Exterior Painting right here in Quincy, Massachusetts.

Exterior repaints for Quincy homes — engineered for New England winters.
Quincy is one of the larger cities we serve — Victorian and Edwardian three-deckers throughout the older neighborhoods, restored 19th-century Adams family heritage homes (Quincy is the birthplace of two presidents), brick condos near downtown, mid-century capes in Wollaston, and waterfront customs in Marina Bay and Squantum.
Homes we paint in Quincy
Each exterior era weathers differently. The Quincy housing stock runs a wide range: Victorian and Edwardian three-deckers throughout the older neighborhoods, restored 19th-century Adams family heritage homes, brick condos near downtown, mid-century capes in Wollaston, and waterfront customs in Marina Bay and Squantum. We work across downtown Quincy, Wollaston, Squantum, Adams Shore, Marina Bay, and near Houghs Neck — adapting prep and product to each home's era and substrate rather than running every Quincy project through one process.
What our Quincy exterior process includes
- Two finish coats of Benjamin Moore Aura Exterior on wood, Sherwin-Williams Duration on vinyl/composite.
- Soft-wash or pressure-wash with mildew killer to clear chalking, dirt, and biological growth.
- Moisture-meter check before we prime so paint never goes over damp siding.
- Caulk every joint — failing caulk is cut out and replaced with siliconized acrylic.
- Scrape and sand any failing paint back to sound substrate.
Quincy-specific exterior considerations
Quincy's pre-1940 three-deckers carry lead-paint history; waterfront homes deal with extra salt air and humidity. We schedule Quincy exteriors mid-May through mid-October when temperature and humidity support proper paint cure. Pair an exterior with our deck staining in Quincy for a coordinated outdoor refresh.
Typical Massachusetts market pricing for Quincy-area exterior painting
Exterior repaints in Quincy, MA range from $3,500 to $28,000. Home size is the biggest variable; substrate (wood, vinyl, composite, brick) and prep depth are next. The ranges below reflect typical 2025–2026 Massachusetts contractor market pricing for licensed crews doing soft-wash, scrape and sand, spot-prime bare wood, full caulking, two coats of premium paint (Benjamin Moore Aura Exterior, Sherwin-Williams Duration), and a written workmanship warranty. Lead-safe (EPA RRP) work on pre-1978 homes typically adds 10-20%. AJ Painting prices each project individually after a free on-site walk-around — these market ranges are educational, not an AJ quote.

What pushes the Quincy price up or down
- Substrate — wood is most prep-heavy; vinyl + composite are fastest
- Prep depth — light wash vs scrape-back-to-substrate is 30%+ difference
- Elevation count — 2-story vs 3-story adds ladder + staging time
- Brick / stucco — paintable but require specific primer + 1.5x labor
- EPA RRP (pre-1978 lead-safe) — adds 10-20%, line-itemed separately
- Color change vs same-color refresh — 1 extra coat if going dramatically different

Answers from Quincy homeowners.
Do you work on Quincy waterfront homes?
Yes. Marina Bay and Squantum waterfront homes deal with salt air and humidity that accelerates exterior wear. We use marine-grade primer where appropriate and pick paint lines that resist salt corrosion.
Which Quincy neighborhoods do you serve?
We paint homes throughout Quincy — downtown Quincy, Wollaston, Squantum, Adams Shore, Marina Bay, and near Houghs Neck, and the surrounding streets. Same crew, same spec, and the same written warranty regardless of which Quincy neighborhood you're in.
What does an exterior repaint cost in Quincy?
Cost depends on home size, substrate (wood, vinyl, composite, brick), prep needed, and elevation count. Every project starts with a free on-site walk-around and a written line-itemized quote.
How long does an exterior paint job take in Quincy?
Typical Quincy exterior repaints run 5–10 working days depending on size, weather windows, and prep depth. We commit to a written timeline before mobilizing.
How much does it cost to paint a house exterior in Quincy, MA?
Exterior repaints in Quincy run $3,500-28,000. Medium 1,500-2,500 sqft homes are $6,500-12,000; large 2,500-3,500 sqft are $11,000-18,000. Wood siding costs more than vinyl (more prep), and 3-story homes add staging time. Pre-1978 homes need EPA RRP lead-safe practices — adds 10-20%.
Can a painter give a quote over the phone?
Reputable Massachusetts painters can share a ballpark range on the phone after asking about home size, substrate, and year built — useful for budget planning. But a line-itemed written quote requires a 20-minute on-site walk-around to spot rotted boards, failing caulk, lead-paint indicators, and the elevation count. AJ Painting's on-site visit is free with no obligation, and the written quote arrives within 48 hours.
How long does an exterior repaint last in Quincy, MA?
Wood siding with proper prep: 8-12 years before the next full repaint. Vinyl and composite: 10-15+ years. AJ Painting carries a written workmanship warranty — exact terms (coverage, duration, exclusions) are confirmed in writing on every signed estimate before work begins. Beyond that, normal weathering (UV fade, minor caulk maintenance) is expected — that's where touch-ups or spot-repaints make sense, not a full repaint.
