No more watching paint peel off your siding after two winters. No more living with that “good enough” interior job that looks amateur every time you walk in the room.
Your home gets the weather-resistant protection that actually lasts in New England’s brutal climate. Exterior surfaces stay beautiful for years, not months, because we use premium paints and proper application techniques that most contractors skip to save time.
Inside, your rooms look professionally finished with smooth walls, crisp lines, and that satisfaction that comes from finally getting it done right. You stop making excuses for how your home looks and start enjoying it again.
Fine Coat Painters has been working in Andover long enough to understand what this community’s homes need. Historic Colonials with original plaster and trim require different techniques than modern construction, and we know the difference.
We’re fully licensed as Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractors and carry comprehensive insurance because protecting your investment matters as much as improving it. When you hire us, you’re working with professionals who follow state regulations and industry best practices.
Most importantly, we show up when scheduled and finish when promised. That reliability matters when you’re coordinating around work schedules, family life, and New England’s unpredictable weather patterns.
We start with a thorough assessment of your home and provide a detailed written estimate with no hidden fees or surprise charges. You know exactly what you’re paying for before any work begins.
Surface preparation comes next, and this is where most painting projects succeed or fail. We scrape, sand, caulk, and prime properly because cutting corners here means your paint job fails in two years instead of lasting seven to ten.
During painting, we protect your furniture, floors, and landscaping with quality materials. We apply premium paints using proven techniques that ensure even coverage and professional-grade finishes. Each workday ends with complete cleanup so your home stays livable throughout the project.

Complete interior and exterior painting services designed specifically for Andover’s climate challenges and architectural styles. This includes thorough surface preparation, premium paint application, and detailed finish work on trim and moldings.
For exterior projects, we use 100% acrylic latex paints formulated to withstand Massachusetts weather extremes. These paints flex with temperature changes and resist the UV damage, moisture, and freeze-thaw cycles that destroy inferior paint jobs.
Interior work includes wall preparation, ceiling painting when needed, and precise trim work that separates professional results from amateur attempts. We also provide color consultation to help you choose finishes that complement your home’s character while reflecting your personal style.
Most exterior painting projects in Andover take 4-6 days for an average-sized home, depending on prep work requirements and weather conditions. We build realistic timelines that account for Massachusetts weather patterns and never rush preparation work.
Homes requiring extensive prep work—such as scraping multiple layers of old paint or repairing weather damage—may take longer. We assess these needs during our initial visit and give you an honest timeline upfront.
The difference between a paint job that lasts two years and one that lasts ten years is usually in the preparation time. We take the time needed to prep correctly, which means fewer headaches and better value for your investment.
For Andover’s harsh climate, we use premium 100% acrylic latex paints with superior adhesion and flexibility. Brands like Sherwin-Williams Duration and Benjamin Moore Aura are specifically formulated for extreme weather conditions.
These paints expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking or peeling. They resist fading from UV exposure and hold up against moisture from snow, rain, and the humidity that causes so many paint failures in this region.
Paint quality matters, but proper surface preparation and application technique matter more. Even premium paint will fail if surfaces aren’t properly cleaned, primed, and prepared before application.
Yes, we specialize in Andover’s historic properties and understand the careful techniques they require. Many homes here date to the 18th and 19th centuries with original plaster, wood trim, and architectural details that need preservation during painting.
We know how to work with old plaster walls without damaging them, restore original window trim to its former beauty, and select period-appropriate paint colors that maintain historical authenticity. All lead paint safety protocols are followed when we work on pre-1978 homes.
Historic homes often require custom color matching and specialized surface preparation techniques. We take the time to research appropriate finishes because these properties are irreplaceable pieces of Andover’s architectural heritage.
Exterior painting typically ranges from $4,000-$9,000 for most Andover homes, while interior projects range from $2,500-$7,000, depending on size, condition, and complexity. Historic homes or properties requiring extensive prep work may cost more due to specialized techniques required.
Pricing factors include surface area, prep work needed, paint quality selected, and architectural complexity. Homes with detailed Victorian trim, multiple stories, or challenging access points require more time and specialized expertise.
We provide detailed written estimates that itemize labor, materials, and any additional services. You’ll know exactly what you’re investing in before work begins, with no surprise charges or hidden fees later in the project.
Late spring through early fall provides optimal conditions for exterior painting in Massachusetts. We typically schedule exterior projects from May through October when temperatures consistently stay above 50°F and humidity levels allow proper paint curing.
Summer months offer the most predictable weather windows, but spring and fall work well too with proper planning. We monitor weather forecasts closely and adjust schedules to ensure ideal painting conditions for maximum durability.
Interior painting can be scheduled year-round since we control the environment. Many Andover homeowners prefer interior projects during colder months when they’re spending more time indoors and want to refresh their living spaces.
