Painters for Hobson Village's Colonial and Tudor Revival homes

Housing in Hobson Village

Late-1970s Colonials and Tudors with original woodwork

Hobson Village went up between 1975 and 1981, and its houses are mostly Colonial and Tudor Revival designs on winding, wooded streets. Inside, many still have the honey oak trim, doors and cabinets of the era; outside, wood and cedar siding, half-timbering on the Tudors, and paneled front doors.

Oak turning white is the classic job here, and it needs a stain-blocking primer so the tannins do not bleed through. Outside, Tudor half-timbering and stucco panels need careful cut lines and products suited to each surface, and shaded lots mean washing before paint.
