Wood Restoration in Allston, Boston MA
Clean, treat, repair and refinish rather than replace, where the wood is still sound.
How this plays out in Allston
Full envelope work is common in Allston. Almost every lease in Allston ends on the same day. Units get patched, primed and painted in a matter of days, not weeks, and everyone in the trade is booked at once. Strip, repair, prime, and rebuild the finish properly.
What actually happens on site
Clean, treat, repair and refinish rather than replace, where the wood is still sound.
Clean, treat, consolidate what's salvageable and replace only what isn't. Old-growth siding and trim is denser than anything you can buy now, and it's worth keeping where it's still sound.
Where these jobs go wrong
Replacing original wood that only needed cleaning and consolidation. You lose the profile and the material quality and gain nothing.
