Your exterior paint job becomes an investment that pays back. You get protection from harsh Massachusetts weather that keeps moisture out and prevents costly repairs down the road. Your home’s curb appeal jumps immediately—and stays that way for years longer than typical paint jobs.
The difference shows in how neighbors notice, how your property value holds, and how you feel pulling into your driveway. We use premium materials that resist fading, cracking, and peeling, so you’re not dealing with touch-ups or full repaints every few years.
You also get peace of mind knowing the job was done right the first time, with proper surface preparation and application techniques that most contractors skip to save time.
Fine Coat Painters has been transforming homes across West Newbury and the Merrimack Valley for over 20 years. We understand what it takes to protect and enhance homes in this area—from dealing with New England’s harsh winters to matching the quality expectations of one of Massachusetts’ most affluent communities.
Our team consists of experienced, background-checked professionals who treat your property with the respect it deserves. We’ve built our reputation on delivering results that last, using only premium materials and proven techniques.
West Newbury homeowners choose us because we understand that your home is likely your largest investment. With median home values approaching $930,000 in the area, you need contractors who appreciate the stakes and deliver accordingly.
We start with a comprehensive on-site assessment where we examine your home’s current condition, take detailed measurements, and discuss your goals and preferences. This isn’t a quick walk-around—we identify any prep work needed and explain exactly what’s involved.
Next comes the detailed proposal. You get an itemized breakdown of everything we’ll do, from surface preparation to final cleanup, with the flexibility to choose which areas you want painted. No surprises, no hidden costs.
The actual work begins with thorough preparation—power washing, scraping, sanding, and priming as needed. This is where most contractors cut corners, but it’s also what separates a paint job that lasts two years from one that lasts ten. We then apply premium paint in proper conditions, ensuring each coat adheres correctly and provides maximum protection and beauty.

Our exterior painting services cover every surface of your West Newbury home. We paint siding, trim, shutters, garage doors, decks, and fences using materials specifically chosen for New England’s climate challenges.
In West Newbury’s coastal-influenced weather patterns, your exterior faces salt air, temperature swings, and UV exposure that can quickly degrade inferior paint jobs. We counter this with premium paint systems from trusted manufacturers, applied with techniques developed over two decades of local experience.
You also get our exclusive Limited Warranty backing the work. This means if something goes wrong due to our workmanship or materials, we make it right at no cost to you. It’s protection you won’t find with every contractor, and it reflects our confidence in the quality we deliver.
Quality exterior paint should last 7-10 years in West Newbury when properly applied, though this depends on several factors. The coastal influence means your home faces salt air, humidity, and temperature fluctuations that can accelerate paint deterioration if you use inferior materials or poor application techniques.
We use premium paint systems specifically formulated for New England conditions, combined with thorough surface preparation that ensures maximum adhesion. This approach typically extends paint life by 2-3 years compared to standard jobs.
The key is proper prep work and using paint designed for your home’s specific siding material and exposure conditions. South-facing walls get more UV damage, while north sides deal with moisture retention—we adjust our approach accordingly.
Our prep work starts with power washing to remove dirt, mildew, and loose paint, followed by hand scraping of any remaining loose or peeling areas. We then sand rough spots smooth and fill any gaps or holes with appropriate exterior-grade fillers.
Next comes priming—but only where needed. Bare wood gets a high-quality primer, while previously painted surfaces in good condition might only need spot priming. We also caulk gaps around trim, windows, and doors to prevent moisture intrusion.
This process typically takes 1-2 days depending on your home’s condition, but it’s what separates a paint job that fails in two years from one that protects your investment for a decade. Most contractors rush this phase to save money, which is why many exterior paint jobs fail prematurely.
Weather is always a factor in exterior painting, especially in Massachusetts. We don’t paint in temperatures below 50°F or above 90°F, during rain, or when humidity exceeds 85%. These aren’t arbitrary rules—they’re what ensure proper paint adhesion and curing.
We monitor weather forecasts closely and plan projects around predicted conditions. If unexpected weather disrupts work, we protect any exposed areas and resume as soon as conditions are suitable. Our scheduling builds in buffer time for typical weather delays.
The key is patience. Paint applied in poor conditions will fail prematurely, costing you far more than a few extra days of scheduling. We’d rather deliver results that last than rush a job that disappoints you later.
We use premium paint systems from manufacturers like Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, and other top-tier brands, specifically selecting products based on your home’s siding material, exposure conditions, and your aesthetic preferences.
For most West Newbury homes, we recommend 100% acrylic latex paints with advanced weather resistance and color retention properties. These handle New England’s temperature swings and UV exposure better than cheaper alternatives, and they maintain their appearance longer.
We also offer specialty products for unique situations—low-VOC options for environmentally conscious homeowners, or specific formulations for cedar, composite, or masonry surfaces. The goal is matching the right product to your specific needs, not using whatever’s cheapest or easiest.
Yes, color consultation is included with every exterior painting project. Choosing exterior colors is more complex than interior selections because you’re dealing with larger surfaces, neighborhood aesthetics, and how colors appear in different lighting conditions throughout the day.
We help you select colors that complement your home’s architecture, landscape, and the character of West Newbury’s established neighborhoods. We also consider practical factors like heat absorption, fade resistance, and how colors will age over time.
Our process includes providing sample patches on different areas of your home so you can see how colors look in morning, afternoon, and evening light. This prevents costly mistakes and ensures you’re completely satisfied with the final result.
Every exterior painting project includes our exclusive Limited Warranty covering both materials and workmanship. This means if paint fails due to our application methods or defective materials, we return to correct the problem at no charge to you.
The warranty period varies based on the specific products used and surface conditions, but typically covers 3-5 years for workmanship issues and follows the manufacturer’s warranty for material defects. We also guarantee color matching if touch-ups are needed during the warranty period.
This protection reflects our confidence in the quality we deliver and gives you peace of mind knowing your investment is protected. Not every contractor offers this level of warranty backing, because not every contractor is confident their work will stand the test of time.
