You already know a lot is asked of our home’s exteriors here in New England. From freezing temps to humid summers, spring rain to coastal salt exposure, the conditions can (and will!) take a real toll.


That’s where the right exterior paint job comes in. 


At ELCO Painting, we don’t just paint houses—we build finishes designed to stand the test of time. From your first call to the final walkthrough, we work carefully, cleanly, and respectfully, making the process smooth and the results something you’ll love for years to come.


Here’s what we bring to every project:


  • Exceptional surface preparation for longer-lasting finishes
  • Expert repairs to address wood rot, weather damage, and aging surfaces
  • Professional-grade primers and paints built for New England’s toughest weather
  • Careful scheduling and communication to keep your project on track
