Wood Restoration in Back Bay, Boston MA
Clean, treat, repair and refinish rather than replace, where the wood is still sound.
Back Bay specifics
Full envelope work is common in Back Bay. One of Boston's strictest. Exterior changes visible from a public way require Architectural Commission approval, including paint colours on trim, doors and window sash. Strip, repair, prime, and rebuild the finish properly.
Our process
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.
What usually fails
Replacing original wood that only needed cleaning and consolidation. You lose the profile and the material quality and gain nothing.
