Large houses
Big homes mean long runs of trim, many windows and often a garage or outbuildings. Planning the order of work keeps the job moving.

Painting homes
in Weston.
Weston has been a town of estates since the 1860s, and large-lot zoning from the early 1950s kept it that way. About 18 percent of the land is protected, there are 37 designated scenic roads, and the Charles River runs along the eastern edge. The buildings range from the 1768 Golden Ball Tavern on the Boston Post Road to big wooded properties off Route 117 and Route 30.
On larger properties Ed takes his time on the walk-through, garages and outbuildings included, and asks how you'd like the work ordered. That might be exterior house painting first, then interior painting and cabinet painting through the colder months, with deck staining and power washing fit in where they make sense. His written estimate leaves nothing vague, from prep to the last coat. Once work begins he checks in with the crew, and with you, every day.
Weston homes,
and what they need.
Crescent Street district
Weston's one local historic district is Crescent Street, with its own commission. Ten other areas are listed on the National Register.
Older estates
Estate houses from the late 1800s and early 1900s were painted long before 1978. Lead-safe prep and careful work on detailed trim are part of the job.

Questions from
Weston.
Ed is 11 miles southeast of Stow. Call him now.
Do you paint houses in Weston?
Yes. Weston is about eleven miles from Stow, and Ed covers the whole town.
What affects the cost of painting a large house?
Mostly the amount of prep and trim: the number of windows, detailed woodwork, height, and any garages or outbuildings. Lead-safe work on older estates adds time too. Ed walks every part of the property and puts it all in a detailed written estimate.
Is my house in a local historic district?
Only properties in the Crescent Street Local Historic District go through a district commission. If you're elsewhere, ask the Weston Historical Commission whether anything applies.
Can you paint the garage and outbuildings too?
Yes. Outbuildings get the same prep as the house, and Ed can include them in one estimate.
How long does a large house take?
Longer than a typical colonial, depending on prep and weather. Ed will give you a realistic schedule in the written estimate.
