Interior Painting in Somerville, MA
Inside Somerville’s older multi-families you’ll often find original plaster walls, deep window casings and layers of old paint, sometimes next to a newly renovated kitchen or bath. Interior work here is about blending old and new so the whole unit looks finished.
How we approach it in Somerville
- Plaster cracks and old patch lines are opened, filled and sanded before paint, so they don’t come back as shadows.
- Narrow stairwells and shared entries are protected so neighbors in the building can come and go.
- Condo units can be scheduled room by room if you’re living there during the work.
The houses here
Somerville is the most densely populated city in New England, and much of its housing stock is wood-frame triple-deckers and two-families from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Lots are tight, houses sit a few feet apart, and many buildings are split into condos with shared exteriors, shared stairwells and more than one owner to coordinate.

Interior Painting in Somerville: questions
Can you paint my condo while other units stay occupied?
Yes. We keep shared stairs and entries clear and protected, carry materials in and out neatly, and keep noise to normal working hours.
My walls are old plaster. Is that a problem?
No, it just needs the right prep. Cracks and loose spots are repaired and primed so the new paint sits on a sound surface.
Do I need to move my furniture before you arrive?
No. Clear small items, valuables and anything fragile off shelves and walls. We move furniture to the middle of the room, cover it, and put it back when we finish.
