CertaPro Painters helps you choose great exterior colors and professionally prepares your home to be painted for lasting results. And because wood rot is so common in the Boston-area, we have carpenters on staff to repair your rotted wood before we paint. If you have questions about house painting projects, give us a call or take a look at our frequently asked questions page.
1 Wash
We powerwash or handwash your home’s exterior to remove dirt, mildew and salt that’s commonly found on Boston-area homes.
2 Prep
Loose paint is scraped and glossy areas are scuffed. We caulk all gaps to prevent water from intruding your home.
3 Paint
We prime over repaired areas before a premium paint is applied to your home’s exterior.
4 Clean
Our crew cleans up every day around your home and does a thorough clean up at the end of the project.
5 Inspect
After we inspect your project, we invite you to walk around to provide your feedback to us. All touch-ups are addressed during this stage.

Brick Painting and Staining
We paint and stain exterior or interior brick surfaces. The decision to paint your brick is not easily reversible, so we'll help you decide if painting over your brick is the right decision for you. Most often, painting brick makes homes look & feel less "industrial" and more, well, like a home.

Carpentry & Wood Repair
With so much wood on exteriors in our area, about 60% of our painting projects start with wood repair. No need to coordinate an outside carpenter to repair rotted wood, clapboards, trim, deck boards, & replace shingles. We can also add polish to your interior with wainscot, dental & crown molding, baseboard & door casings.

Vinyl and Aluminum Siding Painting
CertaPro Painters’ painting teams use products designed to adhere to aluminum and vinyl. Since the surface of aluminum and vinyl is more stable than wood, the paint finish holds up well when painted. This is a great and cost-effective option if your vinyl or aluminium siding is chalking or faded.

Residential Exterior Painting FAQs
How soon can you paint my home’s exterior?
Generally, it is first-come, first-served, BUT we understand things come up and painting needs to be done on a strict timeline. As long as weather cooperates and your home is not wet or the temperatures are an average of 50 degrees (generally mid-April through October), we can work with your deadlines. If you don’t have a strict deadline, usually we are able to paint for you within 2-4 weeks of receiving your deposit. We update this page weekly to give you an idea of our current painting timeframes.
How much will it cost to paint my home’s exterior?
Here’s our exterior pricing guide. Find a house that looks like yours in style and size and you’ll have a ballpark of our prices.
How long will it take to paint my home’s exterior?
Below is a common schedule for exterior painting – but a lot depends on the weather and the size of the project:
Day 1: Powerwash and let dry.
Day 1: Carpentry and rotted wood replacement.
Day 2: Prepare surfaces by sanding and color approval.
Days 3-5: Priming and painting.
Day 5: Final inspection and touch ups.

How quickly can an estimator meet with me?
The waiting time for an estimate is typically a few days. If you don’t see a time on our online schedule that works for you, just email Paige at [email protected] and she’ll make sure to get you an appointment at a time that works for you.
Can paint the exterior of my home in the winter?
In the Boston area, your home’s exterior cannot be painted in the winter.
The winter season in the Northeast lasts from mid-November until about April. During these colder months, temperatures below 35 degrees prevent us from painting outdoors. We can start your project in colder weather by power washing and replacing rotted wood before we paint, but the painting must occur when it is consistently above 50 degrees.
