Who we are

Rico Painting is a house painting company serving Worcester, MA and six nearby towns: Shrewsbury, Holden, Auburn, Northborough, Westborough and Leicester. We paint interiors, exteriors, kitchen cabinets and decks, repair rotted wood, and pressure wash, and every job starts with a written, itemized estimate.

How we work

Painting done the way older homes need it

Worcester County homes are old and varied: three-deckers with stacked porches, Victorians, Capes, Colonials and mid-century ranches, most with plaster walls and many layers of paint. They need more than a fresh coat. They need the prep that makes paint last: washing, scraping, sanding, priming bare wood, caulking joints and fixing rot before color goes on.

That is how Rico Painting approaches every project, from a single bedroom to a full exterior. You get the price in writing first, your home is protected while we work, and the job ends with a walkthrough and a clean site.

Reviews

What our customers say

  • Professional, Reliable, and Detail-Oriented

    From the first conversation to the final walkthrough, everything went smoothly. The crew repaired damaged exterior trim, prepared every surface carefully, and delivered a beautiful paint job. Our home has never looked better. Highly recommended!

  • Our Deck Is Ready for Summer!

    Our old deck was looking faded and worn out, but Rico Painting brought it back to life! The preparation was meticulous, and the new stain looks absolutely beautiful. We finally have an outdoor space we’re excited to show off again!

  • The Best Decision Before Selling Our Home

    We wanted our home looking its absolute best before putting it on the market. Rico Painting refreshed the walls, ceilings, and trim, and the results were outstanding. Every room looked clean, bright, and move-in ready. Such a worthwhile improvement!
