Painting and Home Services in Braintree since 1998.

Maintenance of Homes in Braintree

Braintree has a variety of architectural styles that can be seen in its historic neighborhoods. Many homes from the 19th century are still well-maintained, and several early 20th-century homes have become Braintree landmarks.

Braintree homes come in many styles, and all need painting and maintenance. Most were built between the late 19th and early/mid 20th century, with styles ranging from antique Colonial and Federal-style, farmhouses from Braintree’s agrarian days, Victorians near Dearing Park, and many split-level or ranch style homes built after WWII.

We have been working in Braintree for more than 20 years and have the experience to recommend the right solutions to maintain your Braintree home, regardless of age or style.

If you live in a date-boarded or antique Braintree home, we can work with the Braintree Historical Society to match authentic paint color to your home.  If you see paint colors of antique homes you like around town, snap a photo, and we’ll match that for your exterior.

Carpentry on Braintree Homes

Even Braintree’s brick homes likely have some wood trim or windows that may have deteriorated over time. We recommend keeping the wood well-maintained and replacing rotted areas with either wood or PVC.  PVC offers more longevity than wood, but is a bit more expensive.

Aluminum or Vinyl Siding Painting

Some homes in Braintree are covered in aluminum or vinyl siding, which may be fading or chalking. CertaPro Painters can recommend paint coatings that work well with aluminum and vinyl.

Since the moisture of aluminum and vinyl is more stable than wood, the paint finish holds up much longer when painted. This is a great and cost-effective option if your siding looks tired and weary.  To learn if your siding needs to be painted, take our 20-second quiz.

Lead Paint is an issue for older Braintree Homes.

Many of the houses in Braintree were built before 1978, and many still contain lead paint. If this is the case, we will schedule only professional EPA RRP lead certified painters to prepare and paint your older home safely. Once the home is safely prepared, modern acrylic bonding primers give  great adhesion of finish coats.  Massachusetts law requires only lead-certified painters work on homes that might contain lead.

We have a separate Commercial Painting Division for Braintree businesses, property managers and multi-family communities:

Braintree businesses, offices, churches, retail spaces, restaurants, condominium communities, property managers, and facility managers have been working with CertaPro since 1998.

And if your Braintree business needs to stay open during the painting we’re doing, we can schedule the painting or work to be done at night or on the weekends at no extra charge.

Our commercial department also does a great job of matching the type of paint coating to your property’s needs.  For example, we’ll specify scuff-resistant paint for high-traffic areas (like Pickleball Courts) and germ-resistant paint for medical and school settings.

To schedule a commercial painting quote or to ask us questions about your commercial project, call or text Frank Falcone at 781-422-1018.

Good preparation – the key to a great paint job for your Braintree home

Great surface preparation is key to a great paint job.

Which exterior paint is best for Braintree houses?

The type of paint you choose makes a big difference, especially in Braintree, where harsh winters and hot summers can take their toll on your exterior.

For exterior trim paint, we often recommend Sherwin Williams Resilience and Benjamin Moore Arborcoat solid stain for homes in Braintree, but we will tailor our products to your specific needs when quoting your project.

The difference in paint brands and the grades of paint is significant.

Braintree porches and decks – our specialty!

Many Braintree houses have decks and porches that require regular maintenance. Because your deck’s floorboards will hold puddled water and may be in direct sun, your horizontal floors need to be maintained every two years to protect them.
