Victorian detail
Queen Anne houses carry shingles, brackets and turned trim. That detail takes hand scraping and a lot of careful brush work.

Painting homes
in Newton.
Newton is a city of thirteen villages, from Auburndale and West Newton to Waban, Newton Upper Falls and Chestnut Hill. Much of it grew along the railroad in the 1800s, and places like Newtonville are full of large Queen Anne and Colonial Revival houses from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. There are two-families too, and the Charles River wraps around the city's north and west sides.
Newton sits near the edge of Beacon's area, but Ed still comes out for every walk-through and writes a detailed estimate before any work is booked. On a Victorian, exterior house painting means looking closely at every bracket and window. Inside, interior painting and kitchen cabinet painting get the same care, and the crew handles power washing and deck staining too. During the job he makes the drive to check in each day.
Newton homes,
and what they need.
Four local districts
Upper Falls, Chestnut Hill, Newtonville and Auburndale each have a historic district commission that reviews what's visible from the street.
Old paint layers
Houses from the 1800s and early 1900s were painted long before 1978, so lead-safe prep is part of the plan.

Questions from
Newton.
Ed is 17 miles southeast of Stow. Call him now.
Do you paint houses in Newton?
Yes. At about seventeen miles, Newton is one of the farther places Beacon covers, and Ed handles every estimate in person.
What affects the cost of painting a Victorian?
The detail. Shingles, brackets, turned trim and multiple colors all take hand work, and old paint layers need lead-safe prep. Ed counts it up on the walk-through and gives you a detailed written estimate.
Is my house in a Newton local historic district?
Newton has four: Upper Falls, Chestnut Hill, Newtonville and Auburndale. If you're in one, check with its commission before changing anything visible from the street.
Do you paint two-family houses?
Yes. Ed will walk the whole building and work out the schedule with both households.
How long does a Victorian take?
Longer than a plain colonial, because of the trim and detail. Ed will give you a realistic time frame in the estimate.
