You’re not looking for the cheapest painter. You’re looking for someone who won’t leave drips on your trim, won’t ghost you halfway through, and won’t use your home as practice.
When the job’s done right, you get clean lines, even coverage, and paint that holds up through Massachusetts winters. Your home looks updated without the stress of managing a crew that doesn’t care. You don’t have to repaint touch-ups yourself or deal with peeling six months later.
Good residential painting means proper prep work, not shortcuts. It means using products that can handle humidity and temperature swings. It means a crew that respects your schedule and your space. And it means you can actually enjoy the result instead of spotting problems we should’ve caught.
We’ve spent more than ten years serving homeowners in Nutting Lake and the surrounding Billerica area. We’re a family-run business, which means when something’s not right, we fix it. No runaround, no excuses.
We know what matters to people here. Homes in this area—many built between the ’40s and ’90s—have their quirks. Old trim that needs careful prep. Siding that’s seen a few too many winters. Rooms that haven’t been touched in years. We’ve worked on enough of them to know what actually works and what’s just wasted effort.
You’re not hiring a franchise or a crew that’s here today, gone tomorrow. You’re hiring people who live and work in this community and plan to keep doing so.
First, we come out and look at what you’re working with. We talk about what you want, what condition the surfaces are in, and what prep work is actually needed. Then we give you a free estimate—no pressure, no games.
If you decide to move forward, we schedule around your life, not ours. We show up when we say we will. We protect your floors, furniture, and anything else that shouldn’t get paint on it.
The actual painting starts with prep. That means cleaning, sanding, patching holes, and priming where it’s needed. Skipping this step is how you end up with a paint job that looks bad in six months. We don’t skip it.
Then we paint. We use family-safe, eco-friendly products that won’t fill your home with fumes or put your kids and pets at risk. We apply coats evenly, cut clean lines, and don’t leave a mess behind. When we’re done, we walk through with you to make sure you’re happy. If something’s not right, we handle it before we leave.

Whether it’s interior painting, exterior painting, or both, the process is the same: thorough prep, quality materials, and clean execution. Interior work covers walls, ceilings, trim, doors—whatever needs it. Exterior work means dealing with siding, shutters, fascia, and all the surfaces that take a beating from Massachusetts weather.
Nutting Lake sits right in Middlesex County, where homes deal with cold winters, humid summers, and everything in between. That means your paint needs to hold up to temperature swings, moisture, and UV exposure. We use products designed for New England conditions, not just whatever’s on sale.
For older homes—and there are plenty around here built in the ’40s through the ’90s—we pay attention to things like lead paint protocols if your home was built before 1978. We handle surface repairs, deal with peeling or chipping paint, and make sure everything’s properly sealed before we ever open a paint can.
You also get flexible scheduling, because we know you’re not sitting around waiting for painters to show up. We work around your life, keep the disruption to a minimum, and clean up when we’re done. No drop cloths left behind, no paint cans in your garage, no half-finished corners you have to deal with yourself.
It depends on the size of the job, the condition of the surfaces, and what you’re painting. Interior painting typically runs $2 to $6 per square foot in Massachusetts, with most jobs averaging around $3.50 per square foot. A standard bedroom might cost $650 to $1,400, while a whole-home interior can range from $3,000 to $9,000.
Exterior painting costs between $1.50 and $4.50 per square foot, depending on your siding material, home height, and how much prep work is needed. A full exterior job on an average-sized home usually falls between $3,000 and $10,000.
The best way to know what your specific project will cost is to get a free estimate. We’ll come out, look at what needs to be done, and give you a clear number—no surprises, no hidden fees.
Interior projects usually take three to seven days, depending on how many rooms you’re painting and how much prep work is involved. If we’re just doing one or two rooms, it’s faster. If we’re painting your entire home, including ceilings and trim, it takes longer.
Exterior projects typically take five to ten days. Weather plays a role here—we can’t paint in the rain or when temperatures drop too low, so timing matters. Massachusetts weather can be unpredictable, especially in spring and fall, so we build in some flexibility.
We don’t drag projects out. Once we start, we work full days and stay on schedule. You won’t have a crew that disappears for days at a time or leaves your home half-finished while they bounce between other jobs.
Yes. We use family-safe, eco-friendly products that won’t fill your home with harsh fumes or put your kids and pets at risk. Low-VOC and zero-VOC paints have come a long way—they perform just as well as traditional paints without the chemical smell or health concerns.
This matters especially for interior painting, where you’re living in the space while the paint cures. You shouldn’t have to leave your home for days or worry about what you’re breathing. Our products are safe, durable, and designed to hold up over time.
For exterior work, we use paints formulated to handle New England’s climate—humidity, temperature swings, UV exposure, and everything else that breaks down cheaper products. You get the environmental benefits without sacrificing performance or longevity.
Prep work is what separates a paint job that lasts from one that starts peeling in a year. We don’t skip it. For interior projects, that means cleaning surfaces, patching holes and cracks, sanding rough spots, and priming where needed. If you’re changing from a dark color to a light one (or vice versa), we apply extra coats to make sure the old color doesn’t bleed through.
For exterior work, prep is even more critical. We power wash to remove dirt and mildew, scrape off loose or peeling paint, sand rough areas, and caulk gaps around windows and doors. If your home was built before 1978 and has lead paint, we follow EPA-certified lead-safe practices to protect you and your family.
Proper prep takes time, but it’s the only way to get results that actually last. Homes in Nutting Lake deal with tough weather, and cutting corners on prep means you’ll be repainting sooner than you should.
For interior painting, the signs are usually obvious: walls that look dingy or outdated, chipped or peeling paint, visible stains or damage, or rooms that just need a refresh. If you’re selling your home, a fresh coat of paint is one of the most cost-effective ways to increase appeal and value.
Exterior painting is needed when you see peeling, cracking, or fading paint, especially on south- and west-facing walls that get the most sun exposure. If your siding looks worn, if caulk around windows and doors is cracking, or if your home just looks tired from the street, it’s time.
In Massachusetts, exterior paint typically lasts five to ten years depending on the quality of the original job and how well the home is maintained. If it’s been longer than that, or if you’re seeing visible wear, it’s worth getting it looked at before small problems turn into bigger ones.
Yes. We’re fully licensed and insured, which protects both you and us. If something goes wrong—an accident, damage to your property, or any other issue—you’re covered. Hiring an uninsured painter might save you money upfront, but it puts you at serious risk if anything happens.
Massachusetts also has specific regulations around lead paint, especially for homes built before 1978. We follow EPA RRP (Renovation, Repair, and Painting) guidelines and are certified to handle lead-safe work. That means proper containment, cleanup, and disposal of any lead-contaminated materials.
When you hire us, you’re working with professionals who do this the right way. We provide written estimates, clear contracts, and warranties on our work. You know what you’re paying for, what’s included, and what to expect from start to finish.
