Hingham expects a higher finish than most towns, and rightly so. Between the historic homes along Main Street, the harbour-front properties, and the retail and office space around Derby Street, this is a town where a Level 4 finish is often not good enough and the specification calls for Level 5.
Critical lighting is the recurring issue here. Large windows facing the water, long uninterrupted wall runs, and the semi-gloss and high-gloss paints common in these homes will all expose a mediocre finish. We skim-coat and inspect under raking light before we call a Hingham job done.
