Painting to exteriors in the Pinehills community – our specialty!<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n

CertaPro Painters is an approved vendor for the Pinehills community – you may have seen our information on your residents-only website!<\/p>\n

Pinehills wood exteriors should be painted about every 7 years:<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Pinehills homes over 7 years old are likely due for an exterior coat of paint.<\/p>\n

Painting a wood exterior, including cedar shingles, every 7 years is the cadence we recommend in the Plymouth area to account for the harsh New England climate. \u00a0If you’re unsure if your Pinehills exterior needs painting, take our 20-second painting quiz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whether you want to match your existing paint color or choose another exterior color, we can help you through the Pinehils design review process.<\/p>\n

If you’re planning on staying a long time in your home, we recommend painting it with one of the newer, more durable paint formulas.<\/a><\/p>\n

If you’re thinking of choosing a different exterior paint color other than the color you already have, you can work with Kate Rafoth, our designer<\/a>, to choose an exterior paint color that fits right in with your Pinehills neighborhood.<\/p>\n

\"MahoganyPinehill decks and porches:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Decks and porches add to the sense of community at the Pinehills, and wood ones must be maintained regularly to stay protected and beautiful.<\/p>\n

Mahogany is a common deck material in the Pinehills<\/a> that needs to be restained every 1-2 years (we know, we wish it were lower maintenance too).<\/p>\n

If any wood on your wood decks or porches has rotted, our carpenters can replace the boards before we paint or stain your deck.<\/p>\n

One stop for carpentry and painting:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Our clients appreciate that we have carpenters on staff to replace rotted wood trim, clapboards, and decking before we paint<\/a>. \u00a0One call to CertaPro Painters takes care of your carpentry and painting needs.<\/p>\n

Replacing Cedar shingles – a whole side or just a few!<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n

A quick drive through the Pinehills reveals many cedar shingles<\/a> that are buckling and missing. \u00a0Our carpenters can replace just a few or a whole side of cedar shingles.<\/p>\n

If your cedar shingles are in good shape structurally but are black or dark green, this often means you have mold and mildew growth and need CertaPro Painters to powerwash them.<\/p>\n

Rotted wood trim:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Exterior wood trim often rots in places close to the ground and where the trim has been cut or mitered. \u00a0This is because moisture tends to be prevalent in these sensitive areas.<\/p>\n

Our carpenters<\/a> can replace just the rotted boards with PVC trim which won’t rot.<\/p>\n

Once the PVC is painted, it looks just like wood, so we can splice in PVC only where needed and leave the wood in good shape.<\/p>\n

Rotted wood clapboards:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

If you notice a few rotted clapboards on the siding of your home, our carpenters can replace the clapboards before we paint<\/a>. \u00a0Once the side of your home is painted, the new clapboards blend with the old ones seamlessly.<\/p>\n

Replacing deck and porch wood:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Because of rainwater puddling on the floor of your deck and porches, the wood on decks and porches can rot faster than wood on the rest of your home.<\/p>\n

Our carpenters can replace any wood your deck needs, including railings, floorboards, stairs, and banisters.<\/p>\n
