About
Houlihans Painting

With over 25 years of experience, I bring the precision of a master craftsman to every project. Originally from Cork, Ireland, I developed a love for fine workmanship early in life, and that dedication has guided my career ever since. Now based in Norfolk, MA, I serve Medfield, Sherborn, Wellesley, and surrounding towns, applying the same care and skill that have earned the trust of my clients over decades.

As a licensed home improvement contractor in Massachusetts, I specialize in high-end residential painting and historic restoration. I use only the finest paints and materials, ensuring every surface is prepared with care and every detail executed to perfection.

I have built my business entirely through repeat clients and referrals. Homeowners invite me back as their homes evolve, and I earn that trust by doing the work the right way with careful preparation, exceptional materials, and craftsmanship that endures.

Exterior Painting and Restoration

New England weather can be hard on a home, and proper exterior painting takes patience, skill, and thorough preparation.

With many years of experience, I bring a craftsman’s approach to every project, from repairing damaged woodwork and restoring aging trim to applying premium, weather-resistant finishes that stand up to harsh winters and humid summers.

I take the time to prepare every surface carefully and use only the highest-quality materials, ensuring your home is protected, beautifully finished, and built to last.

Interior Painting and Fine Finishes

Interior work demands a steady hand, a careful eye, and respect for the character of each home. With years of experience — including projects for our local historical society — I specialize in restoring interiors with the same level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that has guided my entire career.

Whether I’m matching historic finishes, repairing old plaster, or creating a clean, updated look for a home that’s going on the market, I give every surface the attention it needs and rely on top-tier materials to ensure a finish that looks beautiful, feels true to your home, and remains durable over time.

Carpentry and Household Repairs

I handle carpentry and repair work with the same care and attention I bring to every painting project. From repairing worn trim and molding to building custom woodwork that fits your home perfectly, I focus on precision, quality materials, and lasting results.

Whether it’s fixing damage, updating details, or creating something new, my goal is to ensure every piece of woodwork looks beautiful, functions perfectly, and complements the character of your home.
