“With nearly 100 five-star Google reviews, we’ve been proudly serving homeowners since 2018. Specializing in premium interior painting and cabinet refinishing, we deliver exceptional quality and craftsmanship you can trust.”
"I have never had a house painted before, so I did not have anything very specific in mind other than to paint the exterior with the existing (or similar) colors. While assessing the job, Mateus (the owner) pointed out a lot of additional details to think about, such as carpentry work for rotted boards, trim color (he pointed out how the trim was not painted in a consistent color scheme), and he suggested that the foundation and bulkhead door should also be painted. He also helped us with selecting colors that blend well together. A last minute addition was to replace and paint the stairs (treads and risers) to our enclosed deck, as those were also rotting, During the job, Mateus was there with his crew every day (non-rainy) as early as possible, and stayed until dark, until the job was completed. At all times the team seemed to work quite efficiently, and were very polite and pleasant. All along the way, Mateus helped us understand the steps of the required work, answered all the questions we had, and provided great guidance when we needed to make a decision, such color selection and material choices for replacing trim boards. My wife and I are delighted with the results (it looks like a new house). Pricing was very fair. I would hire this company again, and would have no trouble recommending them."

With over 20 years of experience, Erivan Da Silva is your trusted partner for all your painting projects. I have built my reputation and business by providing high quality work at reasonable prices. We are Angi Super Service Award Winners since 2018 and pride ourselves in excellence! Call today and see what a difference my attention to detail makes.
"I have nothing but great things to say about Erivan and his crew. I think it's important for everyone to know the details of my experience with him to reflect how good he is at what he does as a painter but also how genuine and helpful he is as a person. If you aren't willing to read my long review, here is the short version: Erivan is super responsive, accommodating, and truthful with his quotes. He does an AMAZING job and he is very clean. No dust, no mess and not intrusive in your living space which was impressive for me since I work from home and my office was just down the hall not too far away from the kitchen where they needed to paint. He is one of the few painters you would find to take extra time to cover and seal everything to make sure nothing gets dirty, dusty or stained by paint. Now that that's out of the way, I recommend to take couple of minutes to read what led me to hire Erivan. I needed my kitchen cabinets painted and just like most of you, I started my search by requesting quotes from painters and alike. Erivan was one of the first ones to respond. My initial strategy was to send pictures of my kitchen to people and ask for estimates to speed up the process. I contacted close to 15 people in total and some said they would need to see the kitchen in person and others said they will get back to me within day to give me a quote. Take it from me, NEVER hire anyone who gives you quotes based on pictures. They will either over-shoot their estimate - sometimes because they don't even want to bother with you - or they will start demanding more money in the middle of the job. Always pick from people who come to your house to give estimates. Fast forward few days, I had five people coming over looking at the cabinets including Erivan himself. Erivan examined everything very carefully, asked me what I specifically wanted and explained what he would be doing step by step before giving me a very reasonable and realistic quote. He took the time to explain and train me about the process and his particular choice of products for the job and why it differs from what others may choose to use. Long story short, as much as I liked Erivan and his quote, my wife and I decided to go with some other painter due to some smooth talk and overpromises both my wife and I fell for. He (the other painter, Not Erivan) made us wait three weeks and canceled on us two day before due to "personal" reasons. I have no way of knowing if true or not, but felt like a fool at that point. I contacted Erivan again. He responded almost immediately and said he would help me but needed a day or two to tell me when exactly he can schedule me for. He was in the middle of a job and had other jobs lined up so he wasn't sure if he can even squeeze me in since my residence is more than an hour away from his business. One of the the things that highly impressed me was how responsive he is and he how well he keeps his word. If he says he will call tomorrow, rest assured he certainly will. You won't have to chase him around to get an answer. Just like he promised, he called and told me he had an opening for few days before his next job and I am available first thing the next morning he can do it, Otherwise, it would have to be some other time. I agreed, He showed up at 7:15am the next morning with his worker, and yes, he comes from almost an hour and half away distance. They have done everything the proper way (no cutting corners or rushing through the job) for kitchen cabinet paining including, cleaning with special chemicals, sanding, priming and sanding again, applying stain blockers and few coats of painting. Luckily, the weather cooperated and Erivan was able to use the warm, sunny day to prime and spray the cabinet doors outside in my backyard while his worker took care of the trims and other areas in the kitchen. They both chose to stay until after 7pm that day to make the best out of what the weather offered. They came at 7:15am the next day, put back all the hinges and doors, leveled the cabinets, and even changed my cabinet handles/pulls which I said I wouldn't do. In other words, they even complied my last minute changes that added to their work since he needed to fill up the old holes on the cabinets and make new ones for the new handles my wife really wanted. The cabinets look FANTASTIC. They are nice and smooth and professionally done. He gave me specific instructions what to do and not to do after he left to ensure the cabinets are properly dried and taken care off. They were in and out in matter of two, although very long, days and barely felt their presence through out the process which is especially amazing to me since I work from home and rely on quiet nature of home office space. If the weather didn't cooperate I believe it would probably have been an additional day or two for the job to be completed. Simply put, here is the list of things you should expect from Erivan and his crew: 1) Extremely responsive. His phone doesn't stop all day and he responds to everyone equally without compromising his work time on the job 2) Work ethic is exceptional 3) Honest and genuine 4) Super capable and delivers professional results. He has close to three decades of painting experience 5) Detail oriented and due diligent 6) Very clean 7) Very careful moving stuff around like refrigerators and such and pays attention not to scratch floors 8) He will do exactly what you ask him to do but he will always recommend what's best for you since it makes no difference for him 9) He will treat your space as if it is his and no exaggeration when I say that 10) Respectful and a stand up guy I would not hesitate to hire him again although I wouldn't make him drive that distance if it isn't worth it for him. I took the time to write this long review in order to save anyone time dealing with others. He gets full score from me and I have no doubt you will feel the same if you hire him. See the before and after picture."

You should paint your home exterior every five to 10 years, on average. Climate and surroundings can affect how well paint holds up. Wood siding will likely need a fresh coat of paint every three to seven years. Paint on brick tends to last about eight to 17 years, on average.
Calculate the square footage of the area you want to paint. Divide the square footage by 350 (the average square footage a gallon of paint covers). Multiply the number of gallons you need by two, as you’ll likely be applying two coats of paint. For a more accurate estimate, subtract the square footage of the windows and doors from the initial square footage total. It’s a good idea to plan for an extra gallon of paint to make sure you have enough to finish the job.
To calculate the square footage of a home exterior, painters multiply the length of the wall by the height of the wall to be painted. Then they add the total square footage for all of the walls to be painted. To calculate the price, they multiply the total square footage by their cost per square foot to prep and paint. Additional costs may factor in such as repairs, additional trim, and walls higher than the first story.
The cost to paint the exterior of a house ranges from $1,900 to $4,500 or about $1.50 to $4 per square foot, depending on the size, height, and complexity of the home layout. Other cost factors include your location, the type of siding (e.g., wood, aluminum, brick, stucco, etc.), and the kind of paint (e.g. oil-based, latex, acrylic, etc.). Painting the trim a different color or painting intricately designed trim can also increase the cost.
You should apply at least two coats of paint when painting the exterior of your house. Two coats of paint provides better durability and more even coverage than just one coat.
