Painter in Dover, MA
We have been working across MetroWest for years and Dover is part of that. Exteriors, interiors, carpentry and deck work, quoted in writing before anything starts.
What We Do Here
Decks, fences, sheds and barns come with the territory on MetroWest properties, and all of them need refinishing on a two to three year cycle in this climate — considerably shorter than the house itself.
Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor licence #193121, general liability and workers' compensation on every property. We measure on site and send a written, itemised quote — normally inside 24 hours — so you can see what prep, materials and labour each cost rather than one lump number. Verify our licence on Mass.gov before hiring anyone, us included.
The sequence matters as much as the materials. Wash, dry fully, scrape back everything lifting, feather the edges, repair the wood underneath, prime what is bare, then build the finish in full coats.
Photographs before and after go into our records on every job. If something comes up later, there is documentation of what the surfaces looked like when we started.
We prime bare wood the same day it is exposed. Leaving scraped surfaces open overnight in New England humidity undoes the preparation you just paid for.

Questions We Get Asked
Yes. Dover is inside our normal working radius out of Allston, and we take both residential and multi-family work there. Call and we will book a walkthrough.
If it went up before 1978, assume yes until tested. We follow the federal RRP rules and Massachusetts lead law on every pre-1978 property, which changes how we contain and clean the site.
Late spring through October. We need surface temperatures to hold above roughly 50°F overnight for the coating to cure properly, so we schedule around the weather rather than forcing a date.
Massachusetts HIC licence #193121. You can verify it yourself on the state register before hiring us, and you should do that with any contractor.
Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams, chosen per surface. We tell you the exact product and sheen in the written quote rather than leaving it vague.
