From Weathered to Wonderful: Dover MA House Painting Project Transforms Classic Colonial

A complete exterior painting transformation in Dover, Massachusetts showcasing the power of professional preparation and quality craftsmanship

Our Dover MA Exterior Painting Approach: Preparation Makes Perfect

At Laperle Painting, we know that exceptional exterior painting results start with exceptional preparation. This Dover, Massachusetts project exemplified our commitment to doing things right from the ground up - and doing it all in-house with our own skilled craftsmen.

Phase 1: Professional Pressure Washing

The initial phase of any exterior painting project begins with our own crew of professional pressure washers. Our team thoroughly pressure washes all exterior surfaces to be painted, removing built-up dirt, mildew, pollen, chalk from previous paint coatings, and other surface contaminants that can affect paint adhesion.

Extensive Prep Work and Surface Restoration

Following the pressure washing phase, our team conducted comprehensive preparation:

• Power disc grinding and sanding to completely remove older layers of peeling paint
• Thorough cleaning and assessment of all cedar clapboard surfaces
• Board replacement by our skilled carpenters: Several deteriorated clapboard siding boards were replaced with premium redwood clear vertical grain cedar
• Trim restoration: Rotted pine trim boards were replaced with durable PVC trim boards for long-lasting performance
• Detailed surface preparation to ensure optimal paint adhesion
• Precision masking and protection of windows, landscaping, and architectural details

Professional House Painting Equipment and Safety

Working on a two-story colonial requires the right equipment and expertise. Our crew utilized professional-grade ladders and safety equipment to access every angle of this complex roofline and multi-level siding configuration. This attention to safety and thoroughness is what sets professional Dover painting contractors apart from amateur painters.

Premium Materials for Long-Lasting Results

At Laperle Painting, we believe in using only the finest materials for superior durability and finish quality. For this Dover project, we used:

• Benjamin Moore MoorWood Oil-Based Primer Sealer: Applied as the base coat and tinted to match the desired finish color for optimal coverage and adhesion
• Benjamin Moore WoodLuxe Solid Deck & Siding Stain: Applied to all clapboard siding for exceptional durability, weather resistance, and rich color depth
• Benjamin Moore MoorGlo Vinyl Acrylic Latex Paint: Used for all trim boards, windows, doors, and shutters, providing superior adhesion and lasting finish quality
• Redwood Clear Vertical Grain Cedar: Used for clapboard replacements, offering superior weather resistance and natural beauty
• PVC Trim Boards: Replaced rotted pine trim with maintenance-free PVC for lasting performance

The Dover Home Painting Transformation

The results speak for themselves. We transformed this Dover, MA colonial from weathered and tired to absolutely stunning:

Color Selection

Working with the homeowners, we selected a sophisticated gray-blue exterior color that perfectly complements the New England aesthetic while giving the home a fresh, contemporary appeal. The color choice enhances the home's architectural details and creates beautiful contrast with the existing brick chimney.

Attention to Detail

• Crisp white trim work around all windows and architectural elements
• Beautifully maintained black shutters that add classic charm
• Clean, even coverage on every clapboard
• Professional finish quality that will protect and beautify for years to come
