You’ll get more than fresh paint on your walls. Your home gains real protection against Arlington’s humid summers and harsh winters, plus the kind of finish that actually lasts.
No more watching paint peel after two years or dealing with moisture damage because someone skipped the prep work. When we’re done, your home looks exactly how you pictured it, and it stays that way.
The difference shows in your daily life too. You walk up to a home that makes you proud, and neighbors notice. Property value goes up, and you’re not thinking about repainting again for years.
We’ve been serving Arlington families for over a decade, and our approach hasn’t changed: we do the work right, use products that won’t harm your family, and we don’t disappear when the job gets challenging.
Arlington’s historic homes need someone who understands both the character of these properties and the reality of New England weather. We’ve worked on everything from century-old Colonials to modern builds, and we know what preparation actually means.
You’ll work with the same family-owned team from estimate to cleanup. No subcontractors, no surprises, no cutting corners when you’re not looking.
We start with a real consultation at your home, not a quick estimate over the phone. You’ll see exactly what needs attention, what your options are, and what everything costs upfront.
Preparation comes next, and this is where most painters cut corners. We protect your property, repair what needs fixing, and prep surfaces properly. No paint goes on until the foundation is right.
The actual painting uses premium, eco-friendly products applied with techniques that account for Arlington’s climate. We work efficiently but never rush, and we clean up completely each day. When we’re finished, you get a walkthrough to make sure everything meets your standards.

Our residential painting covers everything your Arlington home needs. Interior work includes walls, ceilings, trim, and specialty finishes that transform your living spaces without the mess and disruption you’d expect.
Exterior painting means real protection against our weather, plus the curb appeal that makes your home stand out on the block. We handle surface prep, minor carpentry repairs, and apply coatings designed specifically for New England conditions.
Arlington homeowners also choose us for cabinet refinishing, deck staining, and detailed trim work. Every service uses the same eco-friendly products and meticulous approach that families with children and pets depend on.
Most Arlington homes take 3-5 days for complete exterior painting, but the timeline depends on your home’s size, condition, and weather. We never rush the prep work, which is usually a full day of cleaning, scraping, and repairs.
Weather plays a big role here. We won’t paint in temperatures below 50 degrees or when rain is expected within 24 hours. Arlington’s climate means we sometimes need to adjust schedules, but we’ll keep you updated and work around your needs.
The good news is that proper preparation and quality materials mean this investment lasts 7-10 years, not the 3-4 years you get with rushed jobs.
We use premium acrylic latex paints specifically formulated for New England conditions. These paints expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking, and they resist moisture better than cheaper alternatives.
For exteriors, we typically recommend satin or semi-gloss finishes that shed water and resist mildew. The exact product depends on your home’s materials and exposure, but we only use paints with at least 15-year warranties.
All our paints are low-VOC or zero-VOC, which means no harsh fumes during application and better indoor air quality for your family. This is especially important for interior work where you’re living in the space.
Yes, and this is often necessary on Arlington’s older homes. We handle common issues like rotted trim, loose clapboards, and minor siding repairs as part of the painting process.
Before any paint goes on, we’ll identify areas that need attention and give you a clear estimate for repairs. Most homeowners are surprised how much difference these fixes make in both appearance and paint longevity.
We’re not general contractors, so major structural work gets referred to trusted local professionals. But for the repairs that directly affect your paint job’s success, we handle them properly the first time.
Protection starts before we open the first paint can. We use heavy-duty drop cloths, plastic sheeting, and masking materials to cover plants, walkways, and outdoor furniture that can’t be moved.
Delicate plants get special attention with lightweight covers that allow air circulation. We also pre-wet plants before work begins, which helps any paint overspray wash off easily.
At the end of each day, we remove protective materials from plants so they can breathe overnight, then re-cover them the next morning. Your landscaping investment stays safe while we improve your home.
Interior painting includes thorough wall preparation, priming when needed, two coats of premium paint, and complete trim work. We also handle minor drywall repairs like nail holes and small cracks at no extra charge.
Protection is just as important inside as outside. We use canvas drop cloths, remove outlet covers, and carefully mask everything that shouldn’t get paint. Your furniture and floors stay protected throughout the project.
We work room by room when possible, so you’re not displaced from your entire home. Most interior projects are completed within 2-3 days, depending on the number of rooms and any special finishes you want.
Spring and fall are our busiest seasons in Arlington, so booking 4-6 weeks ahead ensures you get your preferred dates. Summer exterior work can often be scheduled with 2-3 weeks notice.
Winter interior projects have the most flexibility since we’re not weather-dependent. This is actually an ideal time for interior work since humidity is lower and your home’s heating system helps paint cure properly.
We provide free estimates year-round and can often accommodate urgent projects like preparing a home for sale. The key is calling early so we can work together on timing that fits your schedule.
