What Are The Benefits of Using Professional House Painters?
When you paint the outside of your home yourself, you risk making mistakes. While a quality paint job increases your home’s curb appeal, a bad one does the opposite. You get these benefits when you hire professional exterior painters:
Professional Results
A professional paint job adds value to your home and lasts longer than an amateur paint job. Professionals also save you time and money.
Color Advise
With so many exterior house paint colors, it can be hard to pick one. We have experience with painting all types of Massachusetts residences, and we can advise you on the best color and paint type for your budget.
Safety
Painting involves high surfaces and specialized equipment. Our team has the proper training and certifications for exterior painting services. We have everything we need to prevent damage and disruption.
Exterior Painters Who Emphasizes Preparation for a Magnificent Finish
Prep work comes first in a quality painting project. Before we apply paint to your exterior surface, we:
- Clean the surface with power washing and scraping
- Check to see if the area needs sanding or patching
- Inspect the surface for rot, mold, or other issues
Our thorough process ensures beautiful and lasting results. We inspect the work area first, which may uncover hidden problems. In professional exterior painting services, we know that a solid start is the key to a fantastic finish.
When we complete the job, we check for flakes, debris, and chips. We also clean up the area and leave it the way we found it.
Exterior painting preparation helps everything go smoothly. We plan well and keep you informed so that you can have peace of mind.
What Makes Us Different?

Quick Service
We show up on time and finish ahead of schedule regularly.
Friendly Team
Our crew is pleasant and easy to talk to on the job site.
House Painting Tips
No matter the size of your house, painting it is a big undertaking. These exterior house painting tips will help you get the best result:
- Buy quality tools. While you want to save money, you don’t want a cheap-looking home. Invest in a few synthetic-bristle brushes with different edges. You should also buy a heavy-duty roller, paint cans, and a bucket.
- Watch the weather. If you paint in direct sunlight, the heat will dry your paint too fast. You also don’t want to paint when you have a risk of high winds or rain. Check the paint label to see the recommended environment.
- Check for lead. If you have an old home or building, you may want to get a lead test kit to avoid exposing yourself or others to lead paint.
- Clean the exterior. Dirt and grime will ruin your fresh paint. Use a cleaner that works on mildew or hire a professional power washer.
When you hire us for exterior painting services, we’ll take care of all of these items for you.
How to Choose Exterior House Paint Colors
Your interior colors typically reflect your style. With the outside of your home, you also have to keep in mind:
- Durability
- The colors of your patio or other accents
- Trim color
- Neighborhood
- Climate
When choosing exterior house paint colors, plan to invest in a premium brand that resists stains and weather. If you have brick or stone near your home, try picking one of their underlying tones. You can choose an opposing color instead of a complementary one—for example, a warm color to contrast with a cooler tone.
Try using an online tool that will recommend coordinating or matching colors. These tools help you visualize the finished look with different color combos.
Finally, buy several test paints. Make sure you test colors on different sides of your home to see them in various lightings. Once you see the colors on your home, you can make a better judgment on which one looks best.
Talk to an Expert
We understand that sometimes you just want to talk before scheduling a consultation. Our team will gladly answer any of your questions or help you with any of your concerns.

Wareham ( WAIR-ham) is a town in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, United States. As of the 2020 census, the town had a population of 23,303.
History
Wareham was first settled in 1678 by Europeans as part of the towns of Plymouth and Rochester. It was officially incorporated in 1739 and named after the town of Wareham in England. Because of its geography, Wareham’s early industry revolved around shipbuilding and the related industries. It also served as a resort town, with many smaller resorts scattered around the town, especially in Onset. Like Sandwich, its waterways, especially Buttermilk Bay, were considered as possible pathways for the Cape Cod Canal. Although the canal proper goes through Bourne and Sandwich, the southern approach to Buzzards Bay passes just south of the peninsulas that make up the topography of the town.
Wareham is home of the Tremont Nail Factory, the oldest nail manufacturer in the United States. The factory was established in 1819.
For years the town was known by its slogan “Gateway to Cape Cod,” but in January 2020 adopted a new slogan: “It’s Better Before the Bridges.” The intent was to draw attention to the appeal of Wareham as a tourist destination itself, rather than as a conduit to somewhere else.
Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 46.3 square miles (120 km), of which 35.8 square miles (93 km2) is land and 10.5 square miles (27 km) is water. The total area is 22.64% water. Wareham is bordered by Marion to the southwest, Buzzards Bay to the southeast, Rochester to the west, Middleborough to the northwest, Carver and Plymouth to the north, and Bourne to the east. The town’s localities are numerous, the most important being East Wareham, Onset, Point Independence, Wareham Center, and West Wareham. The town is just west of Cape Cod, and is 18 miles (29 km) east of New Bedford, approximately 45 miles (72 km) east of Providence, Rhode Island and 55 miles (89 km) south-southeast of Boston.
Wareham is the innermost town on the north shore of Buzzards Bay. The Weweantic River empties in the southwest corner of town, with the Sippican River and other brooks emptying into it. The Wareham River, which is formed at the confluence of the Wankinco and Agawam rivers, flows into the harbor east of the Weweantic, and has brooks and the Mill Pond River as tributaries. To the east lie Onset Bay and Buttermilk Bay, both of which empty into the head of the bay, at the right-of-way of the Cape Cod Canal. Between these rivers and bays lie several points and necks, including Cromesett Point, Swift’s Neck, Long Beach Point, Indian Neck, Stony Point, Cedar Island Point, Codman’s Point, Sias Point and Whittemore’s Point. The southern boundary of Myles Standish State Forest is concurrent with the town line between Wareham and Plymouth.
The town of Wareham encompasses a number of neighborhoods and named places, including Onset, Wareham Center, West Wareham, East Wareham, and Weweantic.
There are a number of ponds and lakes in Wareham, including Blackmore Pond, Horseshoe Pond, and Mill Pond.

Rail
