Exterior Painting in Cheshire, Connecticut
Cheshire is a suburban town with a historic village center and neighborhoods built mostly between the 1950s and 1990s. About 11 miles — roughly 20 minutes — from our Waterbury office.
Exterior Painting for Cheshire homes
Exterior painting in Cheshire means painting 1960s–1990s colonials and split-levels on generous lots, plus 18th- and 19th-century homes in the Cheshire Village historic district. Older clapboard needs more scraping, priming, and trim repair; newer homes are mostly about refreshing color and caulk.
A lot of Cheshire colonials are hitting their second roof and their first siding replacement at the same time. Doing both together lets us flash windows and roof edges once, properly.
Every Cheshire job gets a written fixed scope before work starts. For the full breakdown of materials, typical costs, and our process, see our exterior painting guide.
