Marlborough sits quietly in the eastern corner of Hartford County — a small, largely rural community where homes tend to sit on larger wooded lots, away from the suburban density of towns closer to Hartford. That setting creates its own painting challenges. Homes here are often more exposed to the elements: more shade from surrounding trees means moisture lingers on wood surfaces longer, and the temperature swings that come with a Connecticut winter are just as hard on paint here as anywhere else in the state. E D Painting has been serving Marlborough and the surrounding eastern Hartford County area since 2004, and we know how to approach homes in this part of Connecticut correctly.

Whether you're dealing with peeling exterior paint after a rough winter, refreshing the interior of a home that hasn't been painted in years, or maintaining a property on a rural road, we'll give you a fair written estimate and a result that holds up. We don't rush prep to save time — and on older homes with layered paint, extensive wood trim, and weathered surfaces, the prep is everything.

Painting Services We Offer in Marlborough

• Exterior House Painting — Complete surface preparation and painting for wood siding, trim, shutters, doors, and all exterior surfaces. Homes in wooded, rural settings often have more moisture and mildew to address before painting begins — we assess conditions honestly and prep accordingly.
• Interior House Painting — Thorough interior work with full floor and furniture protection. Clean crews, no mess left behind, and a finish that looks right in a room that sees real use.
• Aluminum & Vinyl Siding Painting — Many Marlborough homes have aluminum or vinyl siding that's faded or showing its age. Done correctly — with proper cleaning, etching, and priming — painted siding holds up well and is a fraction of replacement cost.
• Power Washing — Essential before exterior painting, especially on homes in wooded areas where mildew and algae accumulate on north-facing surfaces. Also available as a standalone service for siding and hard surfaces.
• Wallpaper Removal — Older homes in Marlborough often have original or dated wallpaper. We remove it fully and prepare walls properly before painting begins.
• Commercial Painting — For businesses and commercial properties in the Marlborough area. Scheduled around your operating hours with minimal disruption.

Why Marlborough Homeowners Choose E D Painting

• Experience with rural and older homes — homes in eastern Hartford County towns like Marlborough typically have more complex exterior conditions than newer suburban construction: exposed wood trim, older painted surfaces, possible lead paint on pre-1978 homes, and moisture issues from tree coverage. We assess all of this before any prep plan is finalized.
• Over 20 years serving Hartford County — in business since 2004, based in West Hartford, and serving communities across the county and beyond. We're fully local and accountable.
• Fully licensed and insured — CT Home Improvement Contractor HIC.0632297. Never hire a painter who can't show you a current license and certificate of insurance — the liability if something goes wrong is yours if they can't.
• Honest, detailed prep — scraping all failing paint, treating mildew and staining, priming bare wood, and caulking gaps before any finish coat is applied. On homes that have seen some deferred maintenance, this step is where the real work happens — and it's not something we cut short.
• Written estimates, no surprises — we provide clear, itemized quotes. What we write down is what you pay, unless the scope of the job changes with your agreement.

Our Process

1. Free on-site estimate — we come to Marlborough, walk the project with you, and provide a written quote. For exterior jobs especially, we take the time to look carefully at surface conditions before committing to a number.
2. Surface preparation — on homes in wooded, rural settings, this means power washing first to remove mildew and surface buildup, then scraping all failing paint, sanding edges smooth, treating any bare or damaged wood, priming exposed surfaces, and caulking all gaps around trim and windows. This is the foundation the paint job is built on.
3. Application — the right tools and technique for each surface. We take the time to do it correctly, not quickly.
4. Daily cleanup — your property is respected throughout the job. We tidy up at the end of every workday.
5. Final walkthrough — we walk the completed work with you before we consider the job done. Any touch-up items are handled before we leave for the last time.
