Painter in Boston, MA
Boston has some of the oldest housing stock in the country. A third of the city's homes went up before 1940, which means lead paint, plaster walls, and wood that has been through a hundred New England winters.
What We're Usually Painting in Boston
Everything from Federal-era brick rowhouses downtown to 1890s three-deckers in Dorchester to postwar capes in West Roxbury. Almost none of it is new.
A mix of owner-occupants in the outer neighborhoods and landlords running two- and three-family buildings closer in.
Pre-1978 lead paint
Most Boston homes predate the 1978 lead paint ban. Any repaint that disturbs old coatings falls under federal RRP rules and Massachusetts lead law.
Historic district review
The Boston Landmarks Commission oversees districts including Back Bay, Beacon Hill, the South End, Bay Village and Mission Hill Triangle. In those districts exterior work visible from the street — paint colors included — goes through design review.
Freeze-thaw damage
Water gets into failed caulk and bare wood, freezes, and splits the grain. It's why Boston trim rots at the joints and why prep matters more here than in milder climates.
Occupied buildings
Much of the city is rental. Painting around tenants means staging, notice, and working in sequence instead of taking a whole building down at once.

Plaster in the older stock, drywall in anything renovated. Water damage, settling cracks and failed previous patches are the three we see most. Here's what drywall contractor work in Boston involves and what it costs.

Deck Builder in Boston
City decks and three-decker rear porches, most of them structural and most of them overdue for repair before anyone thinks about stain. Here's what deck builder work in Boston involves and what it costs.
Building Restoration Service in Boston
Boston's building stock is old enough that full restoration — strip, repair, prime, rebuild the finish — is often the honest recommendation over another quick coat. Here's what building restoration service work in Boston involves and what it costs.
