How it works
How does a painting project work?
Four steps, the same on every job.
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.
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.
Prep & Paint
Floors, furniture and plantings are covered. Surfaces are washed, scraped, sanded, patched, caulked and primed, then finished in two coats.
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.
Scope
What we do and what we don’t
Clear scope prevents surprises. Anything outside painting and trim-level carpentry is referred to the right licensed trade.

| Structural framing, load-bearing posts | No | Referred to a licensed builder; may need a permit |
| Roofing, gutters, siding replacement | No | Referred to the right trade |

Home built before 1978? Lead-safe prep comes first
Many Worcester-area homes were painted with lead paint before it was banned for residential use in 1978. In Massachusetts, paid renovation, repair and painting work that disturbs painted surfaces in pre-1978 homes must be done by a state-licensed lead-safe renovation contractor using containment, no dry sanding or open-flame burning, and HEPA clean-up.
Ask any painter you hire for their lead-safe renovation license when you get your estimate. Lead abatement (deleading) is a separate, specially licensed service.
Official sources
Good to know: this is a plain-English summary for homeowners, not legal advice. State and town rules can change, so check the official source or your town’s building department for the current requirements. Rico Painting will walk you through what applies to your home at the estimate.
Why Worcester owners choose us
Built for older New England homes
Worcester’s housing is old and varied: three-deckers with stacked porches, Victorians on the hills, Capes and Colonials in the surrounding towns, and mid-century ranches and split-levels. Most have plaster walls, many layers of paint, and wood trim that takes a beating from snow and ice.
That is why the work here starts with prep: washing, scraping, priming bare wood, caulking joints and fixing rot before color goes on. And it is why lead-safe practices matter on pre-1978 homes.
