You’re not just getting a paint job—you’re getting protection that stands up to Massachusetts winters, coastal salt air, and everything in between. Our exterior painting creates a barrier that prevents wood rot, moisture damage, and the costly repairs that come with neglect.
Your home’s value increases immediately. Curb appeal that actually turns heads. And peace of mind knowing your biggest investment is properly protected for years to come.
The difference shows in how your paint looks after the first harsh winter—still vibrant, still intact, still doing its job.
We’ve been painting exteriors in this area since before you had to worry about lead-safe certifications and low-VOC requirements. That experience matters when you’re dealing with New England’s unpredictable weather and the unique challenges of Massachusetts coastal conditions.
We’re not the painters who show up in January promising to paint your house in 30-degree weather. We understand timing, proper surface preparation, and what it takes to make exterior paint last in this climate.
Every project starts with understanding your home’s specific needs—from moisture issues to surface preparation to choosing materials that can handle Pleasant Hills’ weather patterns.
We start with a thorough assessment of your home’s exterior surfaces, checking for moisture issues, surface damage, and any prep work needed before we even talk about paint. This isn’t a quick walk-around—we’re looking for problems that could compromise your paint job later.
Surface preparation comes next. Proper cleaning, scraping, sanding, and priming where needed. We handle any minor repairs during this phase because paint won’t fix underlying issues.
Then we time the actual painting around weather conditions. We’re watching forecasts, checking humidity levels, and making sure temperatures stay within the proper range not just during application, but for the full curing period afterward.

Complete surface preparation including power washing, scraping, sanding, and spot priming. All necessary repairs to siding, trim, and exterior surfaces before painting begins. We’re not painting over problems—we’re fixing them first.
Premium exterior paints specifically chosen for New England conditions. These aren’t the basic contractor-grade materials. We use paints that resist fading, chalking, and moisture penetration because Pleasant Hills homes need protection that lasts.
Lead-safe work practices for homes built before 1978. Full licensing and insurance coverage. Clean-up that leaves your property looking better than when we arrived. And our warranty backing the work because we stand behind what we do.
The optimal exterior painting season in Pleasant Hills typically runs from late April through early October, depending on weather conditions. We need consistent temperatures above 50°F during the day and above 35°F at night for proper paint curing.
Spring can be tricky with frequent rain and high moisture levels, so we often recommend late spring through early fall when conditions are more stable. We never rush a job just to meet a deadline—proper weather conditions are essential for paint that will last through New England winters.
We monitor weather forecasts closely and will reschedule if conditions aren’t right. It’s better to wait for proper conditions than deal with paint failure later.
Moisture is the biggest enemy of exterior paint in Massachusetts, so we take it seriously. We start every project by checking moisture levels in wood surfaces using professional moisture meters—anything above 12-15% is too wet to paint.
If we find chronic moisture problems, we’ll identify the source and recommend repairs before painting. Sometimes this means fixing gutters, improving drainage, or replacing damaged siding sections. Paint won’t solve moisture problems, it will only hide them temporarily.
We also ensure surfaces have been dry for at least 48 hours before painting, and we factor humidity levels into our scheduling. Proper surface preparation and timing prevent the peeling, bubbling, and premature failure that comes from painting over moisture.
We use premium 100% acrylic latex paints specifically formulated for New England’s harsh climate conditions. These paints offer superior adhesion, flexibility, and resistance to moisture, UV rays, and temperature fluctuations that are common in Pleasant Hills.
For coastal areas dealing with salt air, we select paints with enhanced corrosion resistance. We also use low-temperature formulations when needed to extend the painting season safely into cooler months.
The specific paint choice depends on your home’s siding material, exposure, and existing conditions. We’ll explain our recommendations and why certain products work better for your specific situation during our initial consultation.
Yes, we’re EPA-certified for lead-safe work practices, which is required by law for any home built before 1978. This certification ensures we follow proper containment, removal, and cleanup procedures to protect your family and our crew from lead exposure.
Lead-safe work involves specific preparation methods, containment barriers, and cleanup procedures that go beyond standard painting prep. We’re trained in these methods and carry the proper certifications and insurance for this type of work.
We’ll test for lead paint presence during our initial assessment and explain any additional steps needed. The safety protocols add some time and cost to the project, but they’re legally required and absolutely essential for everyone’s protection.
With proper preparation and quality materials, you should expect 7-12 years from a professional exterior paint job in Pleasant Hills, depending on exposure and maintenance. South-facing and weather-exposed sides may need attention sooner than protected areas.
The key factors in longevity are surface preparation, paint quality, application conditions, and ongoing maintenance. We don’t cut corners on prep work because it’s the foundation of a long-lasting paint job.
We provide care instructions and will point out areas that might need touch-ups sooner due to exposure or wear patterns. Regular maintenance like cleaning and minor touch-ups can significantly extend the life of your exterior paint.
Our exterior painting warranty covers material and workmanship defects for a specified period that we’ll detail in your contract. This includes issues like premature peeling, excessive fading, or adhesion failures that result from our work or materials.
The warranty doesn’t cover damage from severe weather events, normal wear and tear, or issues caused by building movement or moisture problems that weren’t addressed before painting. We’ll clearly explain what’s covered during our consultation.
If warranty issues arise, we’ll return to assess the problem and make necessary repairs at no charge. We stand behind our work because we use quality materials and proper techniques—warranty claims are rare when the job is done right from the start.
