Arlington, MA

House Painters in Arlington, MA

Arlington borders Somerville to the northwest and is mostly single-family homes: Colonials, Victorians, bungalows and Capes, with more two-families in East Arlington.

It’s also leafy. Big trees are part of why people love living here, and they matter to a painter, because shaded siding stays damp longer and grows mildew faster.

Homes in Arlington and what they need

Arlington’s housing is largely single-family: Colonials, Victorians, Craftsman-style bungalows and Capes, with two-families concentrated in East Arlington and larger lots up in the Heights. Many homes have been renovated in stages, so an original room can sit next to a brand-new addition.

Outside work in Arlington

On tree-shaded lots, the north and shaded sides of a house often show mildew and slower drying. That makes the washing step more important, and it means we watch the weather closely so siding is truly dry before primer goes on.

Painting in Arlington: FAQ

My siding has green mildew on the shady side. Can you still paint?

Yes. Washing the house is the first step of every exterior job and treats the mildew. Then we let the siding dry fully before priming and painting.

Do you paint additions to match the original house?

Yes. We can match the existing color, or repaint old and new together so the whole house reads as one.

Is Arlington in your regular service area?

Yes. It borders Somerville, so it’s one of the closest towns we serve.
