Common Questions

Questions We Get Asked

Do I need approval before painting in Lexington?

If the property sits in a designated district, exterior changes visible from the street generally require review — and that usually includes colour. We check before quoting so nobody finds out afterwards.

Can you match historically appropriate colours?

Yes. Several manufacturers carry documented historic palettes, and we work to whatever the commission approves rather than around it.

How do you handle original wood sash?

Carefully, and by hand. Old single-glazed sash with putty glazing is closer to glazier's work than production painting, and replacement is often not permitted anyway.

Is access a problem on these streets?

Frequently. Narrow streets, no setback and no parking mean materials come in by hand and staging is negotiated rather than assumed. We plan for it.

Are you licensed and insured?

Massachusetts HIC #193121, general liability and workers' compensation. Verify it on Mass.gov before hiring anyone.
