Exterior painting
New England weather is hard on siding, trim and doors. Before any paint goes on, we look at the condition of the surface: peeling and failing paint, soft or split wood, open joints and bare spots. Loose material is scraped and sanded, damaged wood is repaired or replaced, and surfaces are cleaned and primed where they need it.
Proper preparation is the foundation of a quality paint job. We take the time to do it right, helping ensure a smooth, durable finish that lasts.
Interior painting
Our interior painting services focus on clean finishes, attention to detail, and keeping your home protected throughout the project. Furniture and floors are protected, holes and cracks are patched, and walls, ceilings and trim are finished so the room is ready to live in again when we leave.
When repair comes first
Many painting jobs in older homes uncover rot in trim, sills or clapboards. We coordinate carpentry and painting so those repairs can be included in the project and completed before paint is applied.
Common questions
Do you repair rotted wood before painting?
Yes. Damaged trim, clapboards and other exterior wood can be repaired or replaced before painting as part of the same project.
Which towns do you paint in?
We are based in Harvard and regularly work in Concord, Acton, Littleton, Groton, Bolton, Stow, Sudbury and nearby communities.
Can I send photos of my house?
Yes. Describe the project in the estimate form and email photos to thorntonhomeservices1@gmail.com so we can review the work before visiting.
