Our team knows how Massachusetts weather affects different siding materials. We understand which paint products work best in this climate, and we prepare every surface properly so your investment lasts.
First, we inspect your home’s exterior surfaces thoroughly. We identify any areas that need repair, note problem spots, and determine the best approach for your specific siding type.
Next comes surface preparation – the most critical step most contractors rush through. We clean, scrape, sand, and prime every surface properly. This prep work determines how long your paint job will last.
Finally, we apply premium exterior paint using proven techniques. We protect your landscaping, clean up daily, and don’t consider the job complete until you’re completely satisfied with the results.

Your exterior painting project includes comprehensive surface preparation, premium paint application, and thorough cleanup. We handle everything from initial inspection to final walkthrough.
West Andover homes face unique challenges. The town’s mature trees create shade and moisture issues. Historic properties require special attention to architectural details. Modern homes need paint systems that complement contemporary design while providing maximum protection.
We work with leading paint manufacturers to select products specifically designed for Massachusetts climate conditions. Our color consultation helps you choose shades that enhance your home’s architectural style while fitting naturally into your West Andover neighborhood.
Quality exterior painting typically lasts 7-10 years in Massachusetts, depending on your home’s exposure and the paint system used. Homes with southern exposure or minimal tree coverage may need repainting sooner due to UV damage.
The key is proper surface preparation and using paint specifically formulated for New England weather. We use premium exterior paints that resist fading, chalking, and moisture penetration. With proper prep work, many of our West Andover projects look great well beyond the 10-year mark.
Factors like siding material also matter. Wood siding may need attention every 5-7 years, while fiber cement can go longer between paint jobs.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for exterior painting in Massachusetts. We typically schedule projects from May through October when temperatures stay consistently above 50 degrees and humidity levels are manageable.
Summer months are ideal, but we can work successfully in shoulder seasons too. The key is avoiding periods of high humidity, rain, or temperature extremes. We monitor weather forecasts carefully and won’t apply paint when conditions aren’t right.
Early fall can actually be perfect for exterior painting. Temperatures are moderate, humidity drops, and there’s less chance of sudden weather changes that could affect the curing process.
We take extensive precautions to protect your landscaping, which is especially important in West Andover where mature plantings add significant value to properties. Before any work begins, we cover shrubs, flowers, and garden beds with protective sheeting.
Our team uses drop cloths and plastic barriers to prevent paint drips or overspray from reaching your plants. We’re particularly careful around established foundation plantings and specimen trees that define many West Andover properties.
For larger shrubs or delicate plants, we may temporarily relocate containers or use specialized protective equipment. At the end of each day, we remove coverings so plants can breathe and receive necessary sunlight.
Yes, we address wood repair as part of our exterior painting process. Massachusetts weather is tough on exterior wood, and painting over damaged areas never works long-term.
We inspect all exterior wood surfaces carefully, looking for rot, loose boards, failed caulking, and other issues. Minor repairs like replacing trim pieces or fixing small sections of siding are typically included in our painting estimates.
For more extensive carpentry work, we provide separate estimates so you know exactly what’s needed. We work with trusted local carpenters when major structural repairs are required, ensuring everything is properly addressed before painting begins.
We typically recommend Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, or similar premium brands that offer paint systems specifically designed for New England climate conditions. These manufacturers have products that resist moisture penetration, temperature fluctuations, and UV damage.
The specific product depends on your siding material and exposure conditions. For wood siding, we might recommend an oil-based primer with acrylic topcoat. Fiber cement siding works well with 100% acrylic systems that flex with temperature changes.
Color choice matters too. Lighter colors reflect heat and last longer in sunny exposures, while darker colors can work well in shaded areas. We help you select both the right product and color for your specific West Andover location.
Historic homes in West Andover require special attention to architectural details and often have unique surface conditions. We take extra time to properly prepare older surfaces, which may include multiple layers of previous paint.
Lead paint is a consideration in homes built before 1978. We’re EPA-certified for lead-safe work practices and follow all required procedures when working on older properties. This includes proper containment, specialized equipment, and safe disposal of materials.
We also understand the importance of maintaining historic character. Our color consultations help you choose appropriate shades that honor your home’s architectural period while providing modern protection. Many historic paint colors are available in today’s high-performance formulations.
