If your painter finds soft trim, crumbling siding, or water-damaged fascia during prep, the paint will not hold. We handle the carpentry repair and the painting in one project so you are not coordinating two contractors.
Soft trim, rotted window sills, peeling clapboards — wood damage does not fix itself, and painting over it just hides the problem. Our crew handles the carpentry repair AND the paint as a single project, so you get one estimate, one schedule, and one team accountable for the finished look. No coordinating between two contractors.
Deferred maintenance shows fast on commercial buildings — fascia rot, storefront trim damage, soffit failures. We handle exterior carpentry repairs across office buildings, retail storefronts, and multi-unit properties. We provide insurance documentation and COI within 24 hours, and we phase work to minimize disruption to tenants and customers.
Our carpentry work focuses on the wood components that need to be sound before paint goes on. We repair or replace damaged material, prime and seal every surface, then paint to match the rest of your home.
Wood rot is the most common reason homeowners need carpentry before painting. Moisture from rain, snow, ice dams, and coastal humidity works its way behind paint and into the wood beneath. Once rot takes hold, painting over it only hides the problem temporarily while the damage spreads.
Our crew probes every surface during the estimate walk-through. Soft spots, discoloration, and bubbling paint all point to rot hiding underneath. We remove the compromised wood completely, treat adjacent areas to prevent further spread, install new lumber matched to the original profile, then prime and paint for a seamless finish.
In Southeastern Massachusetts, freeze-thaw cycles accelerate rot significantly. Water enters through hairline cracks, freezes and expands overnight, then thaws and soaks deeper into the grain. A board that looks fine in summer may be soft by spring. Our estimates account for this seasonal reality.
Most painters see a rotted shutter or trim board and tell you to throw it out. We rebuild. Watch how Marc saves a custom shutter rotted clean through — no replacement, no contractor referral, just careful prep and the right epoxy system. Carpentry and paint, one phone call.
Our dedicated six-person crew handles every project personally. No subcontractors means consistent quality, direct communication, and the same trusted team from start to finish.
Owner Marc Nelson personally walks your property to assess every detail. You receive a thorough written proposal — no vague ballpark figures, no hidden costs, no obligation.
We use only the highest-quality paints and coatings built to withstand coastal humidity, salt air, and harsh New England winters. Better products mean longer-lasting results and fewer touch-ups.
Every crew member is covered by workers' compensation and general liability insurance. You never have to worry about exposure if something unexpected happens on your property.
Your project benefits from over six decades of knowledge passed down through three generations. That kind of experience means fewer surprises, better problem-solving, and results that stand the test of time.
Many South Shore and Cape Cod homes were built before 1978 and may contain lead paint. Our EPA-certified crews follow strict protocols to keep your family safe during renovation work.
Every carpentry repair follows the same quality-controlled sequence. Here is what to expect from the moment Marc walks your property to the final inspection.
Marc will walk your property, identify every area that needs repair, and deliver a detailed written estimate within 24 hours. No pressure, no obligation.
Three generations of Nelson family craftsmanship have earned the trust of homeowners and businesses across the South Shore and Cape Cod. Here is what they have to say.
The crew from Nelson Painting was fantastic every step of the process. They patched all the failing woodwork spots and the paint job has the house looking like new. I would have given more, but I was only able to click on 5 stars.
We recently had three painters work on the interior of our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, they were professional, courteous, and incredibly hardworking. They paid close attention to detail, respected our home, and made sure everything was spotless when they finished. The quality of their work truly transformed our space — it looks fresh, beautiful, and exactly how we envisioned it. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, skilled painters who take pride in their work. Thank you for making our home look amazing! Thank you so much Bruce Sooy and Marilyn
My husband and I truly appreciate the work Matt, Tyler, Tim & Zach did painting the interior of our home. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The team was professional, courteous, punctual, and incredibly respectful of our home throughout the project. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident in every room. The finished work looks beautiful, and the care they took with preparation, cleanliness, and follow-through did not go unnoticed. It’s refreshing to work with people who clearly take pride in what they do. Your crew worked efficiently, communicated well, and consistently demonstrated a strong work ethic and positive attitude. They made what could have been a disruptive project feel smooth and stress-free.
Nelson Painting just completed painting of my house trim, bulkhead, and wrought iron railings. They were easy to work with, provided estimate in writing, arrived on time, cleaned up each day, and communicated in a timely manner. I recommend them without reservation.
We had the ENTIRE interior of our home painted by Nelson Painting. So happy with everything! Working with Marc and Nicole was seamless and we appreciated their professionalism and prompt responses to our questions. Very accommodating to our wishes and timelines and we were comfortable having them in our home. We will be using them again! Truly a family company that cares about their customers.
I used Nelson Painting on a couple of occasions. One being a new build where they painted the entire interior of the home flawlessly! The other an outdoor job, fixing another contractor’s unacceptable work. Needless to say, it looks amazing now! The Nelson Family and Crew are punctual, accommodating and respectful of your proper. You will not regret hiring Nelson Painting! Thank you! Lori H.

We would highly recommend Nelson Painting, and will use them for any future projects.
Have a question about carpentry repairs, costs, or what to expect? Here are the answers to the questions homeowners ask most often.
During the estimate walk-through, Marc probes every wood surface with an awl and inspects for telltale signs: bubbling or peeling paint, soft spots, discoloration, and areas where caulking has separated. Once the crew starts prep work, additional damage sometimes reveals itself behind paint layers. We document any newly discovered issues and discuss them with you before adding to the scope.
