Hear from Our Customers
You’re not just getting a fresh coat of paint. You’re getting protection against Shirley’s harsh winters, UV damage, and moisture that can destroy your home’s value over time.
When we finish your painting project, you’ll have a home that stands out in your neighborhood for all the right reasons. No more embarrassment about peeling paint or faded colors that make your property look neglected.
Your investment stays protected, your family stays safe from toxic fumes, and you get years of compliments from neighbors who notice the difference quality work makes.
We’ve been serving Shirley families for over a decade as a family-owned painter business that treats every home like our own. We know this community values quality work and straight answers.
Living in Shirley means dealing with New England weather extremes that test every paint job. We’ve learned exactly which products and techniques hold up against the moisture, snow, and temperature swings that destroy inferior work.
Our bonded and insured team uses only non-toxic, eco-friendly products because we understand Shirley families prioritize safety for their children and pets. When we say we’re meticulous, we mean it – our customers regularly tell us we “don’t miss a single thing.”
We start with a free estimate where we actually listen to what you want and inspect every surface that needs attention. No high-pressure sales tactics or inflated quotes designed to pad our profits.
Next comes the preparation work that separates professional painters from weekend warriors. We protect your furniture, fix any surface issues, and prime properly because cutting corners here ruins everything that follows.
The painting itself uses premium products applied with techniques we’ve refined over ten years in Shirley homes. We clean up completely each day and do a final walkthrough with you to ensure everything meets our standards before we consider the job finished.

Your residential painter service includes thorough surface preparation, premium paint application, and complete cleanup. We handle interior painting for walls, ceilings, trim, and cabinets, plus exterior painting that protects against Shirley’s challenging weather conditions.
Shirley’s housing stock includes many older homes that require special attention to lead-safe practices and proper surface preparation. We’re trained in these techniques and carry the insurance coverage that protects both your family and your property.
Our house painting services extend beyond basic application. We repair minor drywall damage, caulk gaps that let in moisture, and apply the right number of coats for lasting protection. Every painting project includes our satisfaction guarantee because we’re not finished until you’re completely happy with the results.
Most interior painting projects in Shirley homes take 3-5 days depending on the number of rooms and level of preparation needed. Exterior painting typically requires 5-7 days for a full house, weather permitting.
We factor in Shirley’s unpredictable New England weather when scheduling exterior work. Spring and fall are ideal seasons, but we can work around brief rain delays with proper planning.
The timeline also depends on surface conditions. Older Shirley homes often need additional prep work for peeling paint or minor repairs, which we identify during our initial assessment and include in our schedule estimate.
Shirley’s weather demands high-quality acrylic paints that can handle temperature swings from below zero to 90+ degrees, plus heavy moisture from snow and rain.
For exteriors, we use premium paints with excellent adhesion and flexibility that won’t crack when your siding expands and contracts. These paints also resist UV damage that causes fading and chalking over time.
Interior paints need to handle humidity changes and provide easy cleanup for busy families. We select low-VOC or zero-VOC options that won’t create harmful fumes in your home while still delivering the durability you need in high-traffic areas.
Absolutely. Many Shirley homes were built before 1978 when lead paint was banned, so we follow EPA RRP (Renovation, Repair, and Painting) rules for lead-safe work practices.
This includes containing work areas with plastic sheeting, using HEPA vacuums for cleanup, and wearing proper protective equipment. We’re certified in these procedures and carry the insurance coverage required for lead-safe work.
We test suspicious surfaces before starting and adjust our methods accordingly. This might add a day to your project timeline, but it’s essential for protecting your family’s health and ensuring we comply with all regulations.
We treat your home with the same care we’d want in our own. All furniture gets covered with clean drop cloths or plastic sheeting, and smaller items are moved to a safe location or the center of the room.
Floor protection includes canvas drop cloths that won’t slip like plastic, plus additional protection for high-traffic walkways. We also cover light fixtures, outlets, and switch plates to prevent paint splatter.
At the end of each work day, we do a complete cleanup so you can use your home normally. This includes removing any paint drips, properly storing materials, and ensuring walkways are clear and safe for your family.
Our written estimates include all labor, materials, surface preparation, primer, paint, and cleanup. We specify the exact paint brands and products we’ll use so you know exactly what you’re getting.
Surface preparation details vary by project but typically include washing, scraping loose paint, filling holes, caulking gaps, and priming bare surfaces. We identify any additional repairs needed and include those costs upfront.
We also include our satisfaction guarantee and details about cleanup procedures. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges – the estimate price is what you pay unless you request additional work beyond the original scope.
Exterior painting typically lasts 7-10 years in Shirley’s climate when done with quality materials and proper preparation. South-facing surfaces may need attention sooner due to UV exposure.
Interior paint can last 5-7 years in most rooms, though high-traffic areas like hallways and kitchens may need refreshing every 3-4 years. The quality of the original paint job makes a huge difference in longevity.
Signs it’s time to repaint include fading, chalking, peeling, or cracks that let moisture penetrate. Addressing these issues promptly prevents more expensive repairs to your siding or interior walls.
