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 Scituate homes or projects requiring extensive scraping, weathered-wood repairs, detailed trim work, 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.

There isn’t one repainting schedule that works for every Scituate property. Homes with greater exposure around Minot, Sand Hills, Lighthouse Point, Scituate Harbor, the Cliffs, and Humarock may weather differently from homes farther inland. Sunlight, moisture, wind, siding material, previous preparation, and paint quality all play a role. Peeling paint, cracked caulk, exposed wood, fading, or recurring surface deterioration are usually better signals that it’s time to repaint than simply counting the years.

Scituate’s coastline is directly exposed to Atlantic storms, wind, moisture, and salt air. The Town’s climate planning describes Scituate as particularly vulnerable to coastal storms and storm surge, and its hazard planning specifically addresses flooding, winter storms, high winds, and sea-level rise. Those conditions make proper surface preparation especially important because moisture intrusion, failed caulk, exposed wood, and deteriorating coatings can quickly undermine a new finish if they aren’t addressed first.

They can. The individual condition of the property is always more important than its address, but highly exposed coastal homes deserve particular attention to peeling coatings, cracked caulk, moisture-related deterioration, exposed wood, and weathered trim. We inspect those surfaces during the estimate and build the preparation around what the home actually needs before new coatings are applied.

Yes. M&C Painting holds Massachusetts lead-safe credentials and is certified to perform painting work on homes built before 1978. Because Scituate has such a large amount of older housing, this can be an important consideration when existing coatings may contain lead. Our team follows the appropriate lead-safe practices while completing the preparation and painting work required for the project.

Wood siding and shingles need to be evaluated based on their current condition and existing finish. Weathering, moisture exposure, peeling coatings, previous repairs, and exposed areas can all change what preparation is required. On already-painted wood surfaces, proper cleaning, removal of failing coatings, spot priming, caulking where appropriate, and repair of deteriorated material are especially important to creating a finish that performs well.

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