Good painting companies?

Has anyone used painters in the 128 area? We are thinking about painting a pretty large open living room, stairwell (with high ceilings) and hallway. It is not a lot, but we definitely want to outsource this. We'd really appreciate suggestions if you guys know any handymen or painting companies. I hate just picking people out of the blue!

Also, if anyone has any advice on how to estimate the cost, I'd appreciate that too! I have no idea if this will be like $500 or $2K!

I used a guy in Stoughton, don't know if it would work for you. I know Ginger has a guy in the city he used for his (gorgeous) kitchen.

We had a hallway and stairwell done for around $400

Thanks, DrL! I think Stoughton is too far. I should have been more specific, we are in Burlington.

Man, I looked on yelp and all the companies that have good reviews have 1-2 awful reviews that are "filtered" for some reason. I wonder what that means. Maybe I'll post on FB and see if any of my friends have recs.
