What Are The Benefits of Using Professional House Painters?
When you paint the outside of your home yourself, you risk making mistakes. While a quality paint job increases your home’s curb appeal, a bad one does the opposite. You get these benefits when you hire professional exterior painters:
Professional Results
A professional paint job adds value to your home and lasts longer than an amateur paint job. Professionals also save you time and money.

Exterior Painters Who Emphasizes Preparation for a Magnificent Finish
Prep work comes first in a quality painting project. Before we apply paint to your exterior surface, we:
- Clean the surface with power washing and scraping
- Check to see if the area needs sanding or patching
- Inspect the surface for rot, mold, or other issues
Our thorough process ensures beautiful and lasting results. We inspect the work area first, which may uncover hidden problems. In professional exterior painting services, we know that a solid start is the key to a fantastic finish.
When we complete the job, we check for flakes, debris, and chips. We also clean up the area and leave it the way we found it.
Exterior painting preparation helps everything go smoothly. We plan well and keep you informed so that you can have peace of mind.

House Painting Tips
No matter the size of your house, painting it is a big undertaking. These exterior house painting tips will help you get the best result:
- Buy quality tools. While you want to save money, you don’t want a cheap-looking home. Invest in a few synthetic-bristle brushes with different edges. You should also buy a heavy-duty roller, paint cans, and a bucket.
- Watch the weather. If you paint in direct sunlight, the heat will dry your paint too fast. You also don’t want to paint when you have a risk of high winds or rain. Check the paint label to see the recommended environment.
- Check for lead. If you have an old home or building, you may want to get a lead test kit to avoid exposing yourself or others to lead paint.
- Clean the exterior. Dirt and grime will ruin your fresh paint. Use a cleaner that works on mildew or hire a professional power washer.
When you hire us for exterior painting services, we’ll take care of all of these items for you.
How to Choose Exterior House Paint Colors
Your interior colors typically reflect your style. With the outside of your home, you also have to keep in mind:
- Durability
- The colors of your patio or other accents
- Trim color
- Neighborhood
- Climate
When choosing exterior house paint colors, plan to invest in a premium brand that resists stains and weather. If you have brick or stone near your home, try picking one of their underlying tones. You can choose an opposing color instead of a complementary one—for example, a warm color to contrast with a cooler tone.
Try using an online tool that will recommend coordinating or matching colors. These tools help you visualize the finished look with different color combos.
Finally, buy several test paints. Make sure you test colors on different sides of your home to see them in various lightings. Once you see the colors on your home, you can make a better judgment on which one looks best.

Mashpee ( Wampanoag: Mâseepee) is a town in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States, on Cape Cod. The population was 15,060 as of 2020. The town is the site of the headquarters and most members of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, one of two federally recognized Wampanoag groups.
For geographic and demographic information on specific parts of the town of Mashpee, please see the articles on Mashpee Neck, Monomoscoy Island, New Seabury, Popponesset, Popponesset Island, Seabrook, and Seconsett Island.
History
Cape Cod was occupied for more than ten thousand years by indigenous peoples. The historic Algonquian-speaking Wampanoag were the native people encountered by the English colonists here and in the area of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the seventeenth century. The Wampanoag also controlled considerable coastal area. These two cultures would interact, shaping each other for decades.
After English colonists arrived, they began to settle the area of present-day Mashpee in 1658 with the assistance of the missionary Richard Bourne, from the neighboring town of Sandwich. In 1660 the colonists allowed those Christian Wampanoag who had been converted about 50 square miles (130 km) in the English settlement. Beginning in 1665, the Wampanoag governed themselves with a court of law and trials according to English custom (they had long governed themselves according to their own customs).
Following their defeat in King Philip’s War (1675–1676), the Wampanoag of the mainland were resettled with the Sakonnet in present-day Rhode Island. Others of the people were brought, together with the Nauset, into the praying towns, such as Mashpee, in Barnstable County. There were also Wampanoag on Martha’s Vineyard and other areas.
The colonists designated Mashpee on Cape Cod as the largest Indian reservation in Massachusetts. The town’s name is an Anglicization of a native name, mass-nippe: mass is “great”, or “greater” (see Massachusetts), and nippe is “water”. The name has been translated as “the greater cove” or “great pond,” or “land near great cove”, where the water being referenced is Wakeby Pond, which is greater at one end.
In the year 1763, the British Crown designated Mashpee as a plantation, against the will of the Wampanoag. Designation as a plantation meant that the area governed by the Mashpee Wampanoag was integrated into the colonial district of Mashpee. The colony gave the natives the “right” to elect their own officials to maintain order in their area, but otherwise subjected them to colonial government. The population of the plantation declined steadily due to the conditions placed upon the Wampanoag. They also suffered from encroachment on their lands by the English.
Following the American Revolutionary War, the town in 1788 revoked Mashpee self-government, which European-American officials considered a failure. They appointed a committee, consisting of five European-American members, to supervise the Mashpee. William Apess, a Pequot Methodist preacher, helped the Mashpee Wampanoag lead a peaceful protest of this action, and the governor threatened a military response.
In 1834, the state returned a certain level of self-government to the Wampanoag, although they were not completely autonomous. With the idea that emulating European-American farming would encourage assimilation, in 1842 the state broke up some of the Wampanoag communal land. It distributed 2,000 acres (8.1 km) of their 13,000-acre (53 km2) property in allotments of 60-acre (240,000 m) parcels to heads of households, so that each family could have individual ownership for subsistence farming.
The legislature passed laws against the encroachments on Wampanoag land by European Americans, but did not enforce them. The competing settlers also stole wood from the reservation. It was a large region, once rich in wood, fish and game, and desired by white settlers, who envied the growing community of Mashpee. The Mashpee Indians suffered more conflicts with their white neighbors than did other more isolated or less desirable Indian settlements in the state.
In 1870 the state approved the incorporation of Mashpee as a town, the second-to-last jurisdiction on the Cape to undergo the process. Ultimately the Wampanoag lost control of their land and self-government. Many of their descendants remain in the area and identify as Mashpee by their communal culture.
In the early 1970s, the Mashpee reorganized and filed a land claim against the state for the loss of lands. While they ultimately did not win their case, the Mashpee continued to develop as an organized community and gained federal recognition as a tribe in 2007.
Today the town of Mashpee is known both for tourist recreation and for its distinctive minority Wampanoag culture. The population is predominately European American in ancestry. As the town attracts numerous summer visitors, there are many seasonal businesses and service jobs to support this tourism.
The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe has its headquarters here. In 2015 the Department of Interior evaluated taking into trust 170 acres (0.69 km) in Mashpee as a reservation for the Wampanoag, who already controlled the land, however in 2018 the request was ultimately rejected. This decision also applied to the 150 acres (0.61 km) in Taunton, Massachusetts, which the Wampanoag tribe had acquired.
That action was challenged in October 2016 by a United States District Court decision, reached after a suit was filed earlier that year by opponents to Mashpee Wampanoag’s plans to build a gaming casino on their Taunton land.
The Wampanoag hold an annual pow-wow at which they display both modern and traditional activities and crafts.
