Hear from Our Customers
You get more than fresh paint when you choose professional painting services in Old Cambridge. You get peace of mind knowing your historic home is handled with the care it deserves, using products that are safe for your family and pets.
Your walls will look flawless, your trim will be crisp, and your exterior will stand up to New England’s harsh weather. But what matters most is that you can trust the process from start to finish.
Every surface gets proper preparation, every corner gets attention, and every detail gets done right. That’s what happens when you work with painters who actually care about the outcome, not just getting to the next job.
We’ve been serving Old Cambridge families for over a decade, building a reputation for work that exceeds expectations. As a family-run business, we understand what it means to care for a home like it’s your own.
Cambridge homeowners choose us because we know the unique challenges of painting historic homes in this area. From lead-safe practices required for pre-1978 homes to understanding the Cambridge Historical Commission guidelines, we handle the details that matter.
Our commitment to eco-friendly, non-toxic products isn’t just good marketing—it’s essential for families with children, pets, or anyone who cares about indoor air quality in their Cambridge home.
The process starts with a free estimate where we assess your specific needs, whether it’s interior rooms that need refreshing or exterior surfaces that need protection from Cambridge’s weather. We explain exactly what needs to be done and why.
Preparation comes next, and this is where most painters cut corners. We don’t. Every surface gets properly cleaned, repaired, and primed. Furniture and fixtures get protected. Lead-safe practices are followed when required for older Cambridge homes.
The painting itself is methodical and thorough. We use premium, eco-friendly paints that provide lasting coverage and protection. Clean-up happens daily, and the final walkthrough ensures everything meets your standards before we consider the job complete.

Interior painting services cover every room in your Cambridge home, from living spaces to bedrooms, kitchens to bathrooms. We handle everything from wall painting to detailed trim work, using low-VOC paints that are safe for your family.
Exterior painting protects your investment against New England weather while enhancing your home’s curb appeal. This is especially important in Old Cambridge, where home values depend on maintaining the character and condition of historic properties.
For Cambridge’s many pre-1978 homes, lead-safe practices aren’t optional—they’re required by law. EPA RRP certification ensures the work is done safely, protecting your family and complying with Massachusetts regulations. This expertise is crucial in a neighborhood where most homes were built well before the lead paint ban.
Yes, we are EPA RRP certified for lead-safe work practices, which is essential for Cambridge homes built before 1978. This certification means we follow strict protocols for containing and safely removing lead paint, protecting your family and our workers.
The process includes proper containment, specialized equipment, and careful cleanup procedures. We handle all the documentation and compliance requirements, so you don’t have to worry about meeting Massachusetts regulations.
Most Cambridge homes were built well before the 1978 lead paint ban, making this certification not just helpful but necessary for safe, legal painting work.
Our approach combines meticulous preparation with family-safe, eco-friendly products. We don’t rush through prep work—every surface gets properly cleaned, repaired, and primed before any paint goes on.
We use premium, low-VOC paints that provide excellent coverage and durability while maintaining healthy indoor air quality. This matters especially for Cambridge families with children, pets, or anyone sensitive to chemical fumes.
As a family-run business with over ten years in Cambridge, we treat every home like our own. That means showing up when scheduled, protecting your belongings, cleaning up daily, and not considering the job done until you’re completely satisfied.
Cambridge has specific guidelines for historic properties, and we understand these requirements. We work within the Cambridge Historical Commission guidelines when needed and can help navigate the approval process for exterior color changes.
Our experience with historic homes means we understand the unique challenges: irregular surfaces, original materials that need special handling, and the importance of preserving architectural details while providing modern protection.
We’ve worked on everything from Victorian-era homes to early colonial properties in Old Cambridge. Each requires a different approach, and our decade of local experience means we know what works and what doesn’t in these beautiful but challenging homes.
Our free estimate includes a thorough assessment of all surfaces, identification of any prep work needed, and recommendations for the best paint products for your specific situation. We explain exactly what needs to be done and why.
For older Cambridge homes, this includes checking for lead paint and explaining safe handling procedures. We also assess any repairs needed before painting and factor these into our timeline and pricing.
You’ll get a detailed written estimate that breaks down labor, materials, and timeline. No surprises, no hidden costs, and no pressure—just honest information to help you make the best decision for your Cambridge home.
Timeline depends on your project scope, but most interior rooms take 2-3 days including prep, painting, and cleanup. Full house interiors typically take 1-2 weeks, while exterior projects range from 1-3 weeks depending on size and weather.
Cambridge’s older homes often require additional prep time, especially when dealing with lead paint or surface repairs. We’d rather take the time to do it right than rush and compromise the quality.
Weather affects exterior projects, and we plan accordingly for Cambridge’s unpredictable New England climate. We’ll give you realistic timelines upfront and keep you informed if anything changes during the project.
Absolutely. We understand that Cambridge homeowners have demanding schedules, and we work around your needs whenever possible. This includes evening consultations, weekend work when appropriate, and flexible project timelines.
For interior projects, we can work room by room to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Many Cambridge clients appreciate being able to stay in their homes while work progresses in phases.
We communicate clearly about our schedule and any changes that might affect your plans. Our goal is to make the painting process as convenient as possible while delivering the quality results your Cambridge home deserves.
