Where we work
The work

One crew for the whole house — and the whole building.

Residential and commercial, interior and exterior. Every job starts with a free consultation and an honest scope, so you know exactly what you're getting before we open a can.

Residential

Interior

Interior Painting

An experienced interior crew for walls, ceilings, trim and cabinetry — clean lines, minimal dust, and rooms put back the way we found them.

Exterior

Exterior Painting

We transform the outside of your home on time and within budget — properly scraped, primed and finished to stand up to New England weather.

Drywall

Drywall

A full-service drywall contractor — small repairs to large remodels and new construction, residential or commercial, finished ready to paint.

Commercial

Retail

Retail & Office

Interior and exterior painting for storefronts and workspaces, scheduled around your hours so business keeps moving.

Exterior

Commercial Exterior

Durable exterior finishes for commercial buildings — surfaces prepped to last, not just to look good on day one.

Coatings

Floor Coatings

High-quality commercial, industrial and warehouse floor painting and coating built for heavy traffic.

Specialty

Restoration

Historic Restoration

Careful, period-correct restoration for older New England homes — the kind of detail work that rewards patience and preparation.

Ceilings

Ceilings & Trim

Crisp ceilings and sharp trim lines cut in by hand — the finish details that make a whole room read clean.

Prep

Prep & Repair

Scraping, sanding, patching, caulking and priming. The part nobody sees is the part that makes the paint last.

Our craft

Do NOT spray.

“A roll of plastic tape and a spray gun is not preparation.”

It's the line this shop was built on. A sprayer is fast; a hand-prepped, hand-rolled finish is what still looks right in ten years. So we take the long way — every time.
