Worcester's Triple-Deckers & Central MA Homes — Painted Right

The Problem

Worcester has more triple-deckers per capita than almost any city in America. These 3-story wood-frame buildings take enormous punishment from wind, rain, and ice. Cheap paint jobs peel within two winters. Landlords waste money repainting constantly, and tenants complain about curb appeal.

Our Solution

We use a 3-coat system specifically designed for multi-family wood siding: oil-based primer to penetrate old wood, followed by two coats of 100% acrylic exterior paint rated for 15+ years. We fully scrape, sand, and caulk every surface — the prep that most Worcester painters skip.

The Problem

Central MA gets hit harder by winter than the coast — colder temps, more ice, longer freeze-thaw cycles. Spencer, Rutland, Princeton, and Westminster sit at higher elevations where paint failure from moisture penetration is the #1 homeowner complaint.

Our Solution

We apply moisture-barrier primers and use paints with high-flexibility formulas that expand and contract with Central MA's temperature swings (often 100°F+ range annually). We also identify and fix moisture sources — ice dam damage, missing flashing, failed caulking — before painting.

The Problem

Clinton, Millbury, Leicester, and Oxford have dense neighborhoods of worker housing built in the 1890s-1940s. These homes often have 10-15 layers of old paint, including lead. Scraping without containment is illegal and dangerous. Many painters refuse these jobs.

Our Solution

We're EPA RRP certified for lead paint work. We use infrared paint removers, chemical strippers, and HEPA containment systems to safely remove failed paint layers. Every lead job includes proper cleanup verification and documentation — protecting your family and keeping you legal.

The Problem

Worcester is a major rental market — landlords in Main South, Grafton Hill, and Green Island need fast apartment turnarounds between tenants. Most painters either charge premium prices or do sloppy work. Landlords need quality at a fair price, done fast.

Our Solution

We offer landlord packages: walls, ceilings, trim, and doors repainted in 1-2 days per unit. We use durable, washable Sherwin-Williams ProMar 200 that holds up to tenant wear. Volume pricing for multi-unit buildings. We understand the Worcester rental cycle.
