No more watching paint peel off in sheets after two years. No more worrying about moisture damage creeping behind failed coatings. Just solid protection that keeps your home looking sharp and structurally sound.
Quality residential exterior painting means your siding, trim, and surfaces stay protected from Massachusetts weather extremes. You get the peace of mind that comes with knowing your home’s exterior won’t be the neighborhood eyesore in three years.
The right exterior paint job increases property value while eliminating the stress of constant touch-ups and premature repainting. Your home looks maintained, protected, and worth what you’ve invested in it.
We’ve spent over twenty years figuring out why most exterior painting fails in New England—and how to prevent it. We’re not the crew that shows up, rolls on some paint, and hopes for the best.
Every team member is background-checked and trained in the surface preparation and application methods that separate five-year paint jobs from twenty-year paint jobs. We use premium materials chosen specifically for Massachusetts freeze-thaw cycles and coastal moisture.
Upper Green homeowners understand that exterior painting is really about protection first, appearance second. That’s why we focus on the unglamorous details—proper moisture testing, thorough surface prep, and weather-appropriate application—that determine whether your investment pays off.
We start with a complete exterior assessment, checking moisture levels, identifying surface damage, and spotting potential failure points before any paint gets opened. This prevents problems instead of painting over them.
Surface preparation comes next—power washing, scraping loose paint, sanding rough areas, and replacing any damaged wood or siding. This step determines whether you’re repainting in three years or fifteen years.
Then we apply primer where needed and two coats of premium exterior paint, but only when weather conditions are optimal. We don’t paint when humidity, temperature, or forecast threaten the durability of your investment.

Massachusetts weather demands specific paint formulations and application techniques. We use products engineered for extreme temperature swings, high humidity, and UV exposure that would destroy standard paint jobs within a few seasons.
The reliable exterior painting season in Massachusetts runs from late April through mid-October, when temperatures consistently stay between 50-85°F and humidity levels allow proper paint curing.
Spring can be challenging due to moisture from snow melt and frequent rain, so we typically recommend late spring through early fall for the most dependable conditions. We monitor detailed weather forecasts and won’t start your project without at least 48 hours of suitable conditions predicted.
New England temperature swings require paints formulated to cure properly even when nighttime temperatures drop significantly. The key is avoiding application when rain, excessive humidity, or temperature extremes could compromise adhesion and long-term durability.
Premium exterior paint with proper preparation typically lasts 10-15 years in Massachusetts, compared to 5-7 years for standard paint jobs. The difference comes down to surface prep quality and paint selection.
Homes with southern or western exposure face more UV damage and may need attention sooner, while protected areas often exceed expectations. Wood siding generally requires more frequent maintenance than vinyl or fiber cement, but proper preparation extends all surface lifespans significantly.
Our preparation methods and climate-specific paint selection deliver measurably longer-lasting results. We focus on moisture barriers, comprehensive priming, and using paints specifically engineered for New England’s freeze-thaw cycles and coastal humidity variations.
We paint all exterior surfaces including wood and composite decking, fences, garage doors, exterior trim, shutters, and outdoor structures like sheds, gazebos, or pool houses.
Each surface requires specific preparation and product selection. Decks need stains or paints that handle foot traffic and constant moisture exposure, while metal surfaces require rust-inhibiting primers and specialized topcoats for lasting protection.
Upper Green’s historic homes often feature unique architectural details—decorative trim, columns, and specialty millwork—that need careful attention to preserve character while providing maximum weather protection.
Comprehensive surface preparation is included in every exterior painting project. This covers power washing, scraping all loose paint, sanding rough areas, caulking gaps, and filling nail holes or minor surface damage.
We also handle common repair needs like replacing rotted wood sections, securing loose siding boards, and addressing minor carpentry issues that could compromise paint adhesion. These repairs are essential—you can’t paint over problems and expect lasting results.
If we discover significant structural issues during our initial assessment, we’ll discuss options before proceeding. Most exterior painting projects only need minor repairs, but addressing problems before painting prevents premature failure and protects your investment.
Color selection for historic Upper Green homes requires understanding architectural periods, local preservation guidelines, and practical considerations like how colors weather in Massachusetts climate.
We provide complimentary color consultation to help you choose period-appropriate shades that enhance your home’s character while meeting any historic district requirements. Many areas have specific palette guidelines, and we’re familiar with these regulations.
We also consider how colors will look in different seasonal lighting, how they’ll weather over time, and how they complement your neighborhood’s overall character. Testing samples on your actual siding ensures you’re completely satisfied with the final result.
Two decades of New England experience has taught us that surface preparation—not paint application—determines whether exterior paint jobs last or fail. Most contractors rush the prep work because it’s time-consuming and unglamorous.
We use moisture meters to ensure surfaces are properly dry before painting, select paints specifically formulated for Massachusetts weather extremes, and refuse to compromise quality for speed. Every crew member is background-checked and trained in methods that deliver decade-plus results.
Our detailed estimates include all prep work, materials, and labor with no hidden costs. We provide written warranty coverage because we’re confident in our methods, and we don’t require payment until your project is completed to your satisfaction.
