Ceiling Repair in Back Bay, Boston MA
Source of the water gets confirmed first. Then remove, replace, texture-match and stain-block.
How this plays out in Back Bay
Wall surfaces in Back Bay are mostly what the original builders put up. Deep casings, plaster cornices and original doors. Interior work here is brushwork and patience, not production painting. We match the substrate rather than skimming compound over it and hoping.
Our process
Source of the water gets confirmed first. Then remove, replace, texture-match and stain-block.
The leak gets confirmed dry before anything else happens. Then damaged board out, new board in, taped, texture-matched, and sealed with a shellac primer so the old stain can't bleed through the new finish.
The mistake we get called to fix
Repairing a water-damaged ceiling while the source is still active. It looks fixed for a month and then reappears in the same place, usually worse.
