Hear from Our Customers
You walk into rooms that feel completely transformed. The walls look flawless, the trim is crisp, and there’s no lingering chemical smell that makes you worry about your kids or pets.
Your neighbors notice. Your home value increases. Most importantly, you’re not dealing with peeling paint or touch-ups six months later because the prep work was actually done correctly the first time.
This is what happens when you work with a painter who understands that your home isn’t just another job site.
Clarita’s Cleaning has been serving Somerville homeowners for over a decade. We’re the family-run painting company that treats your Davis Square Victorian or Assembly Row condo with the same care we’d give our own home.
What sets us apart isn’t just our experience. It’s our commitment to using family-safe, eco-friendly products that protect your indoor air quality while delivering results that last.
We understand Somerville’s unique housing stock. From the historic homes in Winter Hill to the modern developments near Assembly Square, we know how different surfaces and architectural styles require different approaches.
First, we walk through your space and actually listen to what you want. We review your specific requests before any work begins, not after we’ve already started painting the wrong color.
Next comes the prep work that most painters skip. Surface cleaning, proper priming, protecting your furniture and floors. The details that separate a paint job that lasts from one that starts failing in six months.
Then we apply the paint using techniques that ensure even coverage and clean lines. No streaks where walls meet ceilings. No missed spots behind furniture. We don’t consider a room finished until you tell us it’s finished.

Interior painting that transforms your living spaces without overwhelming your family with toxic fumes. Exterior painting that protects your home against New England weather while boosting curb appeal throughout Somerville’s diverse neighborhoods.
We handle everything from single rooms to whole house projects. Kitchen cabinet refinishing. Trim and detail work. Even those tricky areas like stairwells and high ceilings that other painters either avoid or charge extra for.
What you get is comprehensive service from a team that understands Somerville homes. Whether you’re in a century-old triple-decker in Spring Hill or a modern townhouse near Tufts, we know how to work with your specific architecture and timeline.
Interior painting in Somerville typically ranges from $5,865 to $10,750 for a full home, depending on size, condition, and paint quality. Single rooms usually cost between $768 to $2,304 based on square footage.
The wide range comes down to prep work needed and paint selection. Homes with damaged walls, multiple colors, or high-end finishes cost more. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying for upfront.
Our pricing reflects the extra time we spend on proper preparation and using eco-friendly products that cost more but deliver better results and healthier indoor air quality.
Eco-friendly paints eliminate the toxic fumes that can trigger headaches, respiratory issues, and long-term health concerns, especially important for families with children, elderly residents, or anyone with sensitivities.
These paints also provide better coverage and durability. You’re not just paying for health benefits – you’re getting paint that often requires fewer coats and lasts longer than conventional alternatives.
For Somerville homes where families spend significant time indoors, especially during harsh New England winters, indoor air quality isn’t a luxury. It’s essential for your family’s health and comfort.
Professional protection starts before any paint cans are opened. All furniture gets covered with plastic sheeting, not just old sheets that paint can seep through. Floors receive proper drop cloths that stay in place throughout the project.
Electrical plate covers are removed to ensure clean paint lines around outlets and switches. Trim elements are carefully taped and caulked. These steps take extra time but prevent the damage and cleanup headaches that come from rushed preparation.
The goal is to complete your painting project without you having to replace or repair anything that wasn’t supposed to be painted. Your home should look better when we’re done, not like a construction zone.
Yes, through color matching technology and careful analysis of your existing paint. However, exact matches can be tricky when the existing paint has faded or when you’re switching between different paint brands or sheens.
The best approach is bringing a sample of the existing color to ensure the new paint matches under your home’s specific lighting conditions. Colors can look different in showrooms versus your actual living spaces.
For touch-ups and repairs, we always test color matches in inconspicuous areas first. This prevents the frustration of completing a project only to discover the new paint doesn’t quite match what’s already on your walls.
Late spring through early fall offers the most consistent weather for exterior painting in Massachusetts. You need temperatures above 50°F and low humidity for paint to cure properly.
Summer can actually be challenging due to extreme heat that causes paint to dry too quickly, leading to brush marks and uneven coverage. Late spring and early fall often provide ideal conditions with moderate temperatures and lower humidity.
Winter interior painting can be more cost-effective since demand is lower, and you’re not competing with homeowners rushing to complete exterior projects before cold weather hits. Plus, you’ll be spending more time indoors anyway.
Quality interior paint jobs should last 7-10 years in most areas, longer in bedrooms and formal spaces that see less wear. High-traffic areas like hallways and kitchens may need refreshing every 5-7 years.
Exterior paint longevity depends heavily on your home’s exposure to weather and sun. South-facing walls typically need repainting every 7-10 years, while protected areas can last 12-15 years with quality paint and proper preparation.
The key factor isn’t just paint quality – it’s surface preparation. Proper cleaning, priming, and repair work before painting can double the lifespan of your paint job compared to painting over poorly prepared surfaces.
