Trim Painting in Lexington, MA
Brushwork with clean cut lines where trim meets wall. Semi-gloss enamel so it wipes down and holds up.
How this plays out in Lexington
Most of what we paint in Lexington is colonials of every era plus mid-century modern. Antique colonials near the Green, 1950s–1970s colonials and splits across most of the town, and architect-designed mid-century modern at Peacock Farm and Six Moon Hill. Lexington maintains historic districts around the Battle Green and Munroe. Exterior changes visible from the street require approval before work begins.
Our process
Brushwork with clean cut lines where trim meets wall. Semi-gloss enamel so it wipes down and holds up.
Trim gets filled, caulked at the wall line, sanded, then brushed with an enamel that levels out rather than holding brush marks. Waterborne alkyds flow better than straight latex on casing and give you a harder surface on a windowsill that actually gets used.
What usually fails
Caulk applied after paint rather than before is the tell of a rushed job. It yellows, it cracks along the top edge, and it can't be fixed without redoing the line.
