Your walls will look flawless for years, not months. You’ll stop worrying about paint peeling, fading, or looking cheap after the first season.
The difference shows immediately. Clean lines that stay straight. Colors that don’t shift or dull. Surfaces that actually protect your home instead of just covering it up.
Most importantly, you’ll have peace of mind knowing the job was done with family-safe, eco-friendly products that won’t compromise your indoor air quality or put your kids and pets at risk.
Clarita’s Cleaning has been serving Hillside families for over ten years, and we’ve built our reputation on one simple principle: treat every home like it’s our own.
As a family-owned business, we know Massachusetts homes face unique challenges. Harsh winters, coastal moisture, and those beautiful but complex architectural details that make older New England homes special – and tricky to paint properly.
We use professional-grade equipment and eco-friendly products that are safe for children and pets, because we understand that your home isn’t just a structure – it’s where your family lives and breathes every day.
First, we come to your home for a detailed assessment. Not a quick walk-through – a real evaluation of your surfaces, existing paint condition, and any prep work needed.
Next comes the preparation phase, which is where most painters cut corners. We don’t. Every surface gets properly cleaned, sanded, and primed because we know this step determines how long your paint job will actually last.
During painting, we protect your furniture, floors, and belongings like we’re working in our own home. When we’re finished, we do a final walkthrough with you to ensure every detail meets our standards – and yours.

Your residential painting project includes comprehensive surface preparation, premium primer application, and two coats of high-quality paint designed to withstand Massachusetts weather.
For Hillside homeowners, this matters more than you might think. The coastal climate here is tough on exterior paint – salt air, temperature swings, and moisture can destroy a cheap paint job in just a few seasons.
We also handle the details that other painters skip: proper caulking around windows and trim, careful attention to architectural features, and thorough cleanup that leaves your property looking better than when we started. No paint cans left behind, no brushes “forgotten” in your bushes.
Most exterior painting projects in Hillside take 3-5 days for an average-sized home, but the timeline depends on several factors specific to Massachusetts homes.
Weather plays a big role – we won’t paint in high humidity, rain, or temperatures below 50°F because it compromises the paint’s ability to cure properly. Spring and early fall are ideal seasons here.
Surface preparation adds time but saves you money long-term. If your home has lead paint (common in pre-1978 Hillside homes), we follow EPA-certified lead-safe practices, which requires additional steps but keeps your family safe.
Interior painting typically costs $2-6 per square foot in the Hillside area, while exterior painting runs $3-7 per square foot, depending on your home’s condition and complexity.
Exterior costs more because of the prep work required for Massachusetts weather exposure. Your siding needs more extensive cleaning, scraping, and priming to handle coastal moisture and temperature extremes.
Interior projects can be more predictable, but factors like ceiling height, trim complexity, and the number of colors affect the final price. We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for – no surprise charges.
Yes, we’re EPA-certified for lead-safe work practices, which is required by law for any home built before 1978 in Massachusetts.
This isn’t optional – disturbing lead paint without proper certification puts your family at serious health risk and can result in hefty fines. Many Hillside homes fall into this category given the area’s history.
Our lead-safe process includes containment, specialized equipment, and proper disposal of all materials. It adds to the project timeline and cost, but it’s the difference between a legal, safe paint job and a potential health hazard.
We use premium acrylic latex paints from Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams, specifically formulated for New England’s harsh climate conditions.
These paints resist moisture penetration, temperature fluctuations, and UV damage that’s common in the Hillside area. Cheaper paints might save you money upfront, but you’ll be repainting in 3-4 years instead of 8-10.
For coastal homes, we often recommend paints with mildew resistance and enhanced durability ratings. The salt air here is particularly hard on exterior surfaces, so using the right product from the start prevents costly repairs later.
We treat your property like our own, which means comprehensive protection for everything that shouldn’t have paint on it.
All plants, outdoor furniture, and hardscaping get covered with plastic sheeting or canvas drop cloths. We’re particularly careful around established landscaping – many Hillside homes have mature plantings that would be expensive to replace.
If we need to move items, we ask permission first and return everything to its original position. We also do a thorough cleanup each day, not just at the end of the project, because we know you still need to use your outdoor space.
We offer a comprehensive satisfaction guarantee backed by over a decade of local experience and full bonding and insurance coverage.
If you’re not completely satisfied with any aspect of the work, we’ll return to address it at no charge. This isn’t limited to just the first few weeks – we stand behind our craftsmanship for the long term.
Our guarantee covers both workmanship and materials. If premium paint fails prematurely due to application issues, we’ll fix it. If you notice missed spots or uneven coverage, we’ll return promptly to make it right. Your satisfaction isn’t just guaranteed – it’s how we’ve built our reputation in Hillside.
