Hear from Our Customers
When you hire the right painter in Mount Auburn, MA, your home transforms into something you’re genuinely proud of. You wake up to walls that look crisp and professional, not streaky or uneven like DIY attempts.
Your neighbors notice the difference immediately. The fresh paint makes your house stand out for all the right reasons, boosting curb appeal and property value.
Most importantly, you get years of protection from Mount Auburn’s harsh winters and humid summers. Quality exterior painting acts as a shield against moisture, UV damage, and temperature swings that can cost thousands in repairs later.
We’ve been serving Mount Auburn homeowners for over ten years, understanding exactly what works in New England’s challenging climate. Our family-owned painting business treats every project with the same care we’d give our own home.
Mount Auburn’s mix of historic and modern homes requires different approaches. We know which primers work best on older wood siding and which paints hold up against the temperature swings from Elm Street to Pleasant Street.
You’re not getting a corporate painting crew that’s here today, gone tomorrow. We’re local, established, and our reputation depends on every brush stroke looking perfect.
First, we walk through your home together, discussing colors, timeline, and any specific concerns. You get a detailed written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline – no hidden fees or surprise charges later.
Before any paint touches your walls, we protect your furniture and floors completely. Our prep work includes filling holes, sanding rough spots, and priming properly – the steps that separate amateur work from professional results.
We use low-VOC, environmentally safe paints that won’t give you headaches or harm your family. Each room gets finished completely before we move to the next, so you’re not living in chaos for weeks.

Our residential painting services cover everything from single accent walls to complete home makeovers. Interior painting includes bedrooms, kitchens, living areas, and detailed trim work that makes rooms look professionally finished.
For exterior painting, we handle siding, trim, shutters, and front doors with weather-resistant paints designed for Mount Auburn’s climate. The winter temperatures that drop to 30 degrees and summer humidity require specific paint formulations that most contractors skip.
Mount Auburn homeowners are embracing warmer neutral tones and rich earth colors that complement the area’s natural beauty. We help you choose colors that increase home value while reflecting your personal style – whether you’re near the historic district or in newer developments.
Most interior painting projects in Mount Auburn homes take 3-5 days, depending on room count and prep work needed. We complete one room at a time so you’re not displaced from your entire house.
Older Mount Auburn homes often need extra prep time for filling nail holes, sanding woodwork, and addressing minor wall imperfections. We factor this into our timeline upfront so there are no delays.
The actual painting moves quickly once prep is done – we can typically paint a standard bedroom in one day, including trim and touch-ups.
Mount Auburn’s extreme temperature swings – from below freezing winters to humid 80+ degree summers – require high-quality acrylic latex paints with excellent adhesion and flexibility. Cheap paint will crack and peel within two years.
For exterior painting, we use paints specifically rated for New England climates, with built-in mildew resistance for our humid summers. The primer is just as important – it creates the bond that keeps paint adhered through freeze-thaw cycles.
Interior painting benefits from low-VOC formulations that won’t off-gas harmful chemicals into your home. These paints also clean easier and maintain their color longer than builder-grade options.
Start by considering your home’s architectural style and existing fixed elements like flooring and countertops. Mount Auburn’s mix of colonial and contemporary homes each have color palettes that enhance their character.
Current trends favor warm neutrals like soft beiges and greiges, plus rich accent colors like deep greens and warm browns. These colors photograph well if you’re considering selling and create timeless appeal.
We bring color samples to your home so you can see how they look in your actual lighting conditions. Colors that look perfect in the store often appear completely different under your specific windows and fixtures.
Interior painting should typically happen first, especially if you’re doing both projects close together. This prevents outdoor dust and debris from settling on fresh interior paint.
Mount Auburn’s painting season runs from late spring through early fall for exterior work, while interior painting can happen year-round. If you’re planning both, we often recommend interior painting during winter months when you’re spending more time indoors.
The exception is if your exterior paint is failing badly and letting moisture into the house. In that case, exterior painting becomes the priority to prevent structural damage.
Interior painting in Mount Auburn typically runs $3-8 per square foot, depending on room size, ceiling height, and amount of trim work. A standard bedroom usually costs $800-1,500 including materials and labor.
Exterior painting varies more widely based on home size and condition. Most Mount Auburn homes range from $5,000-12,000 for complete exterior painting, including prep work and high-quality paint.
The investment pays off through increased home value and years of protection. Quality paint jobs last 7-10 years exterior and 10+ years interior, making the cost per year quite reasonable.
Yes, comprehensive prep work is included in every painting project. This means filling holes, sanding rough areas, caulking gaps, and priming properly – the steps that determine how long your paint job will last.
We protect all furniture, floors, and landscaping before starting. Drop cloths, plastic sheeting, and careful masking ensure paint only goes where it belongs.
Cleanup is thorough and immediate. We remove all materials, vacuum any dust, and do a final walkthrough to catch any touch-ups needed. You get to enjoy the results without dealing with the mess.
