## Interior Painting in Meriden, CT

Gagnon Painting & Decorating has painted Connecticut interiors since 1977, and Meriden sits just southeast of our Southington shop — close enough that Hubbard Park, the city's 1,803-acre landmark, actually extends into Southington and Berlin. About 75.4% of Meriden's homes were built in 1979 or earlier, so interior work here usually starts with preparation rather than color.

We are an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm.

## What should I expect painting inside an older Meriden home?

Expect the preparation to be the job. Of Meriden's 26,585 housing units, 20,042 — 75.4% — were built in 1979 or earlier, and 7,093 predate 1940. The city has genuinely old fabric: the Solomon Goffe House of 1711 still stands, and it is the oldest house in Meriden.

In practice, pre-war interiors here mean lath-and-plaster walls, deeper and more elaborate trim profiles than a modern house carries, and a paint history several layers deep. Each of those changes the sequence. Plaster wants its cracks addressed rather than filled at the surface. Heavy trim profiles hold their existing paint in the detail and want careful preparation rather than a fast sand. And a home built before 1978 brings the EPA's lead-safe requirements into scope for any paid work that disturbs painted surfaces.

About 18.6% of Meriden's housing sits in two-to-four unit buildings, so multi-family interiors are ordinary work here too.
