Your home stops looking tired and starts looking proud. No more embarrassing peeling sections or faded colors that scream “neglect” to the neighborhood. Instead, you get crisp lines, rich color, and protection that holds up against everything Beverly’s weather throws at it.
The right exterior paint job does more than look good—it acts as armor. Salt air from Beverly Harbor tries to corrode your siding. UV rays attempt to crack and fade inferior work. Freeze-thaw cycles work to destroy poorly prepped surfaces. Quality exterior painting stops all of it.
You’ll wake up to curb appeal that makes you proud to pull into your driveway. Your neighbors notice the difference. Potential buyers see the value. Most importantly, you see the difference between a paint job that’s just slapped on and one that’s engineered to protect your investment for years.
We understand what Beverly homeowners face because we’ve been solving these problems for years. We’ve worked on everything from historic Colonials in the Fish Flake Hill district to waterfront properties along Lynch Park. Each presents unique challenges that most painters simply don’t understand.
Beverly’s coastal location means your home battles salt air, moisture, and temperature swings daily. We use marine-grade materials and proven techniques that account for these conditions. Our team carries EPA certification for lead paint safety—crucial for Beverly’s many pre-1978 homes.
We’re not the painters who show up, slap on some paint, and disappear when problems arise. We’re the ones who take time to prep surfaces properly, use quality materials matched to your home’s specific needs, and stand behind our work with warranties that actually mean something.
We start with a thorough inspection of your home’s exterior, identifying problem areas, surface conditions, and any special requirements your property demands. Historic homes get extra attention for lead paint safety and period-appropriate color matching that respects architectural integrity.
Surface preparation comes next—and it’s where most painting companies cut corners to save time and money. We power wash to remove dirt and mildew. We scrape loose paint down to sound surfaces. We sand rough areas smooth and fill every gap and hole properly. Then we apply the right primer for your specific surface conditions.
The actual painting uses premium materials selected specifically for Beverly’s coastal environment. We apply thin, even coats that build proper film thickness without runs, drips, or brush marks. Each day ends with thorough cleanup because your property deserves respect. We don’t consider any job complete until you’re completely satisfied with every single detail.

Your residential exterior painting project includes comprehensive surface preparation, premium paint application, and protection designed specifically for Beverly’s unique coastal challenges. We handle everything from basic siding refresh to complex historic home restoration that requires specialized knowledge and techniques.
Beverly’s historic homes demand expertise that goes beyond basic painting. Federal-style homes need understated elegance with proper contrast ratios that highlight architectural details without overwhelming them. Victorian properties can handle bolder color combinations that showcase ornate trim work. Colonial Revivals work best with crisp, restrained palettes that emphasize clean symmetry.
Coastal properties get marine-grade primers and paints engineered to resist salt air corrosion and intense UV damage. We adjust material selection and application techniques based on your home’s specific exposure to ocean conditions. Properties near Lynch Park or Dane Street Beach require different protection strategies than inland homes, and we account for these critical differences in every project we complete.
Most Beverly homes need exterior painting every 5-10 years, but coastal exposure and surface materials significantly affect this timeline. Wood siding typically requires repainting every 3-7 years due to constant moisture exposure and dramatic temperature changes that cause expansion and contraction.
Salt air accelerates paint deterioration dramatically, especially on south and east-facing surfaces that receive direct ocean exposure throughout the day. Homes within a mile of Beverly Harbor often need attention more frequently than inland properties. We inspect for early warning signs like chalking, fading, or hairline cracks that indicate it’s time to repaint before serious damage occurs.
The key is catching problems early before they become expensive. Waiting until paint is actively peeling or wood substrate is showing means significantly more expensive preparation work and potential structural repairs that could have been avoided with proper timing.
Historic homes in Beverly require specialized techniques that respect architectural integrity while providing modern protection that actually works. Many properties built before 1978 contain lead paint, requiring EPA-certified removal protocols and proper safety containment that protects your family and workers.
Period-appropriate color selection matters tremendously for maintaining historical accuracy and neighborhood character that preserves property values. Federal-style homes work best with sophisticated, understated palettes that emphasize elegant proportions. Victorian properties can handle more elaborate color schemes that highlight ornate architectural details without looking garish.
Surface preparation on historic homes demands extra care because aged materials are more delicate and can be easily damaged by aggressive techniques. We use gentler methods to avoid harming original features while ensuring proper paint adhesion for long-lasting results that protect your investment.
Beverly’s location directly on Massachusetts Bay creates unique challenges that require specialized materials and proven techniques most painters don’t understand. Salt air causes accelerated corrosion and premature paint failure, especially on metal components and highly exposed surfaces that face the ocean.
We use marine-grade primers and exterior paints specifically formulated for coastal environments like Beverly’s. These materials contain specialized additives that resist salt corrosion, intense UV damage, and moisture penetration that destroys ordinary paint systems. Application timing becomes crucial—we avoid painting during high humidity periods or when salt spray is heavy from storm systems.
Surface preparation includes extra steps to remove accumulated salt buildup and ensure proper adhesion that won’t fail prematurely. We also recommend customized maintenance schedules tailored to your specific coastal exposure level, with properties closer to the water requiring more frequent professional inspection and targeted touch-ups.
Proper preparation accounts for approximately 60% of exterior painting labor time and makes the critical difference between a paint job that fails in three years versus one that protects your home for a full decade. We start with thorough power washing to remove accumulated dirt, mildew, and any loose paint that would cause adhesion problems.
Next comes detailed hand scraping and careful sanding to create smooth, sound surfaces that paint can properly bond to. All gaps, holes, and cracks get filled with appropriate materials—high-quality wood filler for siding defects, premium exterior caulk for trim joints and seams. Any bare wood receives proper primer application before topcoat paint goes on.
We protect your landscaping, windows, and walkways with professional-grade drop cloths and precision masking tape. Lead paint gets handled according to strict EPA RRP requirements with proper containment and certified disposal. The goal is creating the perfect foundation for paint that will perform exactly as it should for years to come.
Paint selection depends entirely on your home’s specific exposure conditions, surface materials, and architectural style requirements. Beverly’s coastal environment demands high-performance acrylic paints that actively resist salt air, intense UV rays, and dramatic temperature fluctuations that destroy inferior paint systems.
For wood siding applications, we typically recommend premium 100% acrylic latex paints with superior adhesion properties and flexibility that moves with your home’s natural expansion and contraction. Coastal properties receive marine-grade formulations with enhanced corrosion resistance additives. Historic homes may require specialty paints that allow proper vapor transmission while providing adequate long-term protection.
Color selection balances personal preference with architectural appropriateness and any local guidelines. We help homeowners choose exterior paint colors that enhance their home’s natural style while meeting historic district requirements where applicable. The goal is achieving lasting beauty that respects your home’s unique character and protects your investment.
We provide comprehensive warranties covering both premium materials and professional workmanship because we stand completely behind every project we complete. Our warranty terms vary based on paint quality levels and existing surface conditions, but typically range from 3-7 years for materials and 2-5 years for labor coverage.
Our warranty covers premature paint failure, unexpected peeling, excessive fading beyond normal limits, and any application defects that result from our work. Normal wear from extreme weather events or accidental physical damage isn’t covered, but we’ll inspect any concerns promptly and provide honest professional assessments of what needs attention.
We maintain detailed project records documenting all materials used, surface conditions, and application weather for each job we complete. This documentation helps us honor warranty claims quickly and efficiently, ensuring you receive exactly the protection you paid for. Quality exterior painting work shouldn’t need warranty service, but when issues arise, we make them right immediately.
