against white, and our new walls were an off-white. With painters I've hired in the past, they always have a decorator white to touch up the ceiling as they go along. All Pro didn't do that, and left this weird seams and splashes on the ceiling. We didn't technically hire them to paint the ceilings, but not touching up those little splashes seems a little ridiculous. To be fair, they were on time, and they were less expensive than a lot of the other people I called, but leaving a big gash on the wall, not touching up, and all of the random rescheduling was really frustrating. read more

Marccello did a fantastic job painting my cafe. I called at noon on Thursday and he was there by 4:45 that evening to meet with me and my interior designer. He and his crew began painting when we closed the following night and the job was finished by 1pm on Saturday. Everyone was incredibly professional and I am absolutely in love with the results!!! I would HIGHLY recommend to friends and family and I look forward to working with him in the future. read more

We recently moved into a house where the previous owners had painted themselves. Needless to say, they had done a terrible job. I requested a quote from Marcelo for our master bedroom. He responded very quickly with a fair price. One wall in the master had a painted criss cross design and you could feel where they removed the tape. By the time Marcelo was done you can't tell that it was ever there. He also took the time to sand down other imperfections. It's amazing how fast they worked! We loved the results so much that we hired Marcelo back to paint our living room with vaulted ceilings and we will have more jobs for him this winter. The living room is perfect now! He is professional, responsive, courteous and excellent at his work. I can't wait to have him back to do more! read more

I sent an email inquiry to their website very late Friday evening of labor day weekend and was shocked when I receved a response back that Sunday apologizing for the delay (I rarely get ANY responses when I submit inquiries over websites yet alone a response on a Sunday over a holiday weekend)! I had an "emergency" paint job of sorts. Smoke damage in the kitchen that I'd tried to clean (unsuccessfully) and I needed the ceiling painted prior to having a wood floor installed - scheduled for the following week. Though Marcelo's schedule was busy he was able to fit the job in and Daniel and he did a beautiful job. My floor is now done as well and I feel like I have a whole new kitchen! I have a couple more paint jobs coming up over the next few weeks, and will definitely hire these guys again. Will try to post some pics and give an update when all is done. read more

Marcelo and his crew did an AMAZING job painting a large portion of the interior of our house. They were very neat, clean., polite and respectful. Would highly recommend All Pro Quality Painting for any painting needs - interior, exterior, kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, etc! read more

Marcelo painted the exterior trim on my house yesterday after we had painted the rest of the house and decided we were never going to finish it. I am so happy with the results. The house looks great. He did my front door as a bonus and it all looks great. Marcelo is so polite and he and his painter work quickly and quietly. You almost don't know they are there. I highly recommend them. read more

Marcelo was wonderful to work with. He was very prompt with responding to my request and overall I was impressed with how quickly he and Daniel were able to get the requested job done. We had our kitchen cabinets, trim and a wood paneled addition painted. The cabinets were less than half the cost that we were quoted from our contractor. They look great though I will mention that they do not remove the hinge hardware/take the cabinet doors off to paint, so if you are going to replace the hardware, do so beforehand. We did have a miscommunication at the beginning of the project and some of our cabinets were painted the wrong color. Marcelo quickly fixed the error and at no extra cost. We were impressed with the quality and value All Pro Quality Painting provided with the initial projects and decided to quote exterior painting. We ended up having them do 3 sides of our house and it looks fantastic. They took the time to repair the siding and use a high quality primer to extend the wear. I only give 4 stars instead of 5 because there were some spots that were a little careless - paint splatter on our kitchen counter, brush strokes on the window cranks, siding paint on the exterior trim. In all fairness, they did come back and fix the exterior trim spot when I pointed it out so I'm sure would have fixed the other things if I asked. Overall though the quality of the work is excellent for the price and I highly recommend them. read more

Marcelo was fantastic! He painted my very large family room walls, ceiling and trim around 5 windows today. I left for work in the morning and came home later today to a gorgeous finished space! He and his crew are hard working and take tremendous pride in their work. I will definitely use him again He left my home impeccably neat and clean. read more

We are super happy with our kitchen cabinets. What an amazing change you did. Thank you for everything and for leaving a sample can for us. We highly recommend this company. read more

Marcelo and his team did an amazing job at our house! They worked fast and efficiently painting most of our house interior walls, kitchen cabinets, front doors and stair railings. Very quality workmanship. My house looks amazing and I'm very pleased. Use Marcelo if you want the job done right! read more

Marcelo and his crew at All Pro Quality Painting did an excellent job painting several rooms worth of walls, ceilings and trim in our home. He responded immediately to our inquiry and was able to visit our home within days to give us an estimate. His estimate was reasonable given the amount of work and we didn't even look for another quote from anyone else. Marcelo was quick to work us into his schedule and communicated changes promptly. He and his assistant were pleasant to have in the house and accommodated my kids and I being home while they worked. They took great care to protect anything that we could not move out of their way and did a wonderful job of cleaning up the work areas each day. The rooms they painted look amazing and I would highly recommend All Pro Quality Painting to anyone looking for a painter! read more

We just had our family room painted today by All Pro Quality Painting! It looks incredible! Marcelo and crew were very friendly, did a high quality job efficiently, and gave us some expert painting advice (we were painting a different room!). In fact, they did such a great job that we are having them come back to do our kitchen and entryway next week! They are excellent, I cannot sing their praises enough! They are helping us have an easy transition in making our new house become our new home! I am very much looking forward to them coming back next week! read more

Unfortunately, I have to edit my last review of Marcelo and his team. They did a small job for me - painting a front door and it started bubbling two days after they completed it. Marcelo told me he'd be back to fix the job a number of times (after having to remind him several times), and has NOT shown up since. Totally unacceptable after accepting payment for a job that was not done competently - I very unhappy and will not recommend him to friends or use him in the future. Very disappointed and would like my money refunded for the subpar work. read more

Marcelo was fantastic! His crew were professional and very tidy. Very punctual and completed the job in 2 days to perfection. His prices are very fair and affordable. I will definitely use Marcelo again and refer to friends and family. read more
