Your painter in Quincy since 1998!

Quincy is the “City of Presidents” and has been booming with the real estate market lately.  Are people moving to Quincy knowing that it’s the founding home to our beloved Dunkin’ Donuts?  Quincy customers have unique painting needs because of the Boston area’s harsh New England climate.  We’ve been painting in Quincy since 1998, so we use products and methods that can prolong the life of your Quincy exterior – no matter if it’s wood, vinyl, aluminum siding, brick or stucco.

Residential Painting in Quincy

Wow, is Quincy growing!  During the 2021 real estate boom, families seem to be moving to Quincy in droves.  It’s no wonder, Quincy is so convenient to Boston, has a vibrant downtown and has a variety of architectural house styles seen amongst its historic neighborhoods. Many homes from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries have been painted by us over the years including antique Colonials, split level ranch homes, and more modern condominiums in Quincy.

Because of Quincy’s harsh New England climate we recommend certain types of paint over and over again to help protect Quincy’s houses.

Recommended paint and stain products for your Quincy home’s exterior:

For trim, we like Sherwin Williams Resilience and for wood clapboards, we often specify Sherwin Williams Woodscapes solid or semi-solid stain on Quincy exteriors. Quincy homes should be painted every 5-7 years with a maintenance coat applied at year 3 for added protection. Because deck and porch floors tend to be more susceptible to foot traffic abuse, we recommend maintaining your Quincy deck floors every 2 years to keep them protected.

We can also help you choose exterior colors that are historically accurate to the colors of the South Shore of yesteryear.

Carpentry on Quincy Homes

Many Quincy homes have some wood that may have deteriorated over time. We have carpentry teams on staff to repair anything from minor trim (with wood or PVC) to full shingle or clapboard replacement. This means one-stop shopping for both carpentry and painting, which our busy Quincy customers appreciate.

Painting Aluminum and Vinyl Siding on Quincy Homes:

Some Quincy homes are wrapped in aluminum or vinyl siding, which may be fading or chalking. Chalking is a sign that your home needs to be painted and can be tested by simply rubbing your hand along your siding – if chalk appears on your hands, your home needs a coat of paint to stay protected.

Take our 20-second quiz to find out if your Quincy home’s exterior needs painting.

CertaPro Painters’ can apply products designed to adhere nicely to aluminum and vinyl. Since these surfaces are more stable than wood, the paint finish holds up for years. Painting aluminum or vinyl siding is a cost-effective way to give your home a completely new look.

Painting Quincy homes that contain Lead Paint:

Quincy homes built before 1978 may contain lead paint on either the exterior, interior, or both. Our painters are EPA RRP certified to safely prepare and paint your older home.  It is the law in Massachusetts that if a painter paints your home containing lead paint, they must be EPA RRP certified.

Interior Painting inside your Quincy Home:

No matter the style of the home, we can make the inside of your Quincy home look fresh and on-trend. Our free color consultant has experience helping you choose colors that blend with your current furnishings.

Some newer and remodeled Quincy homes have open-floor plans.  This requires a cohesive paint palette – something our designer Kate can work on with you to achieve.  Working with our free, in-home designer is a part of every painting project we do and is worth the few hours to get the paint colors right.

Older Quincy homes have rooms that are nicely delineated by walls and doors and can handle different colors that are cohesive but fit the individual use of the room.  For example, a study with doors can handle a forest green or deep brown wall color, even when the rest of the home is more neutral.

Color consulting in Quincy:

Our designer will work with you at your Quincy home or business to help you choose paint colors.

If you’re worried about what the color will look like on your home, we offer free color renderings of your exterior or interior “painted”in various colors that you’ve chosen so you can see what your home will look like before we even pick up a paintbrush.
