Presidential Village
About 250 mill-built houses on streets named for presidents, in a set of standard designs. A century of changes means each one gets its own look before Ed prices it.

Painting homes
in Maynard.
Maynard is a mill town at heart. The Assabet Woolen Mill on the river built it, and the clock tower still stands over downtown. Housing followed the mill: compact lots, two-families, and the Presidential Village streets the American Woolen Company began building for its workers in 1902. With small yards and houses set close together, careful masking and drop cloths are part of every job here.
Maynard split off from Stow and Sudbury in 1871, and it's still right next door. Ed drives over to look at the house himself, then sends a written estimate listing each step. On a mill-era house that usually means exterior house painting with lead-safe prep and patient work on the trim. Ed also handles interior painting, cabinet painting, power washing and deck staining in town, and he stops in every day while the crew works.
Maynard homes,
and what they need.
Mill two-families
When the mill sold its houses in 1934, 49 of them were two-families. Painting one means working around two households, and Ed talks access and timing through with both.
Old paint underneath
Mill-era houses predate 1978 by decades, so the old paint may contain lead. Lead-safe prep is part of the plan.

Questions from
Maynard.
Ed is 3 miles east of Stow. Call him now.
Do you paint houses in Maynard?
Yes. Maynard is the closest town to Beacon's base in Stow, about three miles away.
How long does it take to paint a two-family?
Longer than a single house of the same footprint, since there are two sets of porches, doors and stairs and two households to plan around. Ed puts a realistic time frame in the written estimate.
Can you paint one side of a two-family?
Yes. Ed will look at the whole building and talk through doing both sides together or one at a time.
Is there a historic district in Maynard?
Maynard has a Historical Commission and a demolition-delay bylaw, but no local historic district reviewing exterior paint. The commission can confirm for your street.
Can you work on a tight lot?
Yes. Close neighbors just mean more care with ladders and drop cloths, and the crew cleans up at the end of each day.
