Transforming Homes in Melrose, MA: Our Latest Exterior Makeover

By Larry Gamst • October 2, 2024

Transforming Exteriors with Carpentry Repair & House Painting At New England Painting and Contracting, we are passionate about breathing new life into homes, making them shine with renewed beauty and strength. Our recent project in Melrose, MA, perfectly showcases this dedication, where we tackled a house exterior in dire need of some tender care. The home was showing its age, with rotting clapboards and trim that cried out for attention. Our carpenters swiftly got to work, removing the decayed wood and replacing it with robust new materials. This essential carpentry work set the stage for a remarkable transformation. Once the carpentry was complete, our focus shifted to priming and painting. We selected top-tier Benjamin Moore products to ensure not only a stunning finish but also one that will endure the test of time. The primer laid down a solid foundation, allowing the paint to achieve a flawless look and long-lasting protection against the elements.
