Painting Inside and Out, from Clapboard to Porch Floors

A good paint job is mostly preparation. On every house we scrape loose paint, sand, patch, and prime before the first finish coat, whether it is a shingled cape, a clapboard colonial, or a Victorian with trim in several colors. Indoors we paint rooms and stairways, coat porch and deck floors, and put clear finishes on pine boards so they hold up to daily wear.

This service covers:

  • Exterior repaints on clapboard and shingle siding
  • Multi-color trim and detail work on older homes
  • Deck and porch floor painting
  • Deck staining and varnishing
  • Interior rooms, stairways, and painted floors
  • Clear-coat finishing on wood floors
  • Color consultation before we start

All before & after projects

Shingle-Style Home

Winter Harbor, Maine

Years of salt air had stripped this shingle-style house down to bare, peeling cedar. We scraped, primed, and repainted the shingles in a soft gray-blue with crisp white trim and black shutters.

Greek Revival Church

Peeling columns, pilasters, and entry steps on a Greek Revival church. We prepped and repainted the whole front, from the cornice and bell tower down to the steps and railings.

Farmhouse & Barn

The siding on this connected farmhouse and barn had peeled down to bare wood. We scraped and repainted it in a deep green, with the barn doors, shutters, and trim picked out in red.

Deck Wash & Stain

A large deck with a peeling, worn-out finish. We pressure washed the floor and railings, scraped off the loose old coating once it dried, then applied two coats of stain to the floor, railings, steps, and posts.

Log Home Staining

A new log home went from raw, unfinished logs to a deep, protective stain on every log, corner, and rafter tail.
