When we finish your project, you get more than fresh paint. You get protection that lasts through harsh Massachusetts winters and humid summers.
Your home’s exterior becomes a shield against weather damage, preventing costly repairs down the road. Inside, your rooms transform into spaces you actually want to spend time in—not just rooms that look painted.
Most homeowners tell us they wish they’d called us sooner. The difference between professional work and DIY shows up in how the paint looks after two years, not two weeks.
We’ve been painting homes throughout Andover and the surrounding North Shore for years. We understand the unique challenges of this area—from colonial-era woodwork that needs special attention to modern homes that demand precision.
With Andover home values averaging $926,250, you need contractors who respect what’s at stake. We treat every project like it’s our own home.
Our team knows which paints hold up best against the salt air from the coast and which primers work on the older homes that make Andover special.
We start with a thorough assessment of your surfaces—checking for damage, determining the right prep work, and explaining exactly what needs to be done.
Preparation takes up most of our time because it makes all the difference. We sand, scrape, prime, and repair before we even open a paint can. Your furniture and landscaping get protected with professional-grade materials.
When we paint, we use techniques that ensure even coverage and clean lines. We clean up completely each day and do a final walkthrough with you before we consider the job finished.

We handle everything from single-room refreshes to whole-house transformations. Interior work includes walls, ceilings, trim, and specialty finishes that complement Andover’s mix of traditional and contemporary homes.
Massachusetts homeowners are increasingly focused on sustainable materials and environmentally friendly practices, so we offer low-VOC and eco-friendly paint options that perform just as well as traditional formulas.
For exterior projects, we understand that Andover’s historic districts have specific requirements, and we work within those guidelines while delivering modern performance and protection.
Quality exterior paint should last 7-10 years in our Massachusetts climate when properly applied. The key factors are thorough surface preparation, using premium paints designed for New England weather, and applying the right number of coats.
We see the biggest problems with paint jobs that skip proper prep work or use cheap materials. With approximately 1.43 million housing units authorized by building permits in 2023, there’s a lot of painting happening, but not all of it is done right.
Our approach focuses on preparation and premium materials because replacing paint every 3-4 years costs more than doing it right the first time.
Late spring through early fall gives us the most consistent conditions, but we work year-round when weather permits. The key is avoiding days with high humidity, temperatures below 50°F, or when rain is expected within 24 hours.
Interior painting can happen any time since we control the environment. For exterior work, we watch the forecast carefully and plan accordingly. We’d rather reschedule than compromise the quality of your paint job.
Many homeowners prefer spring scheduling because it protects their home through summer and prepares it for winter, but fall painting can also work well if weather cooperates.
We use professional drop cloths, plastic sheeting, and protective coverings designed specifically for painting projects. Your furniture gets moved to the center of rooms and covered completely, not just draped with old sheets.
For exterior work, we protect plants, walkways, and outdoor furniture with heavy-duty materials that won’t tear or shift in the wind. We also trim back vegetation that’s too close to surfaces we’re painting, with your permission.
At the end of each day, we clean up completely and remove protective materials from walkways so you can use your home normally. Final cleanup includes checking for any paint drops and making sure everything is back in place.
Yes, we help homeowners choose colors that work with their home’s architecture and Andover’s character. We understand which colors work best on colonial-style homes versus contemporary designs.
We can provide sample patches on your actual surfaces so you see how colors look in different lighting throughout the day. This prevents the disappointment of choosing a color based on a small paint chip that looks completely different on your walls.
For historic district properties, we’re familiar with approved color palettes and can guide you toward choices that meet requirements while still reflecting your personal style.
We typically recommend premium acrylic latex paints for most applications because they perform well in our climate and offer the best durability. Water-based paints now represent 89% of paint options, reflecting consumer preference for environmentally conscious choices.
For exterior work, we use paints specifically formulated to resist fading, chalking, and moisture penetration. Interior paints are chosen based on the room’s use—higher-sheen finishes for kitchens and bathrooms, and more forgiving finishes for living areas.
We stock several premium paint lines and can explain the differences so you make an informed choice based on your budget and performance expectations.
Costs vary significantly based on surface condition, paint quality, and project complexity. Interior rooms typically range from $300-800 per room, while exterior projects depend on home size and prep work needed.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down labor, materials, and any additional services like repairs or specialty finishes. This prevents surprise charges and helps you understand what you’re paying for.
With Andover home values averaging over $900,000, most homeowners find that investing in quality painting protects their substantial investment and provides excellent value compared to the cost of premature repainting.
