01 /Core services

Painting services Worcester homeowners ask us for

From one bedroom to a full three-decker exterior, the job is the same: protect the home, prepare every surface properly, and leave a finish that lasts.

02 /Why homeowners choose us

Paint that lasts, without the chaos.

Most paint failures in Central Massachusetts come from skipped prep, not bad paint. Everything about how these jobs are run is built around doing the prep properly and keeping your home clean while it happens.

Written, itemized estimates

You see every room, surface and repair priced before work starts, so you can add or drop items.

Prep that survives winter

Washing, scraping, sanding, priming bare wood, caulking joints and fixing rot first. That is what stops peeling.

Clean, protected job sites

Floors, furniture and plantings covered; daily tidy-up; the room put back when it is done.

Built for older Worcester homes

Three-deckers, plaster walls, stacked porches and many paint layers. Lead-safe prep where the house predates 1978.

Rot found and priced first

Soft wood is shown to you, photographed and priced before any extra carpentry happens.

A final walkthrough

You walk the job with the painter, and touch-ups are finished before the crew leaves.

03 /The process

Four steps from estimate to walkthrough.

The same sequence on every job, from a single bedroom to a full exterior.

01

Request an Estimate

Fill in the short form, call, or text photos of the rooms, siding or cabinets. Tell us the town, the timeline and roughly what needs painting.

02

Walkthrough & Written Quote

The painter looks at the surfaces, checks for rot, peeling and (in pre-1978 homes) lead-safe needs, and gives you a written, itemized estimate.

03

Prep & Paint

Floors, furniture and plantings are covered. Surfaces are washed, scraped, sanded, patched, caulked and primed, then finished in two coats.

04

Walkthrough & Clean-Up

You walk the job with the painter, touch-ups are marked and finished, and the site is left clean. Payment terms are the ones on your estimate.

09 /Estimates & payment

Know the price before the first brush stroke.

Worry about the final bill is the most common reason people put off painting. Here is how pricing works.

Written, itemized estimate

Every room, elevation and repair is listed with its price. Nothing starts until you approve it.

Hidden rot priced first

If scraping uncovers rot, you see it and approve the repair price before any carpentry.

Colors and products named

The estimate lists colors, sheens and the paint line, so you know exactly what goes on your walls.

Clear payment terms

A 30% down payment, due only when the job starts. Payment terms are written on your estimate. No financing is available at this time.

Rico Painting does. When you request an estimate, Rico Painting walks the job, writes the estimate, schedules the work and paints it, from first call to final walkthrough. About Rico Painting.

Every job starts with a written, itemized estimate. On-site estimates are free and scheduled by appointment. For a quick price first, text photos of the project.

Older paint may contain lead. In Massachusetts, paid work that disturbs paint in pre-1978 homes must follow lead-safe rules and be done by a licensed lead-safe renovation contractor. Read the lead paint guide.

From late spring into early fall, on dry days within the temperature range on the paint label. Booking in late winter gets the best schedule. Full guide.
