Exterior Painting in Naugatuck, Connecticut
Naugatuck is a borough built around its historic town green and the old rubber-company mills along the river. About 7 miles — roughly 12 minutes — from our Waterbury office.
Exterior Painting for Naugatuck homes
Exterior painting in Naugatuck means painting 1900s–1930s two-families near the center, Union City capes, hillside colonials, and 1960s–1980s raised ranches on the outer streets. Older clapboard needs more scraping, priming, and trim repair; newer homes are mostly about refreshing color and caulk.
Naugatuck's valley sides take hard winds and long-lasting ice. We run ice & water shield well past the code minimum on north-facing slopes and on any roof with valleys over an entry.
Every Naugatuck 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.
