Your home faces brutal Massachusetts winters, humid summers, and everything in between. Most exterior paint jobs fail because they skip the details that matter. We don’t.
You get paint that expands and contracts with your siding instead of cracking. Proper prep work that removes the mold and salt buildup that ruins other jobs. Premium materials designed specifically for New England’s climate challenges.
The result? A finish that protects your investment and keeps looking sharp year after year, not just for the first season.
We’ve been handling exterior painting projects across Massachusetts for over two decades. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t when it comes to protecting homes in this climate.
Our team understands Riverview Landing’s unique challenges – the coastal moisture, the temperature swings, the way salt air affects different siding materials. We’ve painted hundreds of homes in similar conditions, so we know exactly what your house needs.
Every project comes with our exclusive limited warranty because we stand behind our work. When you’ve been doing this as long as we have, you learn that cutting corners costs more in the long run.
We start with a comprehensive on-site assessment where we measure everything, check for moisture issues, and identify any prep work needed. No surprises later.
Next comes the detailed proposal – itemized so you know exactly what you’re getting. We walk through paint options, color choices, and timing that works with Massachusetts weather patterns.
The actual work begins with thorough surface preparation. Power washing, scraping, sanding, and priming where needed. We use moisture meters to make sure surfaces are ready before any paint goes on.
Finally, we apply premium exterior paints designed for your specific siding type and our climate. Multiple coats when needed, proper drying time between applications, and a final walkthrough to make sure everything meets our standards.

Every exterior painting project includes complete surface preparation, premium primer application, and top-quality finish coats. We handle siding, trim, doors, shutters, and any other exterior surfaces that need attention.
In Riverview Landing, we see a lot of cedar shingles and clapboard siding that require specific techniques to prevent moisture problems. We also deal with the salt air effects that are common in Massachusetts coastal areas.
Our process includes pressure washing to remove built-up salt, mold, and old paint that would compromise adhesion. We repair any wood rot or damage before painting because paint won’t stick properly over compromised surfaces.
Color consultation is included to help you choose options that complement your home’s architecture and the neighborhood character. We work with you to select finishes that provide maximum protection while achieving the look you want.
The ideal window for exterior painting in Massachusetts runs from late spring through early fall, typically May through September. We avoid the extremes – not when it’s too cold in early spring or late fall, and not during the hottest, most humid summer days.
The sweet spot is when temperatures stay consistently between 55-85 degrees with moderate humidity. We also need at least 24-48 hours of dry weather after application for proper curing.
We monitor weather forecasts closely and will reschedule rather than rush a job in poor conditions. It’s better to wait for the right window than to compromise the quality of your paint job.
Most residential exterior painting projects take 3-7 days depending on the size of your home, amount of prep work needed, and weather conditions. A typical single-family home usually takes 4-5 days from start to finish.
The timeline breaks down roughly like this: 1-2 days for prep work (pressure washing, scraping, priming), 2-3 days for paint application, and additional time if we encounter issues like wood rot that needs repair.
Weather can extend timelines since we won’t paint in rain, extreme heat, or high humidity. We’d rather take extra time to do the job right than rush through and compromise the results.
High-quality acrylic latex paints perform best in Massachusetts coastal areas because they’re designed to expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking. They’re also more resistant to salt air and moisture than oil-based alternatives.
We typically recommend paints with mildew-resistant additives, especially for areas that don’t get full sun exposure. The salt air and humidity in coastal Massachusetts create perfect conditions for mold growth if you don’t use the right products.
Premium paints cost more upfront but last significantly longer in our climate. Cheaper paints often fail within 2-3 years, while quality products can protect your home for 7-10 years with proper application.
Exterior painting costs vary based on your home’s size, condition, and the amount of prep work required. Most single-family homes in Riverview Landing range from $8,000-$15,000 for a complete exterior paint job.
Factors that affect pricing include the type of siding, how much scraping and repair work is needed, paint quality selection, and accessibility issues. Homes with extensive trim work or multiple stories typically cost more due to the additional labor involved.
We provide detailed, itemized estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No hidden fees or surprise charges – just straightforward pricing for quality work.
Yes, we handle wood rot repair as part of our exterior painting service. Painting over rotted wood is a waste of money because the paint won’t adhere properly and the underlying problem will continue to spread.
We inspect all exterior surfaces during our initial assessment and identify any areas that need repair. Common problem spots include window sills, door frames, and areas where water tends to collect.
Our repair process involves removing the damaged wood, treating the area to prevent future rot, and replacing with matching materials. This ensures your new paint job has a solid foundation and will last for years.
We provide an exclusive limited warranty on all exterior painting work. The specific terms depend on the scope of your project, but we typically warranty our workmanship for 2-3 years and paint performance based on manufacturer specifications.
Our warranty covers issues like premature peeling, cracking, or color fading that result from application problems or material defects. Normal wear from weather exposure isn’t covered, but properly applied paint should withstand Massachusetts weather for many years.
We stand behind our work because we use quality materials and proper application techniques. If there’s a problem with our workmanship, we’ll come back and make it right at no charge to you.
