Can you identify the key to a beautiful, lasting exterior paint finish? Many people are surprised to learn that it isn't found in using quality paint alone, or proper application techniques (as important as those things are). The key to an enduring finish is skilled, thorough surface preparation. Pressure washing, scraping, stripping, sanding-it's dirty, hard, but necessary work. In fact, more than fifty percent of the time spent working on a home's exterior finish should be devoted to surface preparation.

Historic and antique homes speak of proportion, scale and form. At Catchlight, we specialize in historic home restoration and painting that restores the original, inherent character and beauty in these important pieces of New England history. We don't just paint surfaces; we care for and restore them. From lathe, horsehair plaster and calcimine ceilings, to ship lap clapboards and scalloped shingles, the interior and exterior surfaces of historic homes have a distinct composition and coating history.

Preparing your walls is an important part of the wallpapering process. In addition to carefully cleaning your walls, we check the surface for absorbency, firmness and dampness. All imperfections are removed or repaired before papering begins so the paper will adhere properly and lie flat against the wall. Hanging wallpaper correctly is part art, part science, and requires a methodical approach to ensure the proper result. Our trained and experienced wallpaper hangers will make sure the paper is cut and hung straight with tight, nearly invisible seams and properly matched patterns.

With thoughtful attention to every detail and a skilled and experienced crew of painting professionals, Catchlight specializes in sensitively restoring older homes to their original beauty and grandeur. Ice dam repair, power washing and light carpentry. These are just a few of Catchlight's extended services, each delivered with the same skill and attention to detail you have come to expect from our professional team.

We offer power washing services independent of painting because in some cases the accumulation of street dust and mildew makes the paint look much worse than it actually is. We have experienced times when a client has initially asked us for a painting estimate after we painted their neighbor's home. After a careful inspection of the exterior, we discovered that the home simply needed washing. Prior painting bids from other painting companies were $25,000; our power washing cost less than $1,000.

Today's kitchens are at the center of any home, the preferred gathering spot for family and friends. When kitchen cabinets are properly prepared and a cabinet-specific paint color is applied, the results are guaranteed to be durable, washable, and long-lasting. At Catchlight, we apply paint either by spraying which provides a smooth, flawless appearance, or by brush, which is more traditional. The choice is purely aesthetic and a matter of personal preference. Refinishing kitchen cabinets is typically done on location to minimize handling and logistics.

Regardless of whether you use a garage for your car, or simply use it for storage, applying a durable and practical epoxy floor coating to unfinished concrete will add interest, color and protection, transforming a garage from strictly a utility space to one that looks more professional as it better protected from wear and tear. Different from typical garage floor paint which is an acrylic product, epoxy floors are a combination of epoxy resin and polyamine hardener, the latter giving the surface its strength and durability.

This is the hallmark of quality that defines our commercial painting services. Whether your project is occupied or unoccupied, interior or exterior, you can expect professional painters, attention paid to every detail and an extraordinary level of service. Painting a commercial building comes with unique challenges for the property owner: inconvenience to tenants/employees, workflow disruptions, noise and odor concerns. Our flexible scheduling and robust back office support ensures a smooth and successful project while respecting your property and those who work in it.
