Painters in Lynn, MA
Interior and exterior painting with the prep work that makes it last.
Paint is the most visible thing a contractor does, and the least forgiving. Every patch, every uneven edge and every missed spot shows, especially in the raking light that comes through many older Lynn windows.
Homes here tend to be older wood-frame houses with plaster walls and layers of previous paint. That makes prep the biggest part of the job: scraping, patching, sanding and priming before any finish paint goes on.
We paint the inside and outside of homes, and because we do carpentry and drywall repair as well, damaged surfaces are fixed before they are painted, not covered up.

Whether it is inside or out, the approach is the same: prepare the surface properly and paint it carefully.
How we approach painting
We spend as much time on prep as on paint. Patching, sanding, caulking and priming are what make a finish last.
For homes built before 1978, we use lead-safe practices. Let us know how old your house is when you call.
- Real prep: scrape, patch, sand, prime
- Clean edges and protected floors and furniture
- Repairs to wood and drywall before painting
- Lead-safe practices for pre-1978 homes
We paint homes in Lynn and nearby communities, including Lynn, MA and Peabody, MA.
Painting FAQs
Should I paint the inside or the outside first?
If you are doing both, start with the exterior when weather allows, since it is the more time-sensitive job and protects the house. Interior painting can be done in any season and is a good winter project.
How long does a paint job last?
It depends on prep, paint quality and exposure. Interior walls can last many years between coats. Exterior paint on a sunny, weather-exposed wall wears faster than paint on a protected one, and good prep is the biggest factor either way.
What does painting cost in an older home versus a newer one?
Older homes usually need more prep: plaster repair, multiple layers of paint to scrape, and sometimes lead-safe work for homes built before 1978. The paint itself is a small part of the cost compared with the labor to prepare the surface.
Can you match a paint color I already have?
Yes, in most cases. A paint store can scan a sample and mix a close match. Old paint fades, so a fresh match can look slightly different on the wall than it did on the sample.
Do you provide the paint?
We can, and we can help you choose a color and finish. If you already have a favorite paint, we can work with that too. We agree on this before the job begins.
