Exterior Painting in Malden, MA
Malden exteriors often mean height and stacked porches: two or three levels of floors, rails and steps on a tall multi-family or Victorian. Those porches take the most weather, so they get the most prep.
How we approach it in Malden
- Porch floors, rails and steps are scraped back, sanded and primed where the old coating has failed.
- Decorative Victorian trim is detailed by hand, not rushed with a sprayer.
- On multi-family buildings, we coordinate with every unit for window and porch access.
The houses here
Malden mixes large Victorian homes, especially in neighborhoods like Edgeworth and Maplewood, with two- and three-family houses throughout the city and newer apartment and condo buildings around Malden Center and the Orange Line stops at Malden Center and Oak Grove.

Exterior Painting in Malden: questions
Do you paint porch floors and steps?
Yes, with a floor-rated coating. They get the heaviest prep because foot traffic and standing water break paint down fastest.
Will tenants need to be home?
Mostly no, but we may need short access to porches or windows. We set those times with you in advance.
When is exterior painting season around Boston?
Roughly late spring through mid-fall. Most exterior paints need dry surfaces and temperatures above their minimum (often around 50°F) through the day and night. Early fall is popular, so it helps to book ahead.
