Our owner Jafet lives in Marlborough, and many of our crew members are local residents. When you hire us, you're supporting a local business that's invested in keeping Marlborough beautiful.

Absolutely, and we love working on Marlborough's historic properties! We have extensive experience with homes dating back to the 1800s, understanding the special techniques needed for older woodwork, proper lead paint protocols (we're EPA Lead-Safe Certified), period-appropriate color selections, and restoration of historic architectural details. We treat these homes with the respect they deserve.

Being based in Marlborough means we can often start within days, not weeks. For Marlborough residents, we offer same-day estimates and priority scheduling. During our peak season (May-September), we recommend booking 2-3 weeks in advance, but we always try to accommodate urgent requests for our hometown neighbors.

We exclusively use premium paints from Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams that are specifically formulated for New England's extreme weather conditions. For exteriors, we typically recommend Benjamin Moore Aura or Sherwin-Williams Duration for their superior durability against Massachusetts winters. For interiors, we use low-VOC and zero-VOC options that are safe for your family.

Yes! We provide free, detailed written estimates for all Marlborough projects. Being local, we can usually schedule your estimate within 24-48 hours. Our estimates include a complete scope of work, materials specifications, timeline, and transparent pricing with no hidden fees. We believe in upfront honesty – the price we quote is the price you pay.

We've been painting in Massachusetts for years and know exactly how to work with our challenging climate. We only paint exteriors when temperatures are between 50-85°F with low humidity and no rain in the forecast. We use paints specifically formulated for temperature extremes, apply proper primers for moisture protection, and ensure adequate dry time between coats. Our scheduling accounts for weather, and we'll proactively communicate any weather-related adjustments.

We stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties: 5 years on exterior painting and 3 years on interior painting. Our warranty covers peeling, blistering, flaking, and fading under normal conditions. Because we're local, warranty service is easy – just call us and we'll be there promptly to address any concerns. We've built our reputation on quality work that lasts, and we protect that reputation with strong warranties.

Absolutely! We offer professional color matching using spectrophotometer technology to perfectly match existing colors. We also provide complimentary color consultation services to help you choose new colors that complement your home's architecture, your neighborhood's aesthetic, and current design trends. We can show you how colors will look in different lighting conditions and bring large samples to your home before you commit.

Pro Tip for Marlborough Homeowners

Pro tip for Marlborough homeowners: The best time to paint exterior surfaces is late spring through early fall when temperatures are consistently above 50°F. We recommend scheduling your exterior project by March or April to secure prime dates before our schedule fills up. For interior projects, winter is actually ideal – lower humidity means faster drying times and we often have more scheduling flexibility.
