House Painting Newton MA
We've painted homes across every Newton village since 2017, handling both interior and exterior work with the same crew from estimate to final walk-through.
We offer interior and exterior house painting for homes across Newton, Cambridge, Somerville, Watertown, and surrounding Middlesex County towns. Whether you have an older colonial with peeling clapboards or you want to update the colors in your living room, we handle the job from start to finish.
Interior House Painting
We paint bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms, and hallways. Older homes in Newton often have plaster walls that require careful prep work. We fix the cracks, apply the right high-build primer, and leave you with clean lines. Read more about our interior painting services.
Exterior House Painting
The New England freeze-thaw cycle destroys bad paint jobs. We scrape, sand, and caulk before we paint. We work on clapboard siding, exterior trim, and porches. Our painting season runs from April through October, and we use products that extend the season. Learn about our exterior painting process.

- Prep work: We scrape, sand, and prime before a single coat goes on. This is the foundation of our work.
- Communication: We answer the phone and show up when we say we will.
- Materials: We use Benjamin Moore Aura and Regal Select, and Sherwin-Williams Emerald and Duration.
Newton Homes We Work On
About 84% of Newton homes predate the lead paint ban. We use lead-safe practices on every job. We also know how to handle specific local materials:
- Plaster walls: We repair cracks and use high-build primers.
- Cedar shingles: We use penetrating stains that protect the wood without peeling.
- Victorian trim: We take the time to scrape and paint detailed trim correctly.
- Clapboard siding: We seal joints and apply durable exterior paint.
Serving Newton's Villages
We serve homeowners in Chestnut Hill, Waban, Newton Highlands, West Newton, Newton Centre, and all other Newton villages. We also offer deck painting and cabinet painting.

The Home
A Colonial-style home on West Newton Hill, one of Newton's older, larger-lot villages, with clapboard exterior and a mostly-original interior including several rooms of plaster walls. The homeowners wanted both the exterior refreshed before winter and the main living areas repainted at the same time to avoid scheduling two separate projects.
How We Built the Estimate
- •On-site walkthrough covering exterior surface condition (clapboard, trim, rot spots) and interior room count and wall condition (plaster vs. drywall)
- •Scope discussion to confirm which rooms were interior-only vs. which exterior elevations needed work, since combined projects are priced by total scope, not a flat per-house rate
- •Product selection: Benjamin Moore Regal Select Exterior for the clapboard, Aura for interior living spaces
- •Written, itemized quote separating exterior and interior labor and materials
Cost Breakdown (Example)
| Line Item | What's Included | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Exterior prep | Power wash, scrape, sand, caulk, minor wood rot repair | $2,800 |
| Exterior materials & labor | Regal Select Exterior, two coats, trim and siding | $5,400 |
| Interior prep & materials | Plaster patching, priming, Aura paint for 4 rooms | $3,200 |
| Interior labor | Application, furniture protection, cleanup | $2,600 |
| Total (example) | $14,000 |
Full interior-and-exterior projects in Newton typically run $8,000–$18,000 depending on square footage and surface condition. This example sits toward the upper-middle of that range given the combined scope.

Why It's Worth Doing
Combining exterior and interior work into one project means one crew, one schedule, and one round of prep logistics instead of two separate disruptions to the household.
