Professional Painting for Cambridge Homeowners
Few things bring a Cambridge home back to life like professional painting tailored to its era. From Federal-style mansions to Victorian-era row houses, the homes in Cambridge carry stories in every layer of paint. Our team at Alfa Construction specializes in the careful preparation and premium finishes that older homes demand — sealing original woodwork, matching period-appropriate colors, and ensuring every coat bonds properly to surfaces that may be a century old.
In Cambridge, historic homes face a unique challenge: balancing preservation with modernization. You want your home to look fresh and current, but you do not want to lose the character that makes it special. Choosing the wrong sheen, applying paint over unstable surfaces, or ignoring lead paint protocols can create costly problems that diminish both the beauty and the value of your Cambridge property.
Alfa Construction brings a preservation-minded approach to every painting project in Cambridge. We carefully inspect existing surfaces, identify lead paint when present, and follow all Massachusetts regulations for safe removal or encapsulation. Our prep process preserves original woodwork and trim details while creating a stable foundation for paint that will protect your Cambridge home for years to come.
Painting Note for Cambridge
Cambridge's architecturally diverse neighborhoods, from Brattle Street's grand Colonials to Cambridgeport's Victorian multi-family homes, require painters with encyclopedic knowledge of period-appropriate finishes and color palettes.
Do not trust your Cambridge historic home to just any painting company. Alfa Construction brings the experience, materials, and attention to detail that older properties demand. From proper lead paint handling to color-matched period finishes, we do it right. Reach out today and let us show you the difference quality craftsmanship makes.

Our Painting Process in Cambridge
We follow a proven step-by-step process to deliver outstanding interior & exterior painting results for every Cambridge homeowner.
Free In-Home Estimate
We visit your home, discuss your vision, take measurements, and provide a detailed written estimate with no hidden fees. We bring color samples and offer honest recommendations.
Surface Preparation
Our crew fills nail holes, sands rough patches, caulks gaps around trim and windows, and primes any bare or stained surfaces. We cover furniture, protect floors with drop cloths, and tape edges for sharp lines.
Priming & First Coat
We apply a high-quality primer where needed, followed by the first coat of your chosen paint. We use brushes for detail areas and rollers for large surfaces, ensuring even coverage throughout.
Final Coat & Detail Work
A second (or third, if needed) coat is applied for rich, uniform color. We cut in around trim, outlets, and fixtures with precision, then inspect every surface under multiple lighting conditions.
Walkthrough & Cleanup
We walk through every painted area with you, touching up any spots on the spot. All tape, plastic, and drop cloths are removed, and we leave your home spotless — ready to enjoy immediately.
