You know what you’re looking at when you walk into a freshly painted room. Clean lines. Smooth walls. No drips, no missed spots, no evidence of rushed work. That’s what happens when someone takes the time to do it right.
A quality paint job isn’t just about color. It’s about prep work that actually prepares the surface. Primer where it’s needed. Two coats, not one-and-a-half. Edges that don’t bleed. Trim that looks crisp. Cleanup that leaves your home cleaner than when we arrived.
And it lasts. You’re not repainting in two years because the paint’s already peeling or fading. Massachusetts weather is tough on exteriors—freeze-thaw cycles, humidity, UV exposure. Interior spaces take wear too, especially in kitchens, hallways, and high-traffic areas. The right approach means your investment holds up, your home looks better, and you’re not dealing with touch-ups every season.
We’ve been serving Cedarwood, MA and the surrounding area for over 10 years. We’re family-owned, which means we actually care about the work that goes out the door. No subcontractors. No rotating crews. Just experienced professionals who know what they’re doing.
We use family-safe, eco-friendly paints—non-toxic products that won’t put your kids, pets, or indoor air quality at risk. That’s not a sales pitch. It’s standard practice. Because doing the job well means thinking about more than just what’s on the wall.
Customers mention the same things in reviews: thoroughness, reliability, attention to detail. The kind of work where someone notices the small stuff—because that’s what separates a decent paint job from one that actually lasts. Cedarwood homeowners want painters they can trust, and trust gets built one project at a time.
It starts with a free estimate. You show us the space, explain what you’re looking for, and get a clear answer on cost and timeline. No pressure. No vague “ballpark” numbers that double later. Just an honest assessment of what the project requires.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we schedule a start date that works for your life. Prep work comes first—and it’s not optional. Surfaces get cleaned, sanded where needed, and primed properly. Furniture and floors are protected. Anything that shouldn’t get paint on it won’t.
Then the painting begins. Interior or exterior, the approach is the same: careful application, attention to edges and corners, and enough coats to do the job right. If something doesn’t look perfect, we fix it before moving on. You’re not left chasing down touch-ups weeks later.
At the end, there’s a walkthrough. You check the work, ask questions, and make sure you’re happy with the result. Cleanup is thorough. Your home gets returned to you in better shape than it started.

Professional residential painting means covering both interior and exterior projects. Inside your Cedarwood home, that includes walls, ceilings, trim, doors, and any other surfaces that need a refresh. Kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms, hallways—spaces where you spend your time and want them to look right.
Exterior painting protects your home from the elements while improving curb appeal. Siding, trim, shutters, doors, porches, decks—all the surfaces exposed to Massachusetts weather. Proper exterior work means your home can handle winter freezes, spring rain, summer sun, and fall humidity without the paint failing prematurely.
Surface preparation is a major part of what you’re paying for. That means cleaning off dirt and grime, scraping away loose or peeling paint, filling cracks and holes, sanding rough spots, and applying primer where bare wood or repairs are exposed. Skipping these steps is how paint jobs fail early. Doing them right is how they last.
The paints we use are eco-friendly and low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which means better air quality for your family and less environmental impact. These aren’t budget products. They’re professional-grade materials designed to hold up under real-world conditions. In Cedarwood, where homes face temperature swings and moisture exposure, that durability matters.
Flexible scheduling keeps the project from taking over your life. We work efficiently, communicate clearly about timing, and respect your home. You shouldn’t have to rearrange everything for weeks just to get your house painted.
It depends on the size of your home and whether you’re painting the interior, exterior, or both. A typical interior project—say, a few rooms or a whole floor—usually takes anywhere from two to five days. Exterior painting often takes longer, especially on larger homes, because of the prep work involved and weather considerations. You’re looking at roughly five to ten days for a full exterior, though smaller projects like just painting trim or a single-story home can be faster.
The timeline also depends on what condition the surfaces are in. If there’s a lot of peeling paint, wood rot that needs repair, or extensive sanding and priming required, that adds time. But it’s worth it. Rushing through prep is how you end up with a paint job that looks fine for six months and then starts falling apart.
Weather plays a role too, especially for exterior work. Paint needs the right temperature and humidity to cure properly. If it’s too cold, too hot, or raining, we’ll adjust the schedule rather than risk a subpar result. You’ll get a realistic timeline upfront during the estimate, and we’ll keep you updated if anything changes.
