Exterior painting in New England demands more than paint. Boston's climate — freeze-thaw cycles, high humidity, coastal salt air on the North Shore, and UV exposure — degrades exterior coatings faster than most of the country. The right products, proper surface preparation, and correct application method are non-negotiable for lasting results.
Smooth applies exterior coatings to wood siding, trim, masonry, stucco, vinyl, aluminum, and metal surfaces throughout Boston and New England. We specify products rated for the specific substrate and exposure conditions — not the cheapest option available.
