I spied a truck pulling up to the neighbor’s house and watched as the crew began work tidying up the small colonial on our block. I began to feel a little impatient as I was waiting to start our own exterior paint job. Later that same day a friend called saying that a customer of ours called her and excitedly exclaimed, “The painters are here! The painters are here!” As an adult, having a contractor show up is a little like a child seeing the ice cream truck pulling onto their street. You’ve been waiting, and they’re finally here. It’s such a relief to finally see the work get started. When choosing ice cream it’s easy to figure out if you’ll like what’s behind the wrapper. With painting contractors, it’s a little trickier. Case and point: we were called to give a painting estimate in Hopkinton. This beautiful house had just been painted a few years ago, but was showing unusual wear and tear. When we began to scrape, the paint began coming off in sheets. The previous painters wanted to do a quick and dirty job and improperly prepped and primed the house. This customer only two years later is paying to scrape and paint the entire house AGAIN! If you’re in the Boston area or the Metro West and in need of residential painting, there is still time to squeeze in that exterior job. Consider us if you need to repaint your trim or even scrape and change your paint color. With Optimus Painting, you are making an investment. Rest assured that the job will be done...

On the early morning ferry to Nantucket, I peeked out the porthole and saw the beautiful gray-green waves foaming and splashing and the first thought that sprang to mind was paint. Not just any paint, but C2’s luminous neutral, Dorian Gray. Granted, I think of residential paint more than the average person, but I am truly captivated by it. Choosing colors for your home interior can be a daunting process, and after much consideration we chose Dorian Gray for our bedroom walls (Benjamin Moore’s Quiet Moments was at the top of the list, but we love the quality of C2 paints). C2 promised, “Like glittering sunlight on sparkling sand or the lustrous glow of a pearly shell, each of our handcrafted colors contains its own shimmering spectrum. The use of 16 unique artist-grade pigments results in unparalleled reflectivity, radiance and luminosity.” And, they delivered. I’m enchanted. We spent the first few days remarking, depending on the time of day and the light, on the colors that were peeking through: gray, pale-green, or steely-blue. The room feels serene, peaceful and elegant. It’s the perfect color for a wide open space or a room where tranquility is paramount. I consider it our interior paint color of the year for 2013. Just like Oscar Wilde’s protagonist, this color never gets old. -Melanie Sabtchev ...
