Two-families and multi-units
Painting a shared building means planning around more than one household and agreeing on colors. Ed can walk the building with everyone involved.

Painting homes
in Watertown.
Watertown was settled in 1630 on the Charles River, and Watertown Square is still where Routes 16 and 20 meet. It's a compact city, and more of its homes are in two-family and small multi-unit buildings than in detached single-family houses. Neighborhoods like Bemis, Coolidge Square, East Watertown and the West End are close-built, and Mount Auburn Street holds the city's one local historic district.
Ed still does the walk-through himself, and on a shared building he'll want to see every side and talk with whoever owns each unit. Exterior house painting on a shared building usually starts with power washing. Interior painting and cabinet painting can be scheduled unit by unit, and back decks and porches get deck staining when they need it. He puts the full scope in writing and comes in daily to keep an eye on the crew and the quality of the work.
Watertown homes,
and what they need.
Close-set houses
With houses near each other, ladders, drop cloths and clean-up need extra care so nothing lands on the neighbor's car or siding.

Questions from
Watertown.
Ed is 17 miles east of Stow. Call him now.
Do you paint houses in Watertown?
Yes. Watertown is about seventeen miles from Stow, and Ed covers the whole city.
How long does exterior painting take on a close-set house?
Usually a little longer than on an open lot, because ladders and drop cloths have to be set up with care between houses. Ed will give you a realistic schedule in the estimate.
Can you paint a two-family with two owners?
Yes. Ed can walk the house with both owners, so everyone sees the same plan and the same estimate.
Is lead paint a concern?
In older houses, yes. Paint from before 1978 may contain lead, and Massachusetts rules call for lead-safe methods when it's sanded or scraped.
Do you do interior painting in Watertown?
Yes. Walls, ceilings, trim and cabinets, scheduled around your household, any time of year.
