About Yes We Can

The name is the promise

Yes We Can Painting is Jorge's company, and Jorge is on every job. He answers the phone himself, often on weekends too, so the person you describe the job to is the person who prices it, plans it and makes sure it's done right.

Most of what we do is painting, inside and out. Around it, the same crew handles the work that usually means calling someone else — sheetrock and taping, masonry, ceramic tile, flooring and finish carpentry — so one call covers the whole job, on one schedule.

  • Jorge on every job
  • Calls answered, weekends too
  • Homes, businesses and historic buildings
  • Thorough clean-up
How it works

Four steps, and no runaround

  1. Call Jorge

    Tell him what needs painting or fixing. He picks up himself, often on weekends too.

  2. He takes a look

    If the job needs it, Jorge comes to see it first, so the price is based on your walls, not a guess.

  3. You get a price and a date

    He gets back to you with the quote and when the crew can do the work.

  4. Done right the first time

    Prep, paint, clean-up. The next time something needs painting, you know who to call.

Why Yes We Can

Why customers call Jorge back

  • Prep comes first

    Scraping, sanding, patching and priming before any colour goes on. It's the part you don't see, and the reason the finish lasts.

  • Crisp lines, two to three coats

    Clean edges where walls meet ceilings and trim, and as many coats as the surface needs.

  • Every nook and cranny

    Corners, trim and the awkward spots get the same care as the big, easy walls.

  • Hard surfaces welcome

    Weathered wood, coastal spray jobs timed around the weather, and historic buildings that need a careful hand.

  • One crew, fewer contractors

    Paint, sheetrock, masonry, tile, flooring and finish carpentry from one team, on one schedule.

  • On schedule, cleaned up

    The crew keeps to the timeline you're given and leaves the place clean when the job is done.

Close to home

Painting for South Coast homes

New Bedford's houses are a mix of triple-deckers, Victorians, capes and ranches, with brick buildings downtown, and a lot of them are old. An old house usually carries many layers of paint, and wood that has spent years in the salt air off Buzzards Bay. So a paint job here starts with what's underneath: loose paint scraped back, soft wood repaired, bare spots primed.

Outside, the weather decides a lot. Paint needs the right conditions to cure, and spray work near the water needs calm air. As one coastal customer put it: "They worked with me to time the weather perfectly." Inside, older walls often need patching or taping before paint, which is why sheetrock work is part of what we do.

In our customers' words

  • It’s really simple: you call, Jorge answers (even on weekends), you tell him what you need done, he might want to come look at it first, he gets right back to you with a quote and when he can do it by and then the job gets done right the first time. The. You do it again next time you need something else painted. Your painting problems solved!

  • Jorge and his crew are excellent. Super responsive, very high quality, excellent service, prompt, and reasonable. I had a very large project that required difficult outdoor spraying conditions along the coast. They worked with me to time the weather perfectly. Not a drop over sprayed. And the additional detail work on weathered surfaces was exceptional. Use them!

  • We had the good luck to work with Jorge and the Yes We Can crew on a major exterior project on our Victorian home. The outside badly needed repairs, paint scraping and painting. All the work was carefully and skillfully done. Jorge listened to what we wanted done, answered our questions and attended promptly to any concerns. It's a pleasure to recommend Jorge and Yes We Can.

  • “Yes We Can” were contracted to paint the interior of Friends Meeting House in downtown New Bedford Ma. We were very happy with the quality of the work, keeping to timelines and clean up. They really did justice to historic Quaker Meeting House. The before and after results are amazing. I highly recommend them for one’s home or any larger scale jobs such as churches, museums, or commercial project
