How long does exterior painting typically last in Phillips Point's coastal climate?

With proper preparation and premium materials, exterior painting should last 7-10 years in Phillips Point’s coastal environment. The key factors are surface prep, primer selection, and paint quality. We use marine-grade primers on exposed surfaces and high-quality acrylic paints that resist salt air and UV damage. Cheaper paint jobs might look good initially but often start failing within 3-4 years due to inadequate prep work or inferior materials. The investment in quality materials and proper application pays for itself by extending the time between repaints and maintaining your home’s appearance and protection.

What's the best time of year to paint my home exterior in Massachusetts?

Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for exterior painting in Massachusetts. We typically schedule exterior painting projects from May through October when temperatures are consistently above 50°F and humidity levels are manageable. Summer months provide the most predictable weather, but spring and fall can be ideal if you’re flexible with timing. We avoid painting during periods of high humidity or when rain is expected within 24 hours of application. Interior painting can be done year-round since we control the environment. We actually prefer winter months for interior projects when homeowners spend more time indoors and can better appreciate the transformation.

How do you handle lead paint in older Phillips Point homes?

Many Phillips Point homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, and we’re fully certified for safe lead paint removal and containment. We follow EPA RRP (Renovation, Repair, and Painting) guidelines for all pre-1978 properties. Our process includes testing for lead, containing work areas with plastic sheeting, using HEPA filtration, and properly disposing of all debris. We never dry-sand or heat-strip surfaces that may contain lead paint. This adds time and cost to the project, but it’s legally required and essential for your family’s safety. We handle all the paperwork and ensure compliance with both federal and Massachusetts state regulations.

Can you match colors to complement my home's historic character?

Absolutely. Color selection is crucial for Phillips Point’s historic homes, and we provide comprehensive color consultation as part of our painting services. We understand which palettes work with different architectural styles and periods. For colonial and Victorian homes, we often recommend traditional color schemes that enhance rather than fight the original design. We can also suggest modern interpretations of classic colors that provide a fresh look while respecting the home’s heritage. We bring large color samples to your home and view them in different lighting conditions throughout the day. This ensures you’re completely confident in your choice before we start painting.

What's included in your preparation process for exterior painting?

Proper preparation is where quality paint jobs begin. We start by power washing all surfaces and allowing them to dry completely. Then we scrape loose paint, sand rough areas, and fill any cracks or holes with appropriate fillers. We remove or mask all hardware, protect landscaping with drop cloths, and prime any bare wood or metal surfaces. For cedar shingles common in Phillips Point, we pay special attention to end grains and joints where moisture penetration typically begins. Caulking around windows, doors, and trim comes next, followed by spot-priming any repairs. This process typically takes 1-2 days depending on your home’s condition, but it’s what makes the difference between a paint job that lasts and one that fails prematurely.

Do you provide warranties on your painting work?

Yes, we stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties that vary by project type. Exterior painting includes a 5-year warranty on materials and workmanship, while interior painting is warranted for 2 years. Our warranties cover peeling, cracking, or premature fading when the failure is due to our workmanship or materials. Normal wear and tear, damage from severe weather events, or issues caused by building movement aren’t covered. We also provide detailed care instructions to help you maintain your paint job and maximize its lifespan. Most issues that arise are minor touch-ups that we’re happy to address promptly.
