If a powdery film rubs off onto the cloth (chalking), the paint has degraded from seasonal sun exposure and must be thoroughly washed off before repainting.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Inspect the caulking joints where your trim meets the siding.

In coastal areas like Marblehead, exterior wood faces intense sea-salt exposure and historic-district guidelines. Contractors apply a breathable acrylic paint with a mildew-resistant additive (mildewcide-fortified acrylic) to protect original clapboards while meeting local color standards and obtaining a historic-district board's sign-off on the exterior color and finish (a certificate of appropriateness).\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Interior restoration of plaster and lath. Many older multifamily buildings in Worcester feature original plaster walls rather than modern gypsum boards.

Ask candidates how they plan to schedule exterior work around our local humidity and freezing temperatures, especially in mountain areas like the Berkshires where painters must check wood moisture levels before starting.
