Hear from Our Customers
You know those walls need work. Maybe it’s the fading that’s been bothering you for months, or the spots where the kids got creative. Either way, you’re tired of making excuses when people come over.
When professional painting is done right, you stop noticing what’s wrong and start enjoying what’s right. Colors that make sense with your furniture. Surfaces that look smooth instead of patched together. A home that feels intentional instead of neglected.
The real test isn’t how it looks the day we finish—it’s how it holds up through Massachusetts winters, summer humidity, and daily life with family. That’s where the difference between good work and great work shows up.
Clarita’s Cleaning has been serving Follen Heights families for over a decade. We’re a family-run business that understands what it means to maintain a home in this neighborhood, where attention to detail isn’t just appreciated—it’s expected.
What makes us different is simple: we use eco-friendly, non-toxic products that keep your family safe, and we don’t leave until the job meets our standards. In a community where homes average over $1.7 million, that approach matters.
Our customers consistently say the same thing: “They don’t miss anything.” That’s not an accident. It’s what happens when you care more about your reputation than rushing to the next job.
Everything starts with a free estimate at your home. We’ll look at your space, listen to what you want, and give you honest pricing with everything spelled out clearly. No vague estimates that mysteriously grow once work begins.
Before any paint goes on, we handle the prep work that most people skip—protecting your belongings, cleaning surfaces properly, and fixing issues that would show through new paint. This is the difference between work that lasts and work that disappoints.
During painting, we use premium eco-friendly products applied with techniques that ensure even coverage and long-term durability. We clean up completely each day because your home should stay livable throughout the project. When we’re done, you’ll understand why our customers keep recommending us to neighbors.

Whether you need interior rooms refreshed or exterior surfaces protected from New England weather, we handle residential painting projects with the same thorough approach. Every job includes proper surface preparation, quality primer, and finish coats using family-safe products.
In Follen Heights, many homes feature the kind of architectural details that require experience to paint properly—crown molding, window trim, and traditional elements that add character. We know how to work with these features, not around them.
Massachusetts weather demands paint that can handle temperature swings from summer heat to winter cold, plus humidity and UV exposure. We select products specifically designed for these conditions, which means your investment lasts longer and looks better year after year. Every project includes flexible scheduling and transparent pricing to make the process work with your life, not against it.
House painting costs in Massachusetts typically range from $3,000 to $9,000 for interior work and $3,000 to $10,000 for exterior projects, depending on your home’s size and condition. In Follen Heights, where many homes feature detailed architectural elements, the final price depends on surface preparation needs and complexity.
Your specific cost depends on several factors: existing paint condition, number of coats needed, surface types, and whether lead-safe practices are required for pre-1978 homes. Quality professional painting protects your home’s value and costs less long-term than frequent touch-ups from subpar work.
We provide detailed, written estimates that break down all costs upfront. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before any work begins, with no surprise charges or vague line items that leave you guessing.
Massachusetts homes need paint that can handle extreme temperature changes, high humidity, harsh winters, and intense summer UV exposure. Premium weather-resistant paints from trusted brands offer the durability required for New England’s challenging climate conditions.
For exterior surfaces, we use paints specifically formulated to resist moisture penetration, prevent cracking from freeze-thaw cycles, and maintain color stability despite seasonal weather extremes. Interior paints are low-VOC or zero-VOC for family safety while providing excellent coverage and easy maintenance.
The coastal climate influence from nearby Boston can accelerate paint deterioration, making quality products even more critical. We select paints based on your specific location, surface materials, and exposure conditions to maximize longevity and protection for your investment.
Most residential painting projects in Follen Heights take 3-7 days, depending on project scope and weather conditions. Interior rooms typically require 1-2 days each, while complete exterior painting usually takes 4-6 days for proper preparation, application, and drying time between coats.
Timeline factors include surface preparation requirements, number of coats needed, architectural complexity, and seasonal weather patterns. Massachusetts weather can affect exterior work, so we plan accordingly and communicate any schedule adjustments due to rain or temperature conditions.
We provide realistic timelines during your estimate and keep you informed throughout the project. Our goal is completing quality work efficiently while minimizing disruption to your daily routine and maintaining a clean, organized workspace that respects your home.
Yes, we follow all EPA RRP (Renovation, Repair, and Painting) requirements for lead-safe work practices when working on homes built before 1978. This includes proper containment procedures, specialized equipment, and certified disposal methods to protect your family and our workers from exposure.
Lead paint is common in older Massachusetts homes, particularly in historic areas like Lexington where Follen Heights is located. We’re trained and equipped to handle these situations safely, including testing when necessary and implementing appropriate containment measures during all surface preparation and painting activities.
Lead-safe practices add time and cost to projects, but they’re essential for safety and legal compliance. We explain the entire process clearly and ensure all work meets strict state and federal regulations while delivering the quality results you expect from professional painting services.
Our preparation process includes thorough surface cleaning, scraping loose or peeling paint, sanding rough areas, filling holes and cracks, and applying appropriate primer where needed. We also carefully protect your furniture, flooring, and landscaping before starting any painting work.
For exterior projects, preparation typically involves power washing, scraping weathered paint, caulking gaps around trim and windows, and addressing any moisture issues that could affect paint adhesion and longevity. Interior prep includes patching wall imperfections, cleaning all surfaces, and ensuring smooth, properly prepared conditions for optimal paint application.
Thorough preparation is what separates professional results from amateur work that fails prematurely. We never cut corners on this crucial step because it directly affects how long your paint job will last and how professional it will look. This meticulous approach is why our customers consistently praise both the durability and appearance of our finished work.
Absolutely. We exclusively use eco-friendly, non-toxic, low-VOC or zero-VOC paints that are completely safe for families with children and pets. These products meet strict environmental and health standards while delivering excellent coverage, durability, and long-lasting color retention.
Traditional paints can release harmful chemicals into your home’s air for weeks or months after application, affecting indoor air quality and potentially causing health issues. Our family-safe products significantly reduce or eliminate these concerns, allowing you to use painted rooms immediately without worrying about air quality or health impacts.
This commitment to safe, environmentally conscious products is particularly important for Follen Heights families who value both quality results and family health. You get professional painting results without compromising your family’s well-being or contributing to indoor air pollution that can affect children, pets, or sensitive individuals.
