Key facts
Andre — Owner & Master Painter
Andre is the founder and owner of AJ Painting Services Inc., a Massachusetts-based residential painting contractor he started in Ashland in 2013. He walks every estimate personally, leads the in-house crew on every job, and signs off on every final walk-through.
With over a decade of residential painting experience across Metro West and Worcester County, Andre's approach is grounded in two principles: meticulous preparation, and surface-specific paint specification. His crew is EPA RRP-certified for lead-safe practices on pre-1978 substrate, and he specifies premium paint lines (Benjamin Moore Regal Select, Aura, Advance; Sherwin-Williams Emerald, Duration) matched to each substrate rather than running every job through one product.
AJ Painting Services has earned a 5.0-star rating across 29 verified Google Business Profile reviews from homeowners across Ashland, Worcester, Framingham, Natick, and the surrounding Metro West communities.
Available for press interviews on residential painting topics: prep techniques, paint specification, lead-safe practices for pre-1978 homes, cost-of-painting analysis, deck restoration, cabinet refinishing economics, color trends in New England, and seasonal scheduling for exterior work.

Use these as direct quotes from Andre, owner of AJ Painting Services Inc.
On why prep matters more than paint“On a 5-day exterior repaint, days 1 to 3 are prep. Painting is days 4 and 5. That ratio is the single biggest difference between a finish that photographs well for a month and one that still looks sharp in 2030.”
— Andre, owner of AJ Painting Services Inc.
On the best time to paint exteriors in Massachusetts“Exterior paint cures by losing water to the air. Above 85% humidity, the water can't leave — the film stays soft for hours and picks up dust. We schedule Massachusetts exteriors mid-May through mid-October when temperature, humidity, and dew point support proper cure.”
— Andre, owner of AJ Painting Services Inc.
On cabinet refinishing vs replacement“A typical 25-door kitchen refinish runs a fraction of full cabinet replacement. Solid-wood boxes from the last 25 years almost always qualify for refinishing — the boxes were the expensive part to begin with.”
— Andre, owner of AJ Painting Services Inc.
On lead-safe practices for pre-1978 homes“EPA RRP certification isn't optional on pre-1978 substrate — it's federal law. The containment, HEPA vacuuming, and documented cleanup add real cost, but they're what protects the homeowner and the workers.”
— Andre, owner of AJ Painting Services Inc.
On what separates a 10-year exterior finish from a 3-year one“Premium paint over bad prep lasts 2 years. Contractor paint over meticulous prep lasts 6. The painter matters more than the brand.”
— Andre, owner of AJ Painting Services Inc.
