As a professional painting company, Black Bear Painting Co. has memberships in professional trade organizations such as the PDCA (Painting & Decorating Contractors Association) as well as other professional trade organizations such as the BBB, North Central MA Chamber of Commerce, and BNI. Additionally, we are licensed by the state and in full compliance with all environmental and regulatory statutes. As a business, we carry far MORE insurance than most contractors; including a $2M General Liability Policy, Workers’ Compensation and a $2 million umbrella policy to give you peace of mind.
To ensure the highest quality workmanship we hire only full-time painters — not college students. Each crew consists of a foreman who manages 3-4 painters. The foreman is on-site for the entire project, to ensure that everything runs smoothly from start to finish. For the finest results, Black Bear Painting Co. uses only premium products from manufacturers such as Benjamin Moore, Cabot, California, Sherwin Williams, Sikkens, and others.
