Hear from Our Customers
Walk into rooms that feel completely refreshed. Colors that make you proud to invite people over. Exterior paint that actually protects your home from Massachusetts weather instead of just covering it up.
You get the satisfaction of knowing it was done right the first time. No touch-ups needed in six months. No wondering if the prep work was skipped. Just solid results that last.
Your neighbors notice the difference. Your family feels the energy shift. And you stop thinking about painting because it’s finally handled properly.
Clarita’s Cleaning has been serving Lexington families for over a decade. We’re the family-run business that treats your home like our own.
What sets us apart is our commitment to using non-toxic, environmentally friendly products. This matters when you have kids running around or pets that spend time on painted surfaces.
We’ve painted everything from historic Lexington homes dating back to the 1790s to newer construction. We understand how Massachusetts weather affects different surfaces and choose materials accordingly. Local knowledge matters when you’re protecting a significant investment.
First, we provide a free estimate with no pressure tactics. You get a clear breakdown of what’s included and realistic timelines.
Next comes the preparation work that most painters rush through. We clean surfaces thoroughly, patch imperfections, and apply proper primer. This step determines whether your paint job lasts two years or ten years.
Then we apply the paint using techniques designed for your specific surfaces. Interior projects typically take 2-5 days. Exterior work runs 5-10 days including prep, depending on size and weather conditions.
Finally, we clean up completely and do a walkthrough with you. Everything gets put back exactly where it belongs.

You get comprehensive interior and exterior painting services. This includes surface preparation, primer application, and finish coats using family-safe products.
For Lexington’s historic homes, we handle the special requirements these properties demand. Many local homes were built before 1978, which means potential lead paint concerns. We’re trained in safe handling procedures to protect your family.
We also understand Lexington’s Historic Districts Commission requirements. If your home falls within one of the four historic districts, we know the approval process for exterior color changes and can guide you through it.
Weather is always a factor in Massachusetts. We use paints specifically chosen to handle harsh winters, humid summers, and the UV exposure that fades inferior products.
Interior projects usually take 2-5 days depending on the number of rooms and prep work required. Exterior painting takes 5-10 days including surface preparation.
The timeline depends on several factors specific to your home. Historic Lexington properties often need additional prep time due to multiple paint layers or surface repairs. Weather also affects exterior projects – we won’t paint in rain or extreme temperatures because it compromises the finish.
We provide realistic timelines upfront so you can plan accordingly. Rush jobs typically result in shortcuts that show up later as peeling or premature wear.
Yes, we follow all EPA regulations for lead-safe work practices. This is crucial in Lexington where many homes were built before 1978 when lead paint was banned.
Lead paint becomes dangerous when it’s disturbed through sanding or scraping. We use containment methods to prevent dust from spreading through your home. All debris is disposed of according to Massachusetts regulations.
If you have children under 6 or pregnant women in the household, lead safety isn’t optional – it’s legally required. We can also recommend certified lead testing services if you’re unsure about your home’s paint history.
Massachusetts weather is tough on exterior paint. You need products that handle freeze-thaw cycles, UV exposure, and humidity without failing prematurely.
We choose paints with superior adhesion and flexibility. Cheap paint might save money upfront but fails within 2-3 years, requiring complete repainting. Quality paint systems last 8-12 years even in harsh conditions.
For historic homes, we often recommend low-sheen finishes that replicate traditional appearances while using modern formulations. This gives you authentic looks with contemporary durability and easier maintenance.
Complete protection is standard, not an upgrade. We cover furniture, floors, and belongings with quality drop cloths and plastic sheeting.
For interior work, we seal off work areas to contain dust and fumes. We use low-VOC and zero-VOC paints whenever possible to minimize odors and improve indoor air quality during and after the project.
Exterior work includes protecting landscaping, walkways, and adjacent surfaces. We clean up completely each day, so you’re not living in a construction zone. Everything gets put back exactly where it belongs when the project is finished.
Yes, all estimates are completely free with no obligation. We’ll visit your property, discuss your goals, and provide a detailed written proposal.
The estimate includes labor, materials, surface preparation, and cleanup. No hidden fees or surprise charges later. We believe in transparent pricing so you can make informed decisions.
We don’t use high-pressure sales tactics or limited-time offers. Take time to compare options and choose what’s right for your home and budget. Good painting is an investment, not an impulse purchase.
We’re familiar with Lexington’s Historic Districts Commission requirements and can guide you through the approval process for exterior changes.
The Commission must approve all exterior color changes in the four historic districts. This includes paint colors, trim details, and even some surface preparations. The process typically takes 30 days.
We can recommend historically appropriate color schemes that will likely receive approval while still reflecting your personal style. Getting it right the first time saves time and prevents having to repaint if the Commission requires changes.
