The name

Why the name is Yes We Can

Yes We Can Painting is Jorge's company, and the name says what it's about. You describe the job, the answer is yes, and then the work has to live up to it.

That's why the company runs the way it does. Jorge answers the phone himself, often on weekends too. He comes to look at the job when it needs a look, gives you the price and the date, and he's on the job while it's being done. The person you describe the work to is the person responsible for getting it right.

It also means the answer stays yes when a job turns out to be more than painting. A room that needs new drywall, a floor that needs refinishing, masonry that needs repair before the house is painted: the same crew does that work, so the job doesn't stop while you look for someone else.

How we work

How we work

The same habits go into every job, whatever its size, inside or out.

  • Surface first

    Most of the time on a job goes into getting the surface ready. Skip that and no paint looks right for long.

  • Clean lines

    Edges cut in by hand where colours meet, so the lines are straight at ceilings, trim and windows.

  • Enough coats

    Two to three coats, decided by the surface and by how big the change of colour is.

  • Cleaned up

    Tools packed away, drips and dust gone. You shouldn't have to clean up after the painters.

  • On schedule

    You get a date, and the crew works to it. Keeping to timelines is one of the things Rick Finneran's review picks out.

  • Listening first

    What you want done is the job. Questions get answered and concerns get dealt with promptly, as Carol Kolek noted in a review.

More than paint

More than painting

Painting is most of what we do, but plenty of jobs need other work first or alongside it. So the same crew handles sheetrock and taping, masonry, ceramic tile, flooring and finish carpentry. One call, one schedule, and one person responsible for how it all fits together.

Everything the crew does, each with its own page or section:

Where we work

Based in New Bedford, working across MA and RI

We're based in New Bedford. The crew works in and around the city, and across Massachusetts and into Rhode Island.

Working here means old houses with many layers of paint, historic buildings downtown, and weather off the water that tests every coat. Those conditions call for thorough prep, good timing and a light touch with old work, and the crew brings the same habits to every job, wherever it is.

Reviews

What customers say

The crew is rated on Google by the people it has worked for. Here is one review in full; the rest are on the reviews page.

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!
