O’connor Painting & Construction

The contractor gave no notice repeatedly and showed up on site to complete work while nobody was home. One day when they were supposed to come and paint, they did not show up. Only carpenters for interior work on Unit 2 showed up. The interior work on Unit 2 was a separate project. When talking with the owner of the company, all conversations involved shouting at me.
The contractor did not use proper ladder safety. The feet of ladders where not down. Ladders were not tied off. Ladders were used on un-​even surfaces. When instructed to fix these conditions they argued back and belittled me. Eventually the ladders were tied off in one location, but not two as required. When a ladder was placed on a lower roof level, protection for the roof was not provided.
The house is older, and it is a requirement to assume all of the paint is lead based. When interviewing the contractor prior to hiring, they stated that all paint would be removed in a safe and legal manner. The paint was hand scraped and sanded, throwing dust everywhere. At the end of the day, the paint dust and chips were swept up, not following MA state law on lead safe work. When i requested that the contractors comply with safe scraping and sanding methods, they left the site.
Plastic over windows was not fully taped and air tight. This does not prevent the lead dust from entering the interior. They only taped the windows immediately adjacent to the work, not the windows within 5 feet of the corner on the opposite side they were working.

Have used O’Connor Painting twice and have been extremely happy with the results. Great pricing and quality work each time.

I was very impressed with the work they had done. They have been in business for a very long time and it is obvious why. The prices were fair and we ended up getting a lot more work done than planned because of our happiness with the work. We would use them again and recommend them highly.
