Interior & Exterior Painting FAQ

For exterior work, Massachusetts requires painters to be registered with the state. Interior-only painters are exempt from this requirement. However, any painter with employees must carry workers' compensation insurance by law. We're fully licensed, insured, and registered to work throughout Essex County, giving you complete peace of mind and legal protection.

Our estimates include all labor, premium paint, surface preparation, primer, two coats of finish paint, furniture protection, and complete cleanup. Unlike some contractors who add surprise charges later, we provide transparent pricing that covers everything needed to complete your project professionally. You'll know the total cost upfront with no hidden fees for prep work or cleanup.

Most interior rooms take 1-2 days including prep and drying time. Whole house interiors typically take 3-5 days, while exterior projects range from 3-7 days depending on size and weather. We provide realistic timelines during your estimate and stick to our schedule. Weather can affect exterior work, but we communicate any delays immediately and adjust accordingly.

We use premium brands like Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams because they offer superior coverage, durability, and weather resistance. In Massachusetts' harsh climate with humid summers and cold winters, quality paint is essential. Premium paints cost more upfront but last longer, saving you money over time by reducing the frequency of repainting your home.

Yes, we provide written warranties covering both labor and materials for covered defects. Our warranties are realistic and enforceable - typically 1-2 years depending on the project scope. Since most paint failures occur within the first year, this timeframe ensures any legitimate issues are addressed. We've been in business over 20 years under the same name, so you can count on us being here when you need us.
