Interior Painting for Historic Homes on the North Shore: the direct answer

Painting a historic home requires careful surface preparation, protection of original trim and plaster, compatible coatings, and a color plan that respects the architecture. The work should document existing conditions and address loose paint or substrate movement before applying new finish coats.

Protecting original details

Delicate moldings, built-ins, plaster, and old hardware need controlled prep and careful masking.

A practical project plan

Prioritize repairs, confirm coatings, establish a room sequence, and maintain clean access through the home.
