At M&C Painting, full exterior painting projects generally start around $9,000, with a typical Rockland home often falling between $11,000 and $18,000. Larger projects or homes requiring extensive scraping, repairs, detailed trim work, or 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. Learn more about exterior painting costs

There isn’t one repainting schedule that works for every Rockland home. The condition of the siding, previous preparation, sun exposure, moisture, paint quality, and age of the surfaces all affect how long an exterior lasts. Peeling, cracking caulk, fading, exposed wood, or recurring surface deterioration are usually better indicators that it’s time to repaint than simply counting the years.

Older homes can have multiple generations of paint, aging woodwork, repaired siding, detailed trim, and surfaces that need considerably more preparation before painting. This is especially relevant around Union Street, where the Massachusetts Historical Commission documents a significant concentration of older housing and Federal-period cottages. We evaluate the condition of the existing surfaces first so the scope reflects what the home actually needs.

Yes. If we encounter minor deterioration in trim or other painted wood surfaces, M&C Painting can handle minor carpentry related to the painting project. Repairing those areas before applying new coatings helps avoid simply covering up a problem that can continue deteriorating underneath the paint. When possible, these carpentry repairs will be assessed before the project starts and included in your free quote.

In general, our exterior season is May through October, but the best painting window depends more on actual weather and surface conditions than a specific date. Temperatures need to fall within the requirements of the products being used, surfaces need to be adequately dry, and rain or excessive moisture can affect the schedule. We plan exterior projects around conditions that allow the coatings to perform properly rather than forcing work into an unsuitable weather window.

If your cabinet boxes are structurally sound and you still like the kitchen layout, refinishing can deliver a dramatic transformation without paying to remove and replace cabinetry that still has years of useful life. It also generally involves less disruption than a complete kitchen renovation.
