Residential Exterior Painting
Don’t just paint your home. Protect your home with exceptional surface preparation and proven products.

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
Why the Right Exterior Paint Job Matters
Preparation Makes All the Difference
Without proper prep, even the best paint won’t last. We take the time to do it right, so your home stays protected longer.
Protection from Harsh Weather
Our techniques and materials are chosen specifically for New England’s unique challenges.
A Smoother, Easier Experience
We respect your home, your time, and your trust—keeping you informed and making the process as easy as possible from start to finish.
Did you know…
We don’t just paint—we repair too.
ELCO Painting offers in-house carpentry services to handle wood rot, trim damage, siding repairs, and other exterior issues before we paint. That means fewer contractors to manage, a smoother timeline, and better results.
Because great painting starts with solid surfaces.
No stress. No surprises. Just the next-level painting experience you deserve.
