Your home stops being a constant worry. No more stressing about peeling paint, water damage, or that embarrassing curb appeal that makes you cringe every time you pull into the driveway.
Instead, you get a house that actually protects itself. Paint that holds up against Massachusetts winters, humid summers, and everything in between. Neighbors asking who did the work because it looks that good.
The kind of result that adds real value to your property and gives you one less thing to think about for the next decade or more.
We’ve been handling exterior painting projects in Hathorne and surrounding Massachusetts communities for over two decades. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t in this climate.
We know Hathorne homeowners expect quality work that matches their investment in their properties. That’s exactly what we deliver – no shortcuts, no surprises, no excuses.
Our team uses premium materials specifically chosen for New England weather conditions. Every project comes with our exclusive warranty because we stand behind our work completely.
First, we come to your property for a thorough assessment. We measure everything, identify any prep work needed, and discuss your goals and timeline. You get a detailed, itemized proposal so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Next comes the prep work – the foundation of any lasting paint job. We power wash, scrape, sand, and prime as needed. Any wood repairs get handled before we touch a brush to your siding.
Then we apply your chosen paint using proven techniques that ensure even coverage and maximum durability. We clean up completely each day and do a final walkthrough with you when everything’s finished.

Every exterior painting project includes thorough surface preparation, premium weather-resistant paint, and complete cleanup. We handle all types of exterior surfaces common in Hathorne – wood siding, vinyl, stucco, trim, and architectural details.
Hathorne’s mix of newer construction and established homes means we regularly work with everything from modern composite materials to traditional cedar shingles. Each surface gets the specific preparation and paint system it needs for maximum longevity.
Color consultation is included to help you choose shades that complement your home’s architecture and the neighborhood’s character. We bring samples to your property so you can see how colors look in your specific lighting conditions.
Quality exterior paint properly applied should last 7-10 years in Massachusetts, though harsh coastal conditions or extreme weather exposure might reduce that to 5-7 years. The key factors are surface preparation, paint quality, and application technique.
We use premium paints specifically formulated for New England’s freeze-thaw cycles and humidity changes. Cheaper paints might save money upfront but typically need replacement in 3-5 years, making them more expensive long-term.
Signs it’s time to repaint include chalking, fading, peeling, or cracking. Don’t wait until you see bare wood – that’s when real damage starts happening.
Late spring through early fall gives the best conditions for exterior painting in Massachusetts. We typically schedule most projects between May and October when temperatures stay consistently above 50°F and humidity levels are manageable.
Avoid painting during periods of high humidity, rain, or when temperatures drop below 40°F at night. Paint needs proper curing time, and cold or damp conditions can cause adhesion problems that show up later as peeling or bubbling.
We monitor weather forecasts carefully and won’t start if conditions aren’t right. It’s better to wait a few days than deal with paint failure down the road.
Yes, we identify and repair wood rot as part of our standard preparation process. Painting over rotted wood is like putting a band-aid on a broken bone – it looks okay temporarily but the problem gets worse underneath.
We remove damaged sections, treat the area to prevent future rot, and install new wood that matches your existing siding or trim. This repair work is included in our detailed estimates so there are no surprise charges.
Massachusetts humidity and weather patterns make wood rot common, especially around windows, doors, and areas where water can collect. Catching and fixing these issues during painting saves major headaches later.
We use premium acrylic latex paints from major manufacturers like Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams, specifically their lines designed for harsh weather conditions. These paints resist fading, cracking, and moisture penetration better than standard grades.
The exact paint depends on your surface material and exposure conditions. Wood siding gets different treatment than vinyl or stucco. We explain our recommendations and why we’re suggesting specific products for your situation.
All our paints come with manufacturer warranties, and we guarantee our application workmanship separately. This dual protection gives you coverage if anything goes wrong with either the product or our work.
We cover plants, outdoor furniture, and hardscaping with plastic sheeting before any prep work begins. Pressure washing and paint overspray can damage delicate plants or stain surfaces, so protection is essential.
Our crew moves portable items to safe areas and carefully masks anything that can’t be moved. We use high-quality masking materials that won’t leave residue or damage surfaces when removed.
At the end of each day, we remove drop cloths and coverings so your landscaping can breathe, then reinstall protection before starting work the next morning. Your property should look better when we’re done, not damaged.
Our exterior painting comes with a comprehensive warranty covering both materials and workmanship. Paint manufacturer defects are covered under their warranty terms, while our installation and preparation work carries our own guarantee.
This means if paint peels due to improper surface prep or application technique, we fix it at no charge. If there’s a manufacturing defect in the paint itself, we work with the manufacturer to resolve the issue.
The warranty length depends on the specific products used, but typically ranges from 3-7 years. We provide all warranty information in writing with your final invoice and keep detailed records of every project for easy reference.
