Cambridge’s buildings are as varied as its squares and neighborhoods: a condo in Cambridgeport, a three-family in North Cambridge, apartments near Central Square, a grand house off Brattle Street. Close to half of the city’s homes were built before 1940, and most residents live in multifamily buildings, so painting here calls for a crew that is comfortable with plaster walls, tight stairwells, shared hallways, and neighbors on the other side of the wall. As painters in Cambridge, MA, Prestige Painting Inc brings more than 30 years of experience and a fully insured team to every job, big or small. Our promise hasn’t changed: we do it right the first time. Nobody does it better.

Interior Painting for Cambridge Homes and Condos
Many Cambridge painting projects start indoors, which makes sense in a city where so many people live in condos, apartments, and two- and three-family homes. Interior painting in Cambridge, MA often means working around a tight schedule, a shared entry, or a tenant who still needs to use the kitchen. We plan the room order with you, keep work areas contained, and clean up daily so your home stays livable.
Older Cambridge interiors also have quirks. Horsehair plaster develops hairline cracks, decades of paint build up on window sashes and door casings, and ceilings in pre-war units can be high and uneven. Before any color goes on, we fill and skim cracks, sand glossy surfaces, spot-prime repairs, and protect floors and built-ins. Then we cut sharp lines at ceilings, trim, and baseboards. We paint walls, ceilings, doors, trim, stairwells, and common hallways, and we can suggest finishes that clean up easily in kitchens, baths, and high-traffic entries.
For landlords and condo associations: turnover painting between tenants, refreshing shared stairwells and lobbies, and repainting units on a predictable schedule are all part of what we do.
Exterior Painting in Cambridge
Cambridge exteriors range from wood-sided triple-deckers to historic homes in West Cambridge, where the stately houses along Brattle Street’s “Tory Row” have stood for generations. Many of these buildings have tall elevations, deep porches, and layers of older paint that the New England freeze-thaw cycle steadily works loose.
Good exterior painting in Cambridge, MA comes down to preparation and access. We power wash siding and trim, scrape and sand failing paint, use light carpentry to repair rotted sills and trim boards, caulk open seams, and prime bare wood. On narrow lots, we take extra care to protect neighboring properties and plantings. The payoff is a finish that sheds water, holds its color, and keeps your building looking sharp from the sidewalk.
Cabinet Painting
A Cambridge condo kitchen is often small, and replacing cabinets can mean weeks of disruption. Painting them is a faster, more affordable way to change the look of the room. We degrease, sand, and prime boxes, doors, and drawer fronts, then build up a smooth, durable topcoat that stands up to daily use.
Commercial Painting in Cambridge
Cambridge’s business life is spread across its squares, from the shops and restaurants of Harvard, Central, Inman, and Porter Squares to the office and lab buildings around Kendall Square’s tech and biotech cluster. Prestige Painting works with offices, retail stores, warehouses, fitness centers, and property management companies. We schedule around business hours to limit disruption and keep job sites tidy in busy, walkable areas. For property managers with multiple buildings, we aim for consistent colors and quality from one property to the next.
