Painting in Cambridge
Your local painters in Cambridge
Cambridge has some of the oldest and most detailed wood houses in the area: Victorians and mansard-roof homes in Mid-Cambridge and around Harvard and Porter Squares, workers' cottages in Cambridgeport, and many two-families and condo buildings in North Cambridge and East Cambridge.
Old houses like these usually have many layers of paint on the siding and trim. The work is in the prep: scraping to a sound surface, priming bare wood and replacing the pieces of trim that are too far gone.
Exterior changes on houses in historic districts or under neighborhood conservation rules can need review by the city. We point it out during the estimate so you can check before the job is scheduled.

What we plan for on Cambridge houses
Mansard roofs and dormers
Dormers and mansard trim are hard to reach and easy to skip. We plan the access and paint them like the rest of the house.
Historic and conservation areas
Some exterior changes need review by the city. We flag it early so you can check before we schedule.
Condos in older buildings
Interior repaints with plaster repair, protected common areas and daily cleanup.
