Our credentials, with the links to verify them
Anyone can write “licensed and insured” on a website. Here are the numbers and the lookup tools so you can confirm it yourself in about five minutes.
Massachusetts HIC registration
#177081
Valid to November 16, 2027. Verify it at the MA Contractor Hub — note that the state moved this lookup in 2026, so a great many contractor websites still link to a dead URL.
Why the registration matters more than it sounds: hiring a registered contractor gives you access to the Massachusetts Guaranty Fund, which may reimburse a homeowner up to $25,000 on an uncollectable judgment. Hire an unregistered one and that route does not exist for you at all. (Mass.gov)
Insurance
We carry general liability and workers compensation. Certificates are issued directly by our agent — not forwarded as a PDF by us — and we will name you as additional insured on request at no cost.
Ask every bidder for both. Workers compensation is expensive in Massachusetts and it is the one some contractors skip; if an uninsured painter is injured on your property, that exposure can land on your homeowner’s policy.
What Massachusetts requires in your contract
For work over $1,000, the written contract must contain the contractor’s name, address and HIC registration number; a full description of the work; start and substantial completion dates; the total price and payment schedule; a three-day rescission notice for off-site signings; and notice of the arbitration option. The deposit may not exceed one third of the contract price or the actual cost of special-order materials, whichever is greater.

One thing we will not claim without showing you the certificate
Lead-safe renovation licensing is the single most important credential for painting pre-1978 MetroWest housing, and it is also the one most easily claimed and least often verified. Ask us for the certificate at the estimate — and ask every other bidder for theirs. Why this matters →
