Clarita’s Cleaning has served Cambridge, MA for over ten years as a family-owned business. We understand the unique challenges of painting in this historic city – from working with century-old materials to navigating Cambridge Historical Commission guidelines.

Your Cambridge home gets the attention it deserves from painters who actually understand what they’re working with.
We start with a detailed walkthrough of your Cambridge home, identifying prep needs like power washing, scraping old paint, or repairing trim. You know exactly what we’ll do and why before we start.
Surface preparation comes first – this determines whether your paint job lasts three years or fifteen. We handle everything from caulking gaps to priming properly, using the right products for your specific materials.
Then we apply two finish coats of premium paint, protecting your floors and landscaping throughout. You get a three-year guarantee because we use materials and methods that actually work long-term.
