Many folks have second homes on the South Shore and Plymouth, Dartmouth, Westport, and Marion areas. <\/span><\/p>\n

Here are the services we offer our out-of-town customers who’d like to have their houses painted but can’t be on-site while the work is happening.<\/span><\/p>\n

We can quote your exterior painting or carpentry project even if you are not there:<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Vacation
We paint dozens of vacation homes in Scituate, Duxbury, Plymouth, Hingham, Dartmouth and Westport, and surrounding towns. \u00a0Many times the owner is not on-site because they live out of state.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you let us know what you’d like painted, we’ll drive to your home, look around and email you a quote.<\/p>\n

If you’d like to be “there” during the quote so we’re all on the same page, we can do a FaceTime or Zoom call while we’re on-site and point out areas we think might need painting or carpentry.<\/p>\n

Once the painting and\/or carpentry project starts, we will:<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Send you photos and videos of the painting’s progress.<\/li>\n
  2. Be in touch to ask you questions or answer your questions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Final billing of your painting or carpentry project:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    We will do a video walk-through to show you our work and allow you to inspect it.<\/p>\n

    After the video walk-through, we’ll send you a final bill for the painting or carpentry work.<\/p>\n

    Touch-ups after you have inspected the project in person:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    If you find areas that need touch-ups missed in the previous steps, we’ll be back to do the touch-ups when you’re finally on site again.<\/p>\n

    We also work with dozens of area property managers and realtors who hire us to paint homes between tenants and rentals.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Frequently asked questions about CertaPro’s services for 2nd homeowners:<\/strong><\/h1>\n

    “Can you paint my rental home between tenants at my Airbnb property?”<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Yes, we can ensure that your interior painting project will be started and finished in the timeframe you give us. This is easy for interior jobs because the weather isn’t a factor in interior painting. For exteriors, this is less exacting because we cannot paint in the rain, so our schedule can get behind due to rainy weather.<\/p>\n

    \n
    \"Kitchen
    Often kitchen cabinets are dark and outdated, and a fresh coat of paint can help amp up the rental appeal of photos and virtual tours on Airbnb and other rental sites<\/strong>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    “What’s the best time to paint my second home’s interior?”<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    January and February are our favorite months to paint interiors. Since the exterior painting season spans from March-November in the Boston area, January and February are when we discount our painting, and our best crews are available.<\/p>\n

    In the past, second homeowners have mailed us a key, but lately, most have given us the codes to enter the home to perform the interior work.<\/p>\n

    \n
    \"Sailboats
    We paint homes in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, and surrounding towns, even if you can’t be on site.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    “What’s the best time to paint my rental home’s exterior?”<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    We can quote the painting for your second home at any time, and we will start painting exteriors in mid-March or Early April.<\/p>\n

    These early spring months are great for 2nd homeowners with beach homes because they are less likely to have tenants during the early Spring.<\/p>\n

    The end of August and early September is another great time to paint your 2nd home – it’s typically dry, and often beach homes are not rented in early September.<\/p>\n

    Remember, though, since we paint interiors year-round and exteriors from March-November, whatever works for your schedule works for us.<\/p>\n
