At M&C Painting, full exterior painting projects generally start around $10,000, with a typical South Shore home often falling between $14,000 and $22,000. Larger Duxbury homes or projects requiring extensive scraping, weathered-wood repairs, detailed trim work, difficult access, or significant preparation can exceed $20,000. We price exterior projects based on the overall scope rather than square footage alone, and our estimates include labor, materials, and minor carpentry related to the painting project.

Duxbury is exposed to coastal storms, wind, moisture, salt air, and major seasonal temperature changes. Homes closer to Duxbury Bay, Snug Harbor, Powder Point, and the shoreline can experience especially demanding conditions. Proper preparation, quality caulking, appropriate primers, and durable exterior coatings help protect siding and trim from repeated exposure to those elements.

Older Duxbury homes can include generations of previous paint, aging clapboards, detailed trim, original or older windows, plaster interiors, and repaired surfaces that need considerably more attention than newer construction. Duxbury’s shipbuilding history is still visible in many preserved homes along Washington Street, St. George Street, and Powder Point Avenue. We evaluate those older materials carefully and build the painting process around what the individual property actually needs.

Yes. M&C Painting holds Massachusetts lead-safe credentials and is certified to perform painting work on homes built before 1978. With Duxbury’s extensive collection of older and historic properties, existing coatings are an important consideration on many projects. Our team follows the appropriate lead-safe practices while completing the preparation and painting work required for the home.

Under Duxbury’s current Local Historic District Commission rules, the color of paint applied to exterior building surfaces is specifically excluded from Commission review. Other visible exterior changes to a property within a local historic district, such as alterations to windows, doors, building materials, or architectural features, may still require approval. If your painting project includes changes beyond paint color, it’s worth confirming the requirements for your specific property with the Commission.

Yes. Carpentry related to the painting project can be incorporated into the overall scope. If we identify deteriorated trim or other smaller areas of damaged wood, we can address those issues before painting rather than covering material that is already failing.

If your cabinet boxes are structurally sound and you still like your kitchen layout, refinishing can dramatically update the room without replacing cabinetry that still has years of useful life. It generally costs substantially less than full replacement and creates less disruption while allowing you to completely change the color and appearance of the kitchen.
