We’ve been Your Professional Painters in Marshfield Since 1998

CertaPro Painters has painted over 20,000 homes on the South Shore, Plymouth, and in the Marshfield area.

Residential Painting for Marshfield Homes:

We offer interior and exterior painting, wood repair, and free color consultation on Marshfield homes.

Marshfield is one of the South Shore’s most scenic coastal towns, and the homes we paint in Marshfield reflect its unique and historic personality. While Marshfield homes are typically classic Colonials and Capes, we have painted all types of homes in Marshfield and many Marshfield condominiums.

We paint for Marshfield second homeowners, even if they’re out of state and can’t be on site.

Commercial Painting for Marshfield Businesses and Multi-Family Communities:

Our Commercial Painting Department is skilled at working with your business, office, or condominium community to plan the painting in a way that is not disruptive to your business or residents.  We offer night and weekend painting at no extra charge to get the painting done for you more easily.

Historic homes in Marshfield – our specialty

We’ve painted date-boarded houses in Marshfield and have experience working with the Marshfield Historical Society to get the original historic colors “just right.” Lots of our Marshfield Clients with newer homes and cul-de-sac developments have even worked with our color consultant to choose a historically accurate color palette that is beyond the “basic builder’s beige” that South Shore builders often use.

Suggestions for painting your Marshfield home:

Rotted trim, shingles and clapboards are understandably common on Marshfield homes. Because our New England winters and salt air don’t play nicely with the wood on Marshfield homes, wood failure is common on Marshfield exteriors. If you see rotting wood boards on your home, replace the wood as soon as possible so you don’t have further or internal damage as the water continues to seep into the wood’s porous fibers. Our carpenters repair rotting wood on about 50% of the homes we paint in Marshfield, so this is a very common issue that we can easily handle with you having to hire a separate carpenter – we are a one-stop company to make it easier for you!

PVC vs. Wood replacement boards – We have carpenters on staff to replace rotted wood on your Marshfield home before we paint. We often replace rotted wood boards with PVC material so the rotting won’t continue to occur. While PVC materials can cost a bit more, knowing you won’t have to replace them again will save you money in the end. It’s also our general practice to only replace the rotted wood boards with PVC, which, when painted, is hard to distinguish from the existing wood on your home. Leaving the non-rotted wood in place while we only repair the rotten wood, can help to lower the overall cost to you. Modern PVC is also available to match many historic molding profiles to maintain your antique home in period style – we can even replace wood gutters with a direct-match PVC solution! If you plan to put your home on the market sooner rather than later, it can be more cost-effective to choose less expensive wood materials to replace your boards.

Salt air and stormy Marshfield winters: Since Marshfield is a coastal town, salt air, and coastal storms present an issue where the climate will affect the longevity of the paint job. With this in mind, we use paints and stains that are specifically designed to help combat the wear and tear on your Marshfield home’s exterior. Marshfield homes need to be painted every 5-7 years to make sure the wood remains preserved.  It can also be a good idea to add a “maintenance coat” of paint or stain every 3-5 years to protect the existing paints and stains on the shingles, clapboards, and trim.

Cedar Shingles – A Staple in Marshfield: Cedar shingles are so popular because they offer durability with a classic New England look. In Marshfield, most homes contain shingles that are often on at least one or more sides of the exteriors. Many Marshfield residents like to let their shingles weather or grey over time – this is a classic look that gets better with age. We also can coat your shingles with a semi-solid or solid stain to protect your cedar shingles from the Marshfield elements and help prevent them from getting gray. Stains are protective as well as beautifying as stains seep into your cedar shingles to protect them.

What’s that black stuff on my shingles? Yes, your cedar shingles are a ripe habitat for mold and mildew. We recommend power-washing them with a mold-killing detergent before coating them with the stain. Of course, if your shingles are on the damp or shady side of your home, the mildew will grow again. As a precaution, we recommend trimming trees so that there is some sun shining on your shingles at least part of the day and the house is allowed to “breathe.”  The more sunlight on your cedar shingles, the better.

Giving Back to the Marshfield Community:

We love the Marshfield community and have donated to many Marshfield community organizations including: Eames School and Martinson Elementary School.  We’ve also cleaned the highway on the Route 3 stretch between the Pembroke and Marshfield exits since 2008.

Need a raffle prize or silent auction donation for your Marshfield non-profit?  Just email [email protected] and we’ll respond with a gift certificate you can raffle off or sell.

Marshfield business owners – We have a separate Commercial Painting Department: 

Marshfield businesses, medical offices, religious buildings, restaurants, property managers, shops, and facility managers have worked with CertaPro Painters for years.

And if your Marshfield office needs to remain open while we’re painting, we offer night and weekend work at no extra charge – this way, your business is not disrupted.

Our commercial department gets to know what’s important to your business or community and matches the paint and application to those needs.  For example, we can use scuff-resistant paint in high-traffic areas like lobbies and microbicidal paints that actually kill germs in restrooms and medical offices.

Marshfield Interior Painting ideas:

Older homes in Marshfield have walls that nicely separate the downstairs rooms. Because the doors and walls separate the rooms so well, it’s not uncommon to choose paint colors based on the function of the room (for example, a relaxing forest green for the study and a bolder color for the dining room). Our crews have lots of experience with horsehair plaster repairs that are so common in Marshfield, wallpaper removal, painting natural or stained moldings, and most other nuances of maintaining the antique homes that are common to Marshfield.

Open-floor plan homes that are popular in the newer neighborhoods and developments and renovated homes throughout Marshfield often need a single color in different shades and tones in order to be cohesive as you move throughout the first floor and up the stairs to the upper hall. It can be fun to choose a bolder color for a powder room or first-floor office and let the kids choose (reasonable) colors for their own rooms.

Our color consultant Kate works with our Marshfield customers in their homes to help them choose colors that work with their existing furnishings but still make their space feel fresh. Kate will never push you to choose something you’re not 100% comfortable with, but she will give you the confidence to choose a palette that feels “just right.” This is a complimentary service we provide as part of our interior or exterior painting projects to make the process of choosing a color easier for you.  Having help choosing paint colors makes the outcome of the painting project so much better.
