Hear from Our Customers
You get a paint job that stands up to everything New England throws at it. No peeling after one winter, no fading by summer’s end, no corners cut to save time.
Your home looks exactly how you pictured it. Clean lines, rich color, professional finish that makes neighbors stop and take notice.
Most importantly, you get peace of mind. Family-safe, eco-friendly products that won’t harm your kids or pets. A painter who shows up when promised, communicates clearly, and treats your home with the same care we’d want for our own.
Clarita’s Cleaning has been serving Silver Lake and surrounding Massachusetts communities for over a decade. This family-run business built its reputation on one simple principle: do the job right the first time, every time.
We understand what Massachusetts homeowners face. Harsh winters, humid summers, and everything in between. That’s why we use only weather-resistant finishes designed specifically for New England’s challenging climate.
What sets us apart is our commitment to using eco-friendly, non-toxic products. In a state where families prioritize health and environmental responsibility, this isn’t just a nice feature – it’s essential. Your children and pets stay safe while your home gets the professional treatment it deserves.
First, you get a free estimate. No hidden costs, no pressure tactics, just a clear breakdown of what your project involves and what it costs.
Next comes the prep work. This is where most painters cut corners, but it’s where quality is actually made. Surfaces get properly cleaned, sanded, and primed. Everything that shouldn’t get paint gets protected.
Then the actual painting begins. Multiple coats when needed, attention to detail that extends to trim, edges, and corners. The kind of thoroughness that means you won’t find missed spots after we leave.
Finally, cleanup. Your home gets left spotless, not covered in paint dust and drop cloths. You get to enjoy your newly painted space immediately, not spend the weekend cleaning up after your painter.

You get comprehensive residential painting services designed specifically for Massachusetts homes. Interior painting covers every room, from living spaces to bedrooms, kitchens to bathrooms. Exterior painting includes siding, trim, doors, and windows – everything that needs protection from New England weather.
Our service includes proper surface preparation, premium paint application, and detailed finish work. In Silver Lake’s climate, where coastal moisture and temperature swings can damage inferior paint jobs, this level of thoroughness isn’t optional.
Color consultation helps you choose finishes that complement your home’s style and neighborhood character. Whether you’re updating a classic Colonial or refreshing a contemporary design, you get expert guidance on colors and finishes that work.
All work comes with the flexibility Massachusetts homeowners need. Scheduling that works around your life, clear communication throughout the project, and the reliability that comes from a decade of local experience.
Quality exterior paint should last 7-10 years in Massachusetts, but this depends entirely on preparation and paint quality. Many homeowners get disappointed with paint that starts peeling after 2-3 years because corners were cut during prep work.
Proper surface preparation is everything. This means cleaning, sanding, priming, and using paint specifically designed for New England’s freeze-thaw cycles and coastal moisture. When done right with premium materials, you shouldn’t need to repaint for nearly a decade.
The key is using painters who understand Massachusetts climate challenges. Cheap paint and rushed prep work might save money upfront, but you’ll pay for it when you’re repainting years earlier than necessary.
Eco-friendly paints contain significantly lower levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which means less harmful fumes and better indoor air quality. This matters especially if you have children, pets, or family members with respiratory sensitivities.
Traditional paints can off-gas harmful chemicals for months after application. Low-VOC and zero-VOC paints eliminate most of these concerns while still providing excellent coverage and durability. The performance difference is minimal, but the health benefits are substantial.
For Massachusetts families who prioritize health and environmental responsibility, eco-friendly paint isn’t just a preference – it’s essential. You get the same professional results without compromising your family’s wellbeing or contributing to indoor air pollution.
Interior painting in Massachusetts typically runs $3,000-$9,000 for a full home, or $2-$6 per square foot. But this varies significantly based on your home’s condition, paint quality, and how much prep work is needed.
Rooms needing extensive prep work – patching holes, fixing cracks, or covering dark colors – cost more. High ceilings, intricate trim work, and premium paint finishes also increase the price. Most reputable painters charge $40-$70 per hour for labor.
The key is getting detailed estimates that break down labor, materials, and prep work. Avoid painters who give vague quotes or seem reluctant to explain their pricing. Transparent pricing protects you from surprises and ensures you’re comparing apples to apples between contractors.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for exterior painting in Massachusetts. You want temperatures consistently above 50°F with low humidity and minimal rain forecasts. May through September typically provides the most reliable painting weather.
Avoid painting during Massachusetts winters or during the humid summer months when thunderstorms are frequent. Paint needs proper curing time, and moisture or temperature extremes can ruin the finish before it fully sets.
Many homeowners schedule exterior painting for late spring or early fall when temperatures are moderate and rain is less frequent. This timing also allows the paint to cure properly before harsh winter weather arrives, ensuring maximum durability and longevity.
We typically handle furniture moving as part of our service. We move furniture to the center of rooms and cover everything with protective plastic. Heavy items like entertainment centers usually stay put with careful masking around them.
You should remove valuable items, artwork, and personal belongings from rooms being painted. Small furniture and decorative items are easier for you to relocate than for us to work around. This also prevents accidental damage to items that matter to you.
Clear communication about furniture handling prevents misunderstandings. We include basic furniture moving in our standard service. We’ll clarify this during your estimate to avoid surprises on painting day.
Start with your home’s existing elements that won’t change – flooring, countertops, furniture, and architectural features. Your paint colors should complement these permanent elements rather than fight against them. Consider your home’s style and neighborhood character as well.
Test paint colors in different lighting conditions before committing. Paint large swatches on different walls and observe them throughout the day. Colors look dramatically different in morning light versus evening light, and what looks perfect in the store might not work in your specific space.
Professional color consultation can save you from expensive mistakes. We understand how colors work in Massachusetts homes and can suggest combinations that enhance your space while maintaining good resale value. This guidance is especially valuable for exterior colors that need to complement your neighborhood’s aesthetic.
