Newbury Painting Company

We Know New England Homes

Fine Coat Painters understands what works in Newbury Old Town. We’ve painted colonial homes along the Merrimack River, Victorian houses near the town center, and everything in between.

The coastal climate here demands proper preparation and quality materials. We use both. Our team knows which primers work best on old clapboard siding and how to prep surfaces so paint actually sticks.

You’re not getting a fly-by-night crew or weekend warriors. You’re getting painters who live and work in this area and understand what your home needs.

Interior Exterior Painting Newbury

Complete Painting Solutions

Whether you need fresh interior paint for your living spaces or exterior protection against New England weather, we handle residential and commercial projects throughout Newbury Old Town.

Interior work includes walls, ceilings, trim, and specialty finishes. We work around your schedule and keep dust and disruption to a minimum. Your furniture stays protected and your daily routine stays intact.

Exterior painting means proper surface preparation, weather-resistant primers, and quality topcoats designed for coastal conditions. We understand how salt air affects different materials and choose products accordingly.

How long does exterior paint last in Newbury's coastal climate?

Quality exterior paint should last 7-10 years in Newbury’s coastal environment when applied correctly. The salt air and temperature fluctuations here are tough on paint, but proper surface preparation and marine-grade primers make a huge difference. Cheap paint jobs might look fine initially but often start failing within 2-3 years. You’ll see chalking, peeling, and fading much sooner. We use paints specifically formulated for coastal conditions and prepare surfaces thoroughly to maximize longevity. The key is starting with properly cleaned and primed surfaces. Skip that step, and even expensive paint won’t perform well.

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

Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for exterior painting in Massachusetts. We typically schedule exterior work from May through October when temperatures stay consistently above 50 degrees and humidity levels are manageable. Interior painting can happen year-round since we control the environment. Many homeowners prefer winter interior projects when they’re spending more time indoors anyway. Weather delays do happen with exterior work, especially during humid summer periods or unexpected rain. We monitor conditions closely and won’t apply paint when conditions aren’t right – that’s how paint jobs fail prematurely.

How do you protect landscaping and outdoor furniture during painting?

We cover everything before we start. Shrubs, flowers, outdoor furniture, and walkways get protected with plastic sheeting and drop cloths. Your landscaping represents years of investment – we treat it that way. For plants close to the house, we use lightweight coverings that allow air circulation while blocking overspray. Heavy plastic can damage plants if left on too long, so we remove coverings daily when possible. We also clean up thoroughly each day. Paint chips, dust, and equipment don’t stay scattered around your property overnight. You should be able to use your outdoor spaces normally when we’re not actively working.

Do you handle lead paint safely in older Newbury homes?

Yes, we’re certified for lead-safe work practices, which is essential for homes built before 1978. Many of Newbury’s historic homes contain lead paint, and federal law requires specific procedures for disturbing these surfaces. We test for lead presence before starting any prep work. If lead is present, we follow EPA RRP (Renovation, Repair, and Painting) rules, including containment, specialized equipment, and proper cleanup procedures. This isn’t optional – it’s about protecting your family’s health and following the law. Contractors who ignore lead safety requirements put you at risk and can face serious penalties.

What's included in your painting estimate?

Our estimates break down labor, materials, and preparation work separately so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. We include surface cleaning, scraping, sanding, priming, and two coats of finish paint unless otherwise specified. We also specify the paint brands and product lines we’ll use. Not all paints are created equal, and you deserve to know what’s going on your home. We don’t use the cheapest options available – quality materials cost more but perform better. Cleanup, drop cloths, and basic surface protection are included. If your project requires extensive masking or special protection, we’ll note that separately. No hidden fees or surprise charges after we start.

Can you match existing paint colors exactly?

We can match most existing colors using spectrophotometer technology at paint stores. Bring us a sample about the size of a quarter, and we can usually get very close to the original color. Keep in mind that paint fades over time, especially on south-facing surfaces. Sometimes what you think you want to match isn’t actually the original color anymore – it’s a faded version. We can help you decide whether to match the faded color or go back to the original. For the best matches, we need samples from areas that haven’t been exposed to direct sunlight. Inside a closet, behind furniture, or under trim pieces usually give us the truest color representation.
