Shingled Victorian - Sommerville, Massachusetts

BEFORE
A Shingled house in its old brown tone, likely painted that color in the 1960s. This bland monochrometic color choice does nothing to highlight the lovely Victorian architecture.

Extensive testing of period colors by the owner helped us finalize on a new stunning multi-color scheme to revive this home.

AFTER being repainted
Sommerville, Massachusetts now has a new Landmark. "A passing policeman, speaking to our contractor’s project manager called the renovation of the house ‘a glorious transformation,’ I think that sums up very well Glenn’s and my feelings as well as those of the community around us." Carol Freeman. The colors were drawn from a late Victorian paint brochure. The combination was recommended by the paint company for this specific style of building. Those period colors were matched to a modern, locally available paint.
