Painting Hawthorne homes
Hawthorne's residential streets include capes, colonials and small multi-families. We repaint interiors and exteriors, repair drywall and plaster, and install trim with caulked, clean joints.
Local tips for Hawthorne
- Capes and small colonials mean lots of trim footage — budget time for caulking, it's what makes lines look crisp.
- Plaster walls crack along seams and corners; tape and skim rather than filling with spackle alone.
- Exterior wood windows need a sealed bottom rail — that edge sheds water and fails first.
