Lake cottages
Cottages that turned into year-round homes often have mixed siding and trim from years of additions. Each surface may need its own primer.

Painting homes
in Littleton.
Littleton has deep orchard roots, which is part of why Veryfine moved its juice business here in 1930. Littleton Common is the busy center, I-495 and Route 2 cross the town, and Long Lake, Fort Pond and Mill Pond break up the neighborhoods. Around the lakes, many summer cottages became year-round homes over the years, while old farmhouses and newer subdivisions fill in the rest.
From Stow, Littleton is a quick trip north. Ed sees every house in person before he writes an estimate, and he'll point out anything that needs attention before paint, like soft wood or failing caulk. Near the highways and lakes, power washing usually comes before exterior house painting or deck staining. Inside, interior painting and cabinet painting can go on the calendar for the cold months. He visits the site each day the crew is there.
Littleton homes,
and what they need.
Near the highways
Houses close to I-495, Route 2 and Route 119 pick up road film and winter salt. A good wash before painting matters here.
Old farmhouses
Littleton was settled in the 1680s and some houses are very old. Anything built before 1978 calls for lead-safe prep.

Questions from
Littleton.
Ed is 7 miles north of Stow. Call him now.
Do you paint houses in Littleton?
Yes. Littleton is about seven miles north of Stow and part of Beacon's regular area.
How long does exterior paint need before it rains?
Most exterior paints need several dry hours to set, and longer on cool or humid days. The crew checks the forecast and stops early if rain or heavy dew is coming.
Is there a local historic district in Littleton?
Not that we know of. The town has a Historical Commission with a demolition-delay bylaw, which doesn't cover repainting.
Can you paint a lake house?
Yes. Lakefront homes deal with damp and mildew, so the crew washes thoroughly and lets the siding dry before priming.
Do you do interior work in winter?
Yes. Interiors aren't tied to the weather, so they can be booked through the cold months.
