Residential & Commercial
Painting in Marshfield.

Suggestions for painting your Marshfield home:

Rotted trim, shingles and clapboards are understandably common on Marshfield homes. Because our New England winters and salt air don’t play nicely with the wood on Marshfield homes, wood failure is common on Marshfield exteriors. If you see rotting wood boards on your home, replace the wood as soon as possible so you don’t have further or internal damage as the water continues to seep into the wood’s porous fibers. Our carpenters repair rotting wood on about 50% of the homes we paint in Marshfield, so this is a very common issue that we can easily handle with you having to hire a separate carpenter – we are a one-stop company to make it easier for you!

PVC vs. Wood replacement boards – We have carpenters on staff to replace rotted wood on your Marshfield home before we paint. We often replace rotted wood boards with PVC material so the rotting won’t continue to occur. While PVC materials can cost a bit more, knowing you won’t have to replace them again will save you money in the end. It’s also our general practice to only replace the rotted wood boards with PVC, which, when painted, is hard to distinguish from the existing wood on your home. Leaving the non-rotted wood in place while we only repair the rotten wood, can help to lower the overall cost to you. Modern PVC is also available to match many historic molding profiles to maintain your antique home in period style – we can even replace wood gutters with a direct-match PVC solution! If you plan to put your home on the market sooner rather than later, it can be more cost-effective to choose less expensive wood materials to replace your boards.

Salt air and stormy Marshfield winters: Since Marshfield is a coastal town, salt air, and coastal storms present an issue where the climate will affect the longevity of the paint job. With this in mind, we use paints and stains that are specifically designed to help combat the wear and tear on your Marshfield home’s exterior. Marshfield homes need to be painted every 5-7 years to make sure the wood remains preserved.  It can also be a good idea to add a “maintenance coat” of paint or stain every 3-5 years to protect the existing paints and stains on the shingles, clapboards, and trim.

Cedar Shingles – A Staple in Marshfield: Cedar shingles are so popular because they offer durability with a classic New England look. In Marshfield, most homes contain shingles that are often on at least one or more sides of the exteriors. Many Marshfield residents like to let their shingles weather or grey over time – this is a classic look that gets better with age. We also can coat your shingles with a semi-solid or solid stain to protect your cedar shingles from the Marshfield elements and help prevent them from getting gray. Stains are protective as well as beautifying as stains seep into your cedar shingles to protect them.

What’s that black stuff on my shingles? Yes, your cedar shingles are a ripe habitat for mold and mildew. We recommend power-washing them with a mold-killing detergent before coating them with the stain. Of course, if your shingles are on the damp or shady side of your home, the mildew will grow again. As a precaution, we recommend trimming trees so that there is some sun shining on your shingles at least part of the day and the house is allowed to “breathe.”  The more sunlight on your cedar shingles, the better.

Giving Back to the Marshfield Community:

We love the Marshfield community and have donated to many Marshfield community organizations including: Eames School and Martinson Elementary School.  We’ve also cleaned the highway on the Route 3 stretch between the Pembroke and Marshfield exits since 2008.

Marshfield business owners – We have a separate Commercial Painting Department: 

Marshfield businesses, medical offices, religious buildings, restaurants, property managers, shops, and facility managers have worked with CertaPro Painters for years.

And if your Marshfield office needs to remain open while we’re painting, we offer night and weekend work at no extra charge – this way, your business is not disrupted.

Our commercial department gets to know what’s important to your business or community and matches the paint and application to those needs.  For example, we can use scuff-resistant paint in high-traffic areas like lobbies and microbicidal paints that actually kill germs in restrooms and medical offices.

To schedule a commercial painting quote or to ask us questions about your commercial painting or carpentry project, call Dave Rowell at 781-422-1018 or email him at [email protected].
