Looking for someone to do very small interior painting job

[hahathor.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for someone to do a small interior painting job. Basically repainting the ceiling of a room approx 10x12 that has suffered some water damage. The leak was fixed close to a year ago, so it's completely dry; however, my tenants didn't mention the discoloration when the mentioned the leak; I noticed it on walkthrough today (they just moved out). The new tenants don't move in for a week & a half, and I'd love to get it taken care of before then, so someone who can come in on quick notice would be a huge benefit. Like I said, small simple job; I'd do it myself if I a) had a bit more free time and b) wasn't a total klutz.

If you know anyone who might be able to do this on short notice, please let me know. Thanks!
ETA: If you have someone to recommend, please provide a full name, the name of their company (if they have one - don't mind working with an individual for such a small job) and contact information.

Does this person or company have a name? Or just a phone number (which seems a little odd to me).

A full name would be helpful (to future readers as well as to the OP)

Either somervilleguy is trolling, or this is someone who doesn't want his work associated with his full name. In either case, I don't think I'll be following up on this. I hope other folks will chime in with suggestions, though I suspect readership is at a low right now thanks to the disruption of service.

Did somervilleguy delete his comments? I didn't and I doubt that the other mods did either.

I didn't delete them, so probably.

We had a good experience working with Eraldo Scarpatto - he works with Catchlight Painting most of the time (as heard on WBUR!), but he also (with his bosses' blessing, apparently) takes on smaller jobs on his own, and possibly on short notice. Good work, rates felt very reasonable.

I recall some sort of mixup about his phone numbers, but I can't remember what it was. What I have in my records for him was: 617-285-7055 / 857-234-7055. I've also got an email address, but am not comfortable posting that on the web - if the phone numbers don't work, let me know and I can send that along some other way.

Eraldo says he can swing by tomorrow night. Incidentally, it's the second number. Thanks for the pointer.

Glad that seems to have worked out!
