He was meticulous in the treatment of my project as if it was his own. This is the second time I have used him and he does not disappoint. His pricing is extremely fair and he takes the extra step to go above and beyond. I highly recommend Gary for your future paint jobs. For your reference...Gary painted my kitchen cabinets, walls, livingroom walls, down the hall, up the stairs and the upstairs hall, some of the trim, and all the heater covers. I am thrilled with the finished product! **★★★★★ — Megan, March 2026** > Phenomenal work and a true professional. Gary is reliable, trustworthy, and clearly takes immense pride in his craft. I especially appreciated his patience while helping me select the perfect color to achieve the specific 'feel' I wanted for my dining room. I cannot recommend him highly enough! **★★★★★ — HU-692749913, Sept. 2024** > I can’t recommend Gary Davis enough as a professional painter and trusted advisor through the process. Gary did a phenomenal job to paint our entire first floor, inclusive of entryway, stairway, formal room, family room kitchen, and powder room. He has high attention to detail , patching and smoothing out necessary areas of my historic home, while painting with very clean lines and a stellar finished product. Gary is very thoughtful and creative, sharing his perspective that helped me finalize paint colors and flow from room-to-room, which can be very daunting with the number of paint colors and brands that exist today! He showed genuine care and patience around the decision making process to ensure I was comfortable with the outcomes. On top of this all, he’s a pleasure to have around the home- very trustworthy, professional AND friendly! I will plan to reach out to Gary again for my future painting needs! **★★★★★ — Kate Sampson, Feb. 2023** > Gary is one of the very best contractors we've worked with of many over the last few years (including several painters): he punctual amd responsible but also easy going, fastidious, supremely talented. He is a "real" painter and artist (of fine artwork--unbelievable paintings) and it shows in his work. He painted our kitchen cabinets, and his brush strokes are so precise and smooth it literally looks like thet were stained white and are new, not painted somewhat banged up cherry. We have a new kitchen at a fraction of the cost of an actual new kitchen. He has a great eye and is pleasant and easy to have around, and right on budget. The best of the best. Do not hesitate. **★★★★★ — Judy Maguire, Jan. 2023** > Gary was a pleasure to work with. He painted our home office and it looks great! He was easy to communicate with too. I will hire him again for sure. **★★★★★ — Jennifer Ryan, Aug. 2022** > Gary did such an amazing job painting our house. And so fast! Such a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend him. **★★★★★ — Pat Tynan, Aug. 2021** > Gary just finished painting our kitchen cabinets and we are thrilled with the outcome. He is a true professional who is detail oriented and takes pride in his craftsmanship. He is reliable and a pleasure to have in your home. We would recommend him without hesitation. **★★★★★ — la4224, April 2021** > Gary is wonderful! Meticulous attention to detail, he’s handled extensive wallpaper removal, wall patching, and painting for us and we’ve been pleased with all aspects of his work. He’s neat, has a great eye for color/color selection, and is responsive to any questions, concerns, or requests you might have during any project. **★★★★★ — Michele, March 2021** > Highly recommend Gary! He just finished a month long process of wallpaper removal and painting that went so well we added another room to the project. From the initial meeting to receiving a quote until the end of the process, Gary was friendly, reliable and professional. As much as life could have been disrupted with 3 kids under 6 coupled with painting the majority of your house, Gary was very respectful, left the work space cleaned up daily, and most importantly, we were very comfortable having him in our home during Covid. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out and will definitely reach out for future projects. **★★★★★ — ddavies1212, Jan. 2021** > Gary was fantastic. High quality work, accurate estimate, and on-point color recommendations as well! On top of that, he was a genuine pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — Sheila Stehlin, Nov. 2020** > Gary did a fantastic job at our house on Plum Island. His time estimate was accurate, he adjusted the color when we wanted it lighter and he was thorough and tidy. The end result is fabulous! I love that he is the owner and the painter and that he does 100% of the work so you know he really cares and it shows. Couldn’t be happier! **★★★★★ — Paula Warner, Jan. 2020** > Gary just finished painting my entire condo in downtown Portsmouth. He did an amazing job. He is very professional and easy to work with. I could not be happier with his work product. I will recommend him to my friends, family and clients. ## Selected projects - [Residental Living Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/residental-living-room-pj-vj~6529860) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Residental child's bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/residental-child-s-bedroom-pj-vj~2843136) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Triangle wall graphics](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/triangle-wall-graphics-pj-vj~5553999) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Residental dining room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/residental-dining-room-pj-vj~6279467) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Children's Art studio project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/children-s-art-studio-project-pj-vj~5651109) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Boxford Residence Living Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/boxford-residence-living-room-pj-vj~278101) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - Description: Walls: Sea View 836 Ceiling: Philadelphia Cream HC-30 Benjamin Moore - [Graphic soccer mural](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/graphic-soccer-mural-pj-vj~5507917) - Location: Winchester, MA - Photos: 1 - [Residential living room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/residential-living-room-pj-vj~5906830) - Location: Concord, MA - Photos: 1 - [Carlisle Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/carlisle-residence-pj-vj~278275) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - Description: Walls: Bryant Gold HC-7 Trim: White Dove Benjamin Moore. - [Wellesley Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wellesley-residence-pj-vj~602017) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - Description: Walls: Edgecomb Gray (HC-173), trim: Super White.

The cabinets were a cherry stained and the finish color ( a warm, light Gray) made quite a difference. Thanks **Q: Wall adhesive** *(in Photo Questions)* Where did you purchase the wall adhesive for the baby's name? A: The decal was found on Etsy.com on the Decal Lab site. **Q: Paint color** *(in Photo Questions)* What paint color was used on the walls? A: The wall color is Benjamin Moore French Lilac \#1403 **Q: What paint color was used on the walls?** *(in Photo Questions)* What paint color was used on the walls? A: The wall color is Benjamin Moore Lavender Mist 2070-60 **Q: Help!! I have no idea what to put in this corner.** *(in Design Dilemma)* I need help figuring out what to do with this corner in my living room/dining room combo. The corner is to the right of the Entry way - to the left is our entertainment center. I was thinking of getting 4 more of the same white bookcases to hug the wall but I don't know how I will fill up 4 more bookcases worth of shelves. Plus they're not cheap. Any suggestions?? Thanks!!! A: I would hang some art in there....maybe a large vertical one on one wall and a series (three?) hung vertically. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-30.*
