House Painters in Swarthmore, PA

Swarthmore is a small borough built around its college. It was laid out as a planned railroad suburb in the nineteenth century and it kept both the plan and the trees, which gives it a settled, wooded character quite unlike the denser boroughs down toward the river.

Housing is substantial: large frame, stucco and stone houses on generous lots, with porches, dormers and tall elevations. The college and the borough between them also generate a steady amount of institutional and rental work alongside the family housing.

What gets asked for in Swarthmore

What we see on Swarthmore houses

  • Tall frame houses under heavy canopy

    Large wood-framed buildings in permanent shade hold moisture in the woodwork. The combination of height and damp is the defining exterior problem in this borough and it is why the wash comes first.

  • Faculty and rental turnover

    A share of the housing turns over on the academic calendar. That work runs to a date, needs a durable specification, and gets scheduled well in advance rather than fitted in.

  • Institutional interiors

    Corridors, stairwells and common rooms take traffic no family home approaches. The specification has to survive it, and the work has to happen when the buildings are empty.

  • Owners who care what goes on the building

    This is a borough where people ask what the product is and why. Being able to explain the preparation and the specification honestly matters more here than a fast number does.

Why customers pick us

What stands behind the work is the insurance and a local owner-operated company that quotes every job from a real look at the building. Read what customers wrote on Google, or read how the business started.
