Your home isn’t just another paint job to us. It’s a significant investment that deserves protection from the elements that matter most here in Massachusetts.
New England weather doesn’t mess around. Hot summers fade and degrade your siding while cold, wet winters beat it down even harder. Without proper exterior painting every 5-7 years, you’re looking at wood that grays, rots, and eventually costs thousands more to replace.
That’s where proper preparation and premium materials make the difference. We’re talking about scraping and sanding every loose surface, priming all bare wood with 100% acrylic latex primer, and using paint brands like Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams that actually hold up to what Massachusetts throws at them.
We’ve been protecting homes in New Hampshire and Massachusetts for over two decades. We understand what works here and what doesn’t.
We’ve seen what happens when contractors cut corners on prep work or use cheap materials. We’ve also seen how proper exterior painting can extend the life of your siding by years, even decades, when done right.
Middleton Colony homeowners trust us because we take the time to do extensive walk-throughs during our bid process. We identify failing areas that need attention and provide detailed estimates for any trim or woodwork repairs. No surprises, no shortcuts.
First, we do a comprehensive assessment of your home’s exterior. We’re looking for failing areas, checking what type of surface we’re working with, and determining exactly what prep work is needed.
Next comes the preparation that most contractors skip. We scrape and sand all loose or scaling paint as thoroughly as necessary. Any bare wood gets primed with 100% acrylic latex primer. We handle trim and woodwork repairs with experienced crews who know what they’re doing.
Then we apply premium paints from Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams, or California Paints. These aren’t just pretty colors – they’re formulated to expand and contract with your siding through temperature changes, resist moisture penetration, and hold up to UV damage.

For Middleton Colony homes specifically, we understand the challenges of your area’s mix of historic and newer construction. Many homes here were built in the 1980s and are approaching that critical 40-year mark where exterior maintenance becomes essential. We’ve worked on everything from colonial-era properties to modern siding, and we adjust our approach accordingly.
Most homes in Massachusetts need exterior painting every 5-7 years, but it depends on several factors. Wood siding typically needs attention every 3-7 years, while other materials can go longer.
New England’s climate is particularly hard on exterior surfaces. Hot summers cause UV damage and fading, while cold, wet winters create moisture problems. If you’re seeing chalking, peeling, or bare wood showing through, it’s time to repaint regardless of how long it’s been.
The key is not waiting until you have major problems. Proper maintenance painting costs much less than dealing with rotted wood or extensive repairs later.
For most wood siding in Massachusetts, the choice depends on your current surface and goals. If your siding is already painted, stick with paint. If it’s bare wood or previously stained, you have options.
Stain allows wood to breathe better and expands and contracts more naturally with temperature changes. This makes it particularly good for our climate. Semi-transparent stains show the wood grain while solid stains provide more color coverage and protection.
Paint creates a thicker barrier and comes in more color options, but it’s more prone to peeling if moisture gets behind it. For most homeowners who want solid color coverage and maximum protection, high-quality exterior paint is the way to go.
The biggest difference is in preparation and materials. Cheap painters skip the scraping, sanding, and priming that actually make paint last. They use builder-grade paint that looks fine initially but fails within 2-3 years.
Professional work means scraping all loose paint, sanding surfaces smooth, and priming any bare wood with proper primer. We use premium paints from Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams, or California Paints that are formulated to handle temperature swings and moisture.
The result is a paint job that lasts 7-10 years instead of 2-3, looks better throughout its life, and actually protects your siding from weather damage. When you factor in the longevity, professional work costs less per year than cheap painting.
We identify needed repairs during our initial assessment and include them in our detailed proposal. Common issues include rotted trim boards, loose siding, and failed caulking around windows and doors.
Our crews handle wood replacement, trim repairs, and carpentry work as part of the painting process. We don’t just paint over problems – we fix them first. This includes replacing any rotted wood because you should never paint over wood rot.
All repair work is done by experienced professionals using quality materials. We also provide estimates upfront so there are no surprise costs during the project.
We handle all exterior surfaces on your home. This includes wood, vinyl, aluminum, and fiber cement siding. We also paint trim, shutters, doors, garage doors, and deck railings.
For specialty surfaces like stucco, we adjust our preparation and primer selection accordingly. Metal surfaces get appropriate primers to prevent rust. Each material has specific requirements for proper adhesion and longevity.
We also provide deck staining, fence painting, and exterior wood restoration services. If it’s on the outside of your home and needs protection from the weather, we can handle it properly.
Weather is critical for exterior painting success. We don’t paint when temperatures are below 35°F or above 100°F, when humidity is too high, or when rain is expected within 24 hours.
Spring and fall are typically the best seasons for exterior painting in Massachusetts. Summer can work but we avoid the hottest days and direct sunlight when possible. We monitor weather forecasts closely and adjust schedules to ensure optimal conditions.
If weather disrupts your project, we’ll reschedule rather than risk poor results. Proper curing time is essential for paint adhesion and longevity, so we never rush the process due to weather pressure.
