Goddards Painting & Construction

Goddard’s was started by Richard Goddard, formally of Reading MA. Richard graduated from Reading Memorial High School in 1975. While in high school Richard worked for one of the largest Antique auctioneering firms in MA. For many years Richard learned about antiques as well as how to restore them. As time went on Richard started Goddard Brothers Landscaping in his first adventure as a business owner. It only took about a year to for him figure out landscaping didn't fill his passion for antiques and historical items and it wasn't the correct field for him to be in. Richard’s brother, Tom, took over Goddard Brothers so Richard could pursue starting another company, Goddard’s Painting Service. Goddard’s Painting Service was started in 1981. Richard began the company by restoring old homes and historic buildings. Richard worked on historic buildings such as the Oliver Wendell Holmes historical landmark, the Sears Estate, the Jordan Marsh Estate in Manchester –by-the-Sea, Parker Tavern, St. Agnes Church, Calvin Coolidge Estate, Phillips Academy, and many more.
