Most importantly, you’ll have peace of mind knowing the job was done right the first time. No callbacks, no touch-ups, no regrets.
Clarita’s Cleaning has served Watertown families for over a decade with painting services that actually last. We’re the family-owned business that understands Watertown’s unique mix of historic homes and modern builds.
From Victorian details in Coolidge Square to ranch homes in East Watertown, we’ve painted them all. Our reputation comes from doing what others won’t: thorough prep work, quality materials, and the kind of cleanup that leaves your home better than we found it.
Local homeowners choose us because we show up when promised, use family-safe products, and stand behind our work with a satisfaction guarantee.
First, we provide a free estimate with transparent pricing. No hidden fees, no pressure tactics, just honest assessment of what your project needs.
Next comes the prep work that separates good painters from great ones. We protect your furniture, repair surface imperfections, and prime properly. This step determines whether your paint lasts 3 years or 20.
Then we apply premium, eco-friendly paint in thin, even coats. Each layer cures completely before the next goes on. Finally, we clean everything thoroughly and walk through the completed work with you.
You get professional results without the typical painting headaches.

Whether you need interior rooms refreshed or exterior surfaces protected, Clarita’s Cleaning handles residential and commercial painting projects throughout Watertown.
Our interior painting transforms living spaces with colors that complement your lifestyle. We work carefully around your schedule and belongings, using low-odor, family-safe products that won’t disrupt your daily routine.
For exterior painting, we understand Watertown’s weather challenges. Coastal humidity, winter freeze-thaw cycles, and summer heat all demand specific paint formulations and application techniques. We use weather-resistant products designed for New England’s climate, ensuring your home’s exterior looks great for years while protecting against moisture damage.
Historic home owners especially appreciate our experience with detailed millwork, original window frames, and architectural features that require special attention.
Most interior painting projects in Watertown take 2-4 days, depending on room size and prep work needed. A typical 12×12 room with standard prep takes about one full day.
However, older Watertown homes often require additional prep time for surface repairs, primer application, or working around detailed trim work. Historic homes with original plaster walls or intricate moldings may need extra attention.
We always provide realistic timelines during the estimate process and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Rush jobs are available for time-sensitive situations, though proper prep work is never compromised.
Watertown’s location near Boston creates unique weather challenges that demand high-quality, weather-resistant paints. We primarily use Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams products formulated for New England’s climate extremes.
For exteriors, we recommend 100% acrylic latex paints that expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking. These paints also resist moisture penetration, which is crucial given Watertown’s humidity levels and occasional flooding in low-lying areas.
Interior projects benefit from low-VOC or zero-VOC paints that maintain air quality while providing excellent coverage and durability. These eco-friendly options are especially important for families with children, pets, or respiratory sensitivities.
Yes, we follow all EPA RRP (Renovation, Repair, and Painting) guidelines for lead-safe work practices. Many Watertown homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, especially in the historic neighborhoods.
Our process includes proper containment, specialized equipment, and certified disposal of lead-contaminated materials. Workers use appropriate protective equipment and follow strict protocols to prevent lead dust contamination.
We’re experienced with the permitting requirements in Massachusetts and can guide you through any necessary notifications to local authorities. This expertise is particularly valuable for homeowners in Watertown’s historic districts where additional regulations may apply.
Protecting your property is a standard part of our exterior painting process. We use heavy-duty drop cloths, plastic sheeting, and protective coverings for plants, walkways, and outdoor furniture.
Delicate plantings receive special attention with breathable covers that allow air circulation while blocking paint overspray. We also schedule work to avoid windy days that could spread paint particles beyond the work area.
All equipment is positioned carefully to prevent damage to lawns, gardens, and hardscaping. After completion, we remove all protective materials and clean any accidental overspray from windows, fixtures, or outdoor surfaces.
Our free estimates include a detailed breakdown of labor, materials, and timeline for your specific project. We measure all surfaces, assess prep work requirements, and discuss color and finish options.
The estimate covers surface preparation, primer application where needed, paint application, and complete cleanup. We also note any repairs needed before painting and provide separate pricing for those services.
You’ll receive information about paint brands, coverage expectations, and warranty details. Most importantly, the estimate includes everything needed to complete the job properly – no hidden fees or surprise charges later.
Yes, we provide professional color matching services for touch-ups or room additions. Using spectrophotometer technology, we can match virtually any existing color, even if you don’t have the original paint information.
This service is especially valuable in historic Watertown homes where original colors may have been custom mixed or are no longer available from manufacturers. We can recreate period-appropriate colors for restoration projects.
We also offer color consultation services to help you select complementary colors for adjacent rooms or exterior trim. Our experience with Watertown’s architectural styles helps ensure color choices enhance your home’s character and neighborhood appeal.
