Interior & Exterior Painting services in Cambridge
Cambridge has some of the oldest houses in the Boston area, with large Victorians and colonial-era homes around Brattle Street, tight rows of workers' cottages and triple-deckers in Cambridgeport and East Cambridge, and brick apartment buildings near the squares. Wood clapboard and wood shingles are the usual walls, with a lot of detailed trim: brackets, dentils, turned porch posts and tall window casings. That trim is where the hours go on an exterior here. Inside, most older homes have plaster walls and ceilings, which crack along the same lines every few winters and need proper repair before paint. Many houses are split into condos, so exterior work is often decided by an association. Cold, damp winters and humid summers are hard on paint, and old layers may contain lead. We paint homes, condos and small commercial spaces across Cambridge.

HOA and local rules
Painting itself does not need a building permit under the Massachusetts building code. Cambridge has historic districts and neighborhood conservation districts, so if your property is in one, ask the Cambridge Historical Commission whether your exterior work needs review before you start.
