Exterior Painting for Homes and Businesses
Whether you own a colonial on the South Shore or manage a commercial property on Cape Cod, your building's exterior faces the same punishing New England elements. We tailor every project to the property type, surface material, and level of coastal exposure.
For Homeowners
Your home is your biggest investment. Salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and UV exposure break down exterior paint faster than you expect. We protect your clapboard, cedar shingles, trim, and siding with meticulous prep and premium coatings that stand up to coastal weather for years.
For Business Owners
A faded, peeling exterior sends the wrong message to customers. We schedule around your business operations to refresh your storefront, office, or multi-unit property with minimal disruption and maximum curb appeal.

Complete Exterior Painting Services for Every Surface
Our crew handles every exterior surface on your property — from full house painting to trim details, cedar shingle staining, and garage doors. Select a service below to learn what's involved and what to expect.
Full exterior house painting is our core service and what we've been doing since 1960. We paint wood clapboard, vinyl siding, aluminum siding, cement fiberboard, brick, and stucco — essentially any surface that faces the elements.
Every project begins with a full assessment of your home's condition. We check for peeling, cracking, mildew, wood rot, and failing caulk before proposing a scope of work. Preparation typically includes power washing, hand scraping of all loose paint, sanding, spot priming bare wood, caulking every seam and joint, and filling any holes or imperfections.
We use premium paints from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore — products formulated to resist fading, cracking, and mildew in humid, salt-heavy coastal environments. Most exterior jobs receive two full coats for maximum durability and color depth.
In-House Crews Only
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.

Premium Paint Products
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.
Licensed & Fully Insured
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.
65+ Years Family Owned
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.
EPA Lead-Safe Certified

General Questions
The best window for exterior painting in New England is late April through October, when daytime temperatures consistently stay between 50 and 85 degrees and humidity is manageable. Late spring and early fall often provide the most ideal conditions — warm enough for proper paint adhesion and curing, but not so hot that paint dries too quickly. We schedule our exterior season accordingly, so booking early in the spring ensures you get your preferred timeframe.
