About Elizabeth House Painters
We’re a house painting company located in and serving Cambridge, Massachusetts and the surrounding Boston area. We specialize in residential painting including interior painting, exterior painting, and cabinet refinishing. That focus means we know these homes inside and out. Being local to Cambridge we’ve built real knowledge of the area’s older housing stock an dhow the City of Cambridge handles inspections and permitting on the jobs that need it. We are very familiar with layered oil-based finishes, original plaster and wood trim, and what a century of New England weather does to an exterior. We know what to expect when we walk into a house that was built a hundred years ago.

Your Trusted Local Painting Team
When you hire a painter you’re letting people into your home for a week or more so who shows up matters. Our crews are experienced, insured, and respectful of the fact that you still have to live there while we work. We protect your floors and furniture, clean up at the end of every day, and keep you in the loop on where we are and what’s next. You’ll get the same crew from start to finish not a rotating cast of subs. You’ll always know who to call if something comes up. That’s what most homeowners tell us they were missing from the last contractor they hired.
How We Work
Every project starts with an honest walkthrough. We look at the surfaces you want painted and check the condition of what’s already there. We will review with you what needs doing and why. You get a clear and itemized estimate up front with no surprises or no hidden fees. If the honest answer is that a room or an elevation can wait another year, we’ll tell you that too.
When the work begins you can rest easy knowing we’re fully insured on every job and RRP certified for pre-1978 homes. Painting is easy to cut corners on because so much of the real work gets covered up by the finish. We hold to one standard which is to treat your home like ours. We will ensure our professional team will install to the highest quality and if you’re not satisfied we’ll come back no questions asked to fix what you feel is incomplete. We protect your property during the work, show up when we say we will, and clean up before we leave.
Serving Cambridge and the Surrounding Area
We proudly serve Cambridge and the surrounding communities including Cambridgeport, Mid-Cambridge, West Cambridge, North Cambridge, East Cambridge, Somerville, Arlington, Belmont, Watertown, and Medford. Cambridge has some of the oldest housing stock in the entire country with close to half of local homes built before 1940. Many go back well into the 1800s. Painting a home like that takes a professional who has worked on the old plaster, the original wood siding, and the layers of oil-based finish time and time again. That’s the work we know best and it’s why we should be the local pros you call first and last.
Our Promise
We’re often not the cheapest option and we don’t pretend to be. When it comes to a finish that has to hold up on your home what you pay for is what you get. We don’t cut corners the way a lot of our competition does. What we offer is straight pricing, honest scope, quality work, and a finish built to hold through Cambridge winters and humid summers for years. If something isn’t right we’ll be honest with you and make it right. Our goal is simple. We will leave every home looking better than we found it.
