Somerville is the densest three-decker city in America — block after block of 1900s-1920s wood-frame three-families in Magoun, Ball, Powderhouse, and Spring Hill. Newer condo conversions are common; many three-deckers have been split into individually-owned units requiring coordinated common-area painting.
Somerville's urban density traps heat in summer, accelerating south-facing siding fade, while the dense tree canopy on residential streets creates heavy mildew on north sides. Both extremes within a single house require zone-specific paint specs.
We paint across every Somerville neighborhood — 5 minutes from our Medford HQ via Mystic Ave. Whether your home is in Davis Square, Porter Square, Union Square, or one of Somerville's other neighborhoods, our Medford-based crews provide free written estimates.