We use eco-friendly, low-VOC or zero-VOC formulas that are safer for your family and better for indoor air quality. These are professional-grade products from trusted brands—think Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, and similar manufacturers that contractors rely on for durability and coverage.
For interiors, the paint choice depends on the room and how it’s used. High-traffic areas like hallways and kitchens benefit from more durable, washable finishes. Bedrooms and living rooms can use different sheens depending on your preference. We’ll walk you through options during the estimate so you know exactly what’s going on your walls.
Exterior paints are specifically formulated to handle Massachusetts weather. That means resistance to moisture, UV rays, temperature fluctuations, and the freeze-thaw cycles that can cause cheaper paints to crack and peel. The goal is a finish that protects your siding and trim while looking good for years, not just months. Quality exterior paint is an investment, but it’s one that pays off when you’re not repainting every few seasons.
We handle all surface preparation—it’s a core part of our service, not an extra. Prep work is what separates a paint job that lasts from one that starts failing within a year or two. Skipping it or doing it poorly is the most common reason homeowners end up disappointed with their results.
For interior projects, prep includes cleaning walls to remove dust and grime, patching holes and cracks with spackle or joint compound, sanding rough areas smooth, and applying primer to bare spots or repairs. Trim gets caulked where needed to create clean lines. Floors, furniture, and fixtures are protected with drop cloths and plastic sheeting.
Exterior prep is more involved. It starts with power washing to remove dirt, mildew, and loose paint. Then comes scraping and sanding to get rid of any remaining flaking or peeling paint. Wood rot gets repaired or replaced—you can’t paint over rotted wood and expect it to hold. Cracks and gaps are filled and caulked. Bare wood gets primed. All of this happens before the first coat of paint goes on.
You don’t need to do anything except clear the area of personal items if it’s an interior job, and make sure we have access to water and power if it’s exterior work. Everything else is covered.
Costs vary depending on the scope of the project, the condition of the surfaces, and the size of the space. For interior painting, you’re generally looking at somewhere between $1.70 and $4.00 per square foot, though that can shift based on how much prep work is needed and the type of paint you choose. A single room might run $500 to $2,400, while painting an entire home interior could range from $3,000 to $9,000.
Exterior painting typically costs more because of the additional prep work, equipment, and weather-resistant materials required. In Massachusetts, exterior projects usually fall between $3,000 and $10,000 for a full home, with costs influenced by the size of the house, the number of stories, and the condition of the siding and trim. Homes built before 1978 may require lead-safe practices, which can add to the cost but are legally required and important for safety.
The best way to get an accurate number is through a free estimate. We’ll come out, assess the space, discuss what you’re looking for, and provide a detailed quote that breaks down labor, materials, and any additional work like repairs or extra coats. No hidden fees. No surprises halfway through the project. Just a clear picture of what the job will cost before any work begins.
Yes. In Massachusetts, painters working on jobs over $500 are required to be registered as Home Improvement Contractors through the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation. That registration ensures the contractor meets state requirements and is accountable for the work they do.
Insurance is just as important. Liability insurance protects you as the homeowner if something goes wrong during the project—whether that’s accidental damage to your property or an issue with the finished work. Workers’ compensation coverage protects our crew members in case of an injury on the job, so you’re not held liable if someone gets hurt while working on your home.
Before hiring any painter, you should ask to see proof of licensing and insurance. We have no problem providing that documentation. It’s not about doubting integrity—it’s about protecting yourself and making sure you’re working with a legitimate professional who’s committed to doing things the right way.
For interior projects, the main thing is to clear the space of personal items, wall decorations, and anything fragile or valuable. We’ll move furniture toward the center of the room and cover it, but it’s easier for everyone if smaller items, pictures, and breakables are already out of the way. You’ll also want to remove outlet covers and switch plates if you’re comfortable doing that, though we can handle it as part of the prep work.
If you have pets, plan to keep them in a separate area during the workday. Paint and painting equipment can be stressful for animals, and it’s safer for both us and your pets if they’re not in the work zone. Same goes for young children—having them out of the area just makes the process smoother and safer.
For exterior painting, make sure we have clear access to all sides of the house. Move patio furniture, grills, potted plants, and anything else that might be in the way. Trim back any bushes or plants that are close to the siding or trim—it’ll make the job easier and help protect your landscaping. If there’s an outdoor water source and electrical outlet available, that’s helpful for power washing and equipment.
Beyond that, we’ll handle the rest. Prep work, protection, and cleanup are all part of the service. You don’t need to stress about getting everything perfect before we show up.
