Your home deserves more than just a fresh coat of paint. You deserve protection that lasts through Massachusetts winters and summers that won’t fade after the first season.
When we finish your project, you’ll have surfaces that resist peeling, cracking, and weather damage for years to come. Your neighbors will notice the difference, and you’ll feel confident knowing your home’s exterior is properly protected against the elements.

Greenwood’s architectural diversity requires specialized knowledge. From Cape Cod cottages to American Foursquares, each style has specific requirements for proper paint adhesion and weather protection. The humid summers and harsh winters demand paint systems that can expand and contract without cracking.
Interior projects focus on creating healthy, beautiful spaces using low-VOC paints that won’t compromise your indoor air quality. Exterior work emphasizes long-term protection against moisture, UV damage, and temperature fluctuations that are common in Massachusetts climate.
Quality exterior paint should last 7-10 years in Massachusetts when properly applied over well-prepared surfaces. However, this depends heavily on the preparation work and paint quality used.
New England’s freeze-thaw cycles, humid summers, and UV exposure are particularly hard on paint. That’s why we focus extensively on surface preparation and use premium paints designed specifically for harsh climates. Cheaper paint jobs might look fine initially but often start failing within 2-3 years.
The key is proper primer application and using paint systems that can flex with temperature changes. When done right, you shouldn’t see peeling, cracking, or significant fading for many years, even on the south-facing sides of your home that get the most sun exposure.
Eco-friendly paints contain significantly lower levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which means fewer harmful fumes and better indoor air quality for your family. This is especially important in Greenwood homes where families spend considerable time indoors during New England winters.
Traditional paints can release chemicals for months after application, potentially causing headaches, respiratory irritation, or other health issues. Low-VOC and zero-VOC paints eliminate most of these concerns while still providing excellent coverage and durability.
The performance difference is minimal with today’s advanced formulations. Eco-friendly paints dry just as well, offer the same color selection, and provide comparable longevity. The main difference is that your home remains healthier during and after the painting process, which matters when you have children, pets, or family members with sensitivities.
Older homes require specialized knowledge and techniques that many painters don’t possess. We start with careful assessment of existing paint layers, substrate conditions, and any lead paint concerns for homes built before 1978.
Historic homes often have unique architectural details, original millwork, and surfaces that need specific preparation methods. We take extra care to preserve these character features while ensuring proper paint adhesion. This might involve gentle paint removal techniques, specialized primers, or custom color matching for authenticity.
The preparation phase typically takes longer on historic homes, but it’s essential for long-lasting results. We also understand local historic district requirements if your property has any preservation guidelines. Our experience with Greenwood’s diverse architectural styles means we know what works best for each type of home construction.
Thorough surface preparation is the foundation of any quality paint job, and it’s where many contractors cut corners. We start by pressure washing exterior surfaces to remove dirt, mildew, and loose paint, allowing proper inspection of the substrate condition.
Next comes scraping, sanding, and filling any cracks, holes, or imperfections. We pay special attention to caulking around windows, doors, and trim to prevent moisture intrusion. All surfaces receive appropriate primer application, which is crucial for paint adhesion and longevity.
For interior work, we protect your furniture and floors, fill nail holes and imperfections, sand rough areas, and apply primer where needed. We also remove switch plates, outlet covers, and hardware to ensure clean, professional lines. This preparation phase typically represents 60-70% of the project time, but it’s what separates a professional job from a quick cover-up.
Property protection is a standard part of our process, not an afterthought. We start by covering plants, outdoor furniture, and walkways with appropriate drop cloths and plastic sheeting before any prep work begins.
Shrubs and delicate plantings near the house receive special attention with breathable covers that allow air circulation while protecting from paint overspray and debris. We’re careful about ladder placement to avoid damaging landscaping and always clean up daily to prevent paint chips or materials from accumulating in garden beds.
For pressure washing, we pre-wet plants and rinse them afterward to dilute any cleaning solution contact. We also coordinate with homeowners about any seasonal plantings or special landscape features that need extra protection. At project completion, we do a thorough cleanup and inspection to ensure your property looks better than when we started.
Our free estimates are comprehensive consultations, not quick walk-throughs. We’ll spend time discussing your goals, examining all surfaces that need attention, and identifying any potential challenges or additional prep work required.
You’ll receive a detailed written estimate that breaks down labor, materials, and timeline expectations. We explain our process, answer your questions about paint selection, and discuss any options for upgrades or additional services. There’s no pressure to decide immediately.
We also provide information about paint warranties, our cleanup procedures, and what to expect during the actual work. If you have specific concerns about dust, noise, or access to certain areas of your home, we address those during the estimate. The goal is to ensure you’re completely comfortable with the scope and approach before any work begins.
