Newton Exterior

Project Description:

The paint on this single-family home in Newton was peeling very badly. It also had accumulated lots of dirt and mildew due to being located in a high moisture location. We were able to remove the majority of peeling paint in trouble areas by washing the house and prepping thoroughly. We primed everything with oil based primer and finished with a strong latex top coat to ensure years of durability. The final results are evident that we were able to restore the fantastic curb appeal of this classic Newton home.

Needham, MA Exterior Painting Project

Project Description:

This projected involved installing new aluminum siding and painting. We had to power wash the entire house to remove dirt and mildew that had built up before scrubbing the siding thoroughly to make sure the surface was not chalky and ready for painting. Carpentry was performed to repair the front entrance way including rebuilding one of the rotten post bases. We painted the entire house, including body and trim, with Sherwin-Williams Resilience latex paint for superior moisture resistance.

Arlington Exterior

Project Description:

This multi-family home in Arlington had aluminum siding that was in great shape but heavily soiled from years of dirt and soot accumulation due to being on a busy main street. After a thorough power wash of the whole house including some hand scrubbing of the soffits, we were able to clean the siding and restore its shine. In addition, we also painted the trim and restored the entrance way by stripping down layers of previous paint in order to achieve a smooth, like-new finish.

West Roxbury Exterior Painting Project

Project Description:

This house was in a very bad shape when Smart Coats undertook this lead paint project. The project was financed through the Boston Home Renovation program. EPA lead paint protection was set up to collect paint chips. We scraped, power washed, and made sure the siding was dry before we applied a full coat of alkyd primer and 2 coats of finish. We used Sherwin Williams alkyd primer and Super latex paint. The house came out beautiful and retained its character.

Jamaica Plain, MA Residential Repaint

Project Description:

This beautiful, historic home built in 1885 was peeling very badly. This was a challenging RRP project but we were able to successfully restore it. We were able to salvage the existing shingles and we only had to replace a small portion of trim that was damaged too badly to repair. We used Benjamin Moore(r) Fresh Start Alkyd Primer and Regal Select High Build Paint for this project. This is a powerful combination of products offering excellent longevity and protection. The final color palate is a 4-color scheme with accent colors around the window frames and soffits with an extra accent color on the front step balusters.
