Painting and Remodeling in Randolph
Randolph grew fast from the 1970s through the 1990s, and many of its neighborhoods are full of colonials, split-levels and bi-levels from those decades. They are well-built houses with good bones, and a lot of them are now on their second or third owner and ready for their first real update. That is the work we do most in Randolph.
Updating a House From the 70s, 80s or 90s
The same few things date these homes: honey oak kitchen cabinets and trim, builder-grade paint colors, dark paneled basements and original exterior trim that has started to soften at the bottom. None of it needs a full gut. The most common updates we do are:
- Cabinet painting to turn oak cabinets white, gray or navy, often with a new backsplash and hardware.
- Painting oak trim and doors throughout the house, which brightens every room at once.
- Basement finishing to turn an unfinished or dated lower level into a family room or home bar.
- Exterior painting with rotted trim and sills replaced first.
Painting Oak Trim
Painting stained oak trim is one of the biggest visual changes you can make to a house of this era, and it is easy to do badly. Oak has an open grain that shows through paint, and the old finish needs cleaning, sanding and a bonding primer before the topcoats. Done properly, the trim looks crisp and stays that way.

Questions From Randolph Homeowners
Very often, yes. Many homes in Randolph were built with solid oak cabinets that are still in good shape but look dated. Painting them with a sprayed finish, often with a new backsplash and hardware, changes the kitchen for a fraction of the cost of new cabinets.
Yes. We frame, drywall, trim and paint basements, and build bars and built-ins. We check for moisture first and walk you through what your permit needs before anything is built.
Yes. We wash, scrape, repair and prime before painting, and replace rotted trim and sills with our own carpenters, which is common on homes of this age.
