Hear from Our Customers
Your walls tell your story. When you choose our professional painting services, you’re not just getting a fresh coat of paint—you’re investing in a space that feels entirely renewed.
Picture walking into rooms that feel brighter, cleaner, and more welcoming. Colors that complement your lifestyle and reflect your personality. Paint that actually lasts, applied with precision that shows in every corner and edge.
That’s what happens when you work with a painter who treats your home like their own. No shortcuts, no mess left behind, just results that make you proud to invite people over again.
For over a decade, we’ve been serving Powder House Square and surrounding Somerville communities with the same commitment to excellence that built our reputation. We’re not the biggest painting company, and that’s exactly why families choose us.
As a family-owned business, we understand what it means to take care of your most important investment. Every project gets our personal attention, from the initial consultation to the final walkthrough.
Powder House Square residents appreciate our approach because we know this neighborhood. We understand the historic character of these homes, the busy schedules of families near Tufts, and the importance of using safe, non-toxic products in family spaces.
We start with a conversation about your vision and needs. No pressure, just honest advice about colors, finishes, and what will work best for your space and lifestyle.
Next comes thorough preparation—the step that separates professional work from amateur results. We protect your furniture and floors, prep surfaces properly, and ensure clean lines that last. Our team uses only eco-friendly, non-toxic paints that are safe for your family and pets.
During painting, we maintain a clean work environment and respect your daily routine. We communicate clearly about timing and progress, so you’re never left wondering what’s happening. When we’re finished, we do a detailed walkthrough together to ensure everything meets your expectations before we consider the job complete.

Our painting services cover everything from single accent walls to complete home transformations. Interior painting includes walls, ceilings, trim, and detailed work around fixtures and built-ins. We handle color consultations and can work with your existing décor or help you envision something entirely new.
For Powder House Square’s mix of historic and modern homes, we understand the unique considerations each property requires. Victorian-era details need careful attention, while newer constructions benefit from techniques that highlight clean, contemporary lines.
Exterior painting services protect your investment while enhancing curb appeal. We use weather-resistant, high-quality paints designed to withstand New England’s challenging climate. From preparation through final cleanup, every step is handled with the same meticulous attention to detail that has earned us loyal customers throughout Somerville.
We exclusively use eco-friendly, non-toxic paints that are safe for families and pets. Our preferred brands include premium options from Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams, chosen for their durability, coverage, and low-VOC formulations.
These paints provide excellent coverage while maintaining indoor air quality—especially important in Powder House Square’s family-focused community. We can discuss specific product recommendations based on your room’s function, lighting, and desired finish during our consultation.
The investment in quality paint pays off through better coverage, longer-lasting results, and a healthier home environment for your family.
Protection is a crucial part of our process that sets professional painters apart. We use high-quality drop cloths, plastic sheeting, and painter’s tape to create complete barriers around your belongings and flooring.
All furniture is either moved to the center of the room and covered or relocated entirely, depending on the project scope. We use specialized floor protection that won’t leave residue but provides complete coverage against drips or spills.
Our team takes extra care around valuable items and maintains these protections throughout the entire project. At the end of each day, we ensure everything is properly secured before leaving your home.
Most single-room projects take 1-2 days, while whole-home interior painting typically requires 3-5 days, depending on the size and complexity of your space. We provide realistic timelines during our initial consultation and stick to them.
Factors that influence timing include the number of rooms, ceiling height, amount of trim work, and whether any repairs are needed before painting. We also consider your family’s schedule and can work around important events or daily routines.
We believe in doing the job right rather than rushing through it. Quality preparation and proper drying time between coats are essential for results that last, and we never compromise on these standards to meet artificial deadlines.
Yes, we provide color consultation as part of our service because choosing the right colors can feel overwhelming with so many options available. We help you select colors that complement your existing décor, lighting conditions, and personal style.
Our experience in Powder House Square homes gives us insight into what works well with different architectural styles and room orientations. We can suggest color schemes that enhance natural light, make spaces feel larger, or create the specific mood you’re looking for.
We also provide sample applications so you can see how colors look in your actual lighting conditions before making final decisions. This extra step prevents costly mistakes and ensures you’ll love the results for years to come.
Thorough preparation is what separates professional results from DIY attempts. We start by filling holes, cracks, and imperfections, then sand surfaces smooth for optimal paint adhesion. All surfaces are cleaned to remove dust, dirt, and any residue that could affect the finish.
We carefully caulk gaps around trim, windows, and baseboards to create clean lines and prevent moisture issues. Primer is applied when needed, especially over stains, bold colors, or new surfaces to ensure even coverage and color accuracy.
This preparation work takes time but creates the foundation for a flawless finish that lasts. Shortcuts in preparation always show up in the final result, which is why we never skip these essential steps.
We understand that your home is your sanctuary, and painting shouldn’t completely disrupt your life. We work with you to establish a schedule that minimizes inconvenience, whether that means starting early, working around nap times, or focusing on specific areas while you use others.
Our team maintains a clean, organized work environment throughout the project. We contain dust and debris, use low-odor paints, and ensure pathways remain accessible. At the end of each day, we clean up thoroughly so your home remains livable.
Communication is key—we provide regular updates on progress and any schedule adjustments. Our goal is professional results with minimal stress, allowing you to enjoy the transformation process rather than endure it.
