"Alencar and his crew were exceptional. The process was professional from start to finish. I needed ceilings, trim, and walls done in most rooms of the house. The walls were riddled with holes from the prior owners. His team was amazing in their attention to detail, spackling, sanding and priming all the holes. Their edging and trim work exceeded my expectations. This is a professional establishment with a competitive price point and worth every penny for a job well done. Thank you Al, Leo and Alex!!!"

Our numerous years of experience, great attention to detail, friendly service, and all around dedication to our work and customers make us a great choice for anyone looking to have work done on their house, business, apartment, or condo.

"The job started with a thorough cleaning of the house, including the interior of the screen porch. The house and trim were painted, according to the colors we selected. They were on time and professional. They kept us up-to-date and gave us daily reports. The house is a two floor colonial with an addition. The work was started when they said they would start. They focused on the job until it was done 5 to 6 days later. They even took the screens off the screen porch so that that railings could be painted on all sides. The price was quite competitive and worth every penny."

"My crew from NSP was amazing. Professional, courteous, kind and on point to get the task done. Large 2 story colonial with addition and ovs garage. I believe it took total of 5 days because of early weather in October 22. No paint chips on ground, very conscious of my shrubs and gardens, you would not even know they were painting. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this outstanding company and would not hesitate to have them paint my home again. The price was very fair, the warranty good but most of all they always stayed in touch to let me know what was going to happen etc. My team, Frank, Benjamin and Valerio were amazing. Peter the owner and coordinator did a great job. Thank you again. My neighbors stopped to tell me how great my home looks and asked for the name of the painters for them in springtime. Thats says much about Northshore Painting. Great job, great professionalism, great job. VCM Billerica Ma"

Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

Many people choose to paint the walls first for a few reasons. First, it can provide a sense of accomplishment and motivation to tackle the rest of the room. Second, starting with the walls allows for more forgiveness of small mistakes. You can paint right up to the edge of the trim and easily cover up any accidental paint drops later. On the other hand, if you start with the trim, you need to be more precise to avoid any splatters on the walls.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

If you’re repainting with the same sheen, it’s possible to apply satin paint over satin. However, if you’re reducing the glossiness and using a flatter paint, you should sand first to take off some of the sheen. Sanding will also help the next coat of paint stick to the wall better, so it’s a good idea, even if you’re not changing the sheen.

While DIY is possible, professionals ensure proper adhesion, even coating, and the use of high-quality, weather-resistant paints.

A whole-house color palette often has between five and seven colors. Those include the trim color that appears throughout your home, a foundation color for your main living areas, secondary colors for each bedroom, and accent colors, which are close to your foundation or secondary colors. Smaller homes under 1,000 square feet may just have four or five colors, while larger homes can have ten or more and still look cohesive.
