House Painters in Wallingford, PA

Wallingford sits between Media and Swarthmore. It grew as a railroad suburb for people working in Philadelphia, and it was built at a comfortable scale from the start: large houses, large lots, and planting that has had a century to mature.

The stock runs from late Victorian through arts and crafts and into the 1920s and 1930s. Shingle, stucco, stone and frame, often several of them on the same building, with deep eaves, exposed rafter tails, sleeping porches and a great deal of exterior woodwork.

What gets asked for in Wallingford

What we see on Wallingford houses

  • Shingle and stucco on the same elevation

    Houses of this period commonly mix materials by story. Each one wants different preparation and sometimes a different product, and treating the elevation as a single surface is how these buildings get a finish that fails unevenly.

  • Exposed rafter tails and deep eaves

    Arts and crafts detailing puts a lot of end grain and awkward geometry under the roofline. It takes water, it is slow to reach, and it is consistently the worst-condition wood on the house.

  • A hundred years of tree cover

    Mature planting keeps whole faces of these buildings permanently shaded. Moss and algae take hold, wood stays damp, and washing and treating comes before any coating.

  • Sleeping porches and enclosed additions

    Porches enclosed at some point over the last century are usually built lighter than the main house and weather faster. They are their own job within the job and get quoted that way.
