You know that feeling when you walk into a beautifully painted room. The colors are rich, the lines are crisp, and everything just feels right. That’s what happens when painting is done properly.
Most painting jobs look decent from across the room. But when you get close, you see the difference. No brush marks on your trim. No missed spots behind furniture. No paint on your hardwood floors.
Your Boynton Yards home deserves the kind of painting work that makes you proud to invite people over. The kind where your guests actually comment on how great everything looks.
Clarita’s Cleaning has been serving Massachusetts homeowners for over a decade. What started as a family cleaning business naturally expanded into painting because clients kept asking for recommendations they could trust.
We understand Boynton Yards’ unique character. This isn’t your typical suburb. You’ve got biotech professionals living next to artists, historic details mixed with modern design, and people who expect quality work that matches their standards.
We use family-safe, eco-friendly products because many clients have children, pets, or simply care about what goes into their indoor air. Every project comes with transparent pricing upfront and flexible scheduling that works around your busy life.
First, we visit your home for a detailed assessment. You’ll discuss colors, timeline, and get a written estimate that covers everything. No hidden fees or surprise charges later.
Before any paint touches your walls, surfaces get properly prepared. That means filling holes, sanding rough spots, and protecting your furniture and floors. This prep work is what separates amateur jobs from professional results.
The actual painting follows a systematic approach. Two coats minimum, proper drying time between coats, and quality checks throughout the process. When we’re finished, your home gets a thorough cleanup and final walkthrough to ensure everything meets your expectations.

Whether you need interior painting for a single room or exterior painting for your entire home, our service covers both. Interior work includes walls, ceilings, trim, and doors. Exterior services handle siding, trim, decks, and any outdoor surfaces that need attention.
Boynton Yards homes face unique challenges. The area’s proximity to Cambridge and Boston means dealing with urban pollutants that can affect exterior paint longevity. Massachusetts weather adds another layer of complexity with harsh winters and humid summers.
We select paints specifically designed for New England conditions. Premium exterior paints that resist fading and peeling. Interior paints with excellent coverage and durability. Every product is chosen to deliver lasting results that protect your investment.
Painting costs in Massachusetts typically range from $2 to $6 per square foot for interior work and $1.50 to $4.50 per square foot for exterior painting. Your final price depends on several factors: the size of your home, current condition of surfaces, paint quality you choose, and amount of prep work needed.
For a typical Boynton Yards home, interior painting of a 12×12 room usually runs $450 to $1,250, while exterior painting of a 2,500 square foot house ranges from $7,100 to $8,800. These numbers include labor, materials, and basic surface preparation.
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 hidden fees added later.
Massachusetts homes need paints designed to handle extreme temperature swings, high humidity, and harsh winter conditions. For exterior work, premium acrylic latex paints with advanced weather protection perform best. These paints resist fading, cracking, and peeling caused by freeze-thaw cycles.
Interior paints should offer excellent coverage and durability, especially in high-traffic areas. Semi-gloss finishes work well for kitchens and bathrooms where moisture is a concern, while eggshell or satin finishes are ideal for living spaces.
We only use professional-grade paints from trusted manufacturers like Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams. These brands offer superior coverage, color retention, and longevity compared to big-box store alternatives. The small upfront investment in quality paint saves money long-term by extending the time between repaints.
Timeline depends on project scope and current conditions. A single room typically takes 1-2 days including prep work and drying time between coats. Whole house interior projects usually require 4-7 days, while exterior painting takes 3-5 days for most homes.
Weather affects exterior work schedules. Massachusetts humidity and temperature need to be within specific ranges for optimal paint adhesion. We monitor conditions carefully and may adjust schedules to ensure proper curing.
Preparation work often takes longer than the actual painting, especially for older homes that need surface repairs or lead-safe practices. However, this prep work is essential for achieving professional results that last. We provide realistic timelines upfront and communicate any changes due to weather or unexpected conditions.
Yes, we’re trained in EPA RRP (Renovation, Repair, and Painting) compliance for homes built before 1978. This certification is required by law for any contractor working on pre-1978 homes where lead paint may be present.
Lead-safe practices include containing work areas with plastic sheeting, using HEPA filtration, minimizing dust creation, and proper cleanup procedures. All debris is disposed of according to EPA guidelines. These precautions protect your family and the environment from lead exposure.
Many Boynton Yards homes have historic character that requires special attention. We have experience working with detailed millwork, original trim, and architectural features that need careful handling. You get the benefit of updated paint without compromising your home’s historic charm.
Color matching is possible in most cases using computerized color analysis. We can take a sample of your existing paint to any major paint retailer for precise color matching. This works well when you need to touch up areas or paint additional rooms to match existing work.
However, paint colors can shift over time due to fading, age, and environmental factors. Sometimes the “match” looks different because your existing paint has changed from its original color. In these cases, you might want to consider refreshing the entire space with new paint.
We offer color consultation services to help you choose colors that work well with your home’s lighting, architecture, and furnishings. We can suggest complementary colors for accent walls or help you transition between rooms for a cohesive look throughout your home.
Standard preparation includes filling nail holes and small cracks, light sanding of rough surfaces, cleaning walls to remove dirt and grease, and applying primer where needed. Furniture and floors are protected with drop cloths and plastic sheeting.
More extensive prep work like wallpaper removal, significant drywall repair, or wood rot replacement is quoted separately. We assess your specific needs during the initial consultation and include all necessary prep work in your written estimate.
Proper preparation is what separates professional results from amateur work. Skipping prep steps might save time initially, but it leads to poor paint adhesion, visible imperfections, and shorter lifespan for your paint job. We never cut corners on preparation because it’s the foundation of lasting results.
