Painting Services in Pembroke.

We love painting in Pembroke!

You’ll see our CertaPro trucks and lawn signs all over Pembroke. We love that Pembroke is so nicely zoned to blend new neighborhoods into the historic feel of the town. After painting hundreds of Pembroke homes in the area, we’ve learned a few things that will help you paint your Pembroke home.

We paint all styles of Pembroke homes:

We’ve painted many styles of homes in Pembroke, from colonials, capes, and ranches, and converted summer cottages to contemporaries and new construction homes. We have the know-how to advise you on paint colors that fit with Pembroke’s historic heritage while still being unique.

Exterior painting of Pembroke Homes

Lots of Pembroke residents in antique homes like to match the original paint color of the home. Even though your antique Pembroke home might be faded, we can work with the Pembroke Historical Society to restore your exterior to its original color. Here are some of the historic colors we paint in Pembroke and all around the South Shore.

Because Pembroke is near the coast, coastal storms often wear away at the paint coatings on your home. This means we use special paint and stain products on Pembroke homes to give Pembroke houses extra protection from the elements. It’s also important to keep your gutters clean and free-flowing so ice dams don’t develop and cause leaks, interior stains, and drywall damage.

Many Pembroke homes are made of wood, and our carpenters often replace rotting wood before we paint. In fact, over 50% of Pembroke homes require some kind of carpentry, shingle & window sill repairs, or trim & clapboard replacement before we even pick up a paintbrush. If you are painting yourself, you never want to paint over rotted wood. Here’s a guide to fixing rotted wood on your home.

Cedar shingles are prevalent in Pembroke and most Pembroke homes have shingles on at least a side or two. Cedar shingles offer a classic New England look, and some of our Pembroke customers like their shingles to be gray and weather. We can also apply a semi-solid or solid stain if you don’t want your shingles to weather over time.

The black on or behind your shingles is likely mold and mildew. We are able to remove the mold using a mold-killing detergent in our power washer. There is no guarantee that mold won’t grow back, so getting sunlight on your shingles is imperative to slow down the growth. This might also mean you have to trim your trees to prevent lots of shade on the shingled sides of your Pembroke home.

Because Pembroke’s proximity to the coast and homes can be affected by harsh weather and the salt air of the nearby Atlantic Ocean, we recommend painting Pembroke homes approximately every 5-7 years. We often apply a maintenance coat of paint every three years in between major paint jobs to help protect your home.

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

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

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

Our commercial department digs in to understand what’s important to your business or the residents in your 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].

How do I know if my Pembroke exterior needs painting?

Lots of Pembroke homes look fine but need a maintenance coat of paint or stain to remain protected from our harsh New England winters. If you’re unsure if you need to paint your exterior, take our 20-second quiz to find out.

Giving Back to the Pembroke Community:

We feel it’s important to give back to the Pembroke community, and since 1998, we have donated to the Pembroke Library, as well as sponsored and cleaned the highway on Route 3 in Pembroke since 2008.

Need a raffle prize or silent auction donation for your Pembroke non-profit?  Just email [email protected] and we’ll respond with a gift certificate you can raffle off or sell.

When can you start my project?

We update this page every week with our latest timeframes.  We’re the only painter in the Boston area that posts their timeframes.  If you need a rush project, we have a rush crew on hand for just those times when you’re having a party or a real estate open house.

Paint recommendations for Pembroke homes

All paint and materials are included in our quotes. We often choose a solid stain (we like Benjamin Moore Arborcoat) for clapboards to provide protection from New England winters to Pembroke homes. Stain penetrates the wood, while paint sits on top of the wood. For exterior trim, we usually specify Sherwin Williams Emerald. It’s important that you use a high quality paint since most of the cost of painting your home is the labor. For interiors we love Sherwin William Duration Home as it stands up to traffic for a long time. As the largest residential painting company on the South Shore, we pass our fantastic pricing onto you.
