Paint stripping in Greater Boston removing old, failing coatings down to bare surface — properly, not lazily — so the next finish actually bonds and lasts the way it should. Locally owned. Request your estimate.
Boston's housing stock is unlike anywhere else in the country. Pre-war brownstones, historic triple-deckers, modern condos, and commercial buildings all exist within blocks of each other — and each requires a different approach. We've worked across every Boston neighborhood and understand what each property type needs for paint stripping to be done correctly.
Every paint stripping project starts with a thorough assessment. We don't show up and start working — we walk the job first, identify what prep is needed, and scope the work correctly. Proper preparation is the difference between a result that lasts and one that fails within a few years. That's not how we operate.
We're a father-son team that's been working in Greater Boston since 2013. Washington has been in the trade for over 20 years — he's painted Back Bay brownstones, South Boston triple-deckers, Jamaica Plain Victorians, and commercial buildings across the city. That experience shows in how we approach every job.

Strip when existing paint is significantly failing (peeling, alligatoring, or more than 50% loose), when too many layers have built up and detail is being lost, or when switching from paint to stain on wood surfaces. Full decision guide →
Not always required, but must follow EPA RRP protocols when disturbing lead paint. Testing before stripping is recommended on pre-1978 homes. EPA RRP Rule →
Chemical strippers for detail work and wood, heat guns for large flat areas, mechanical sanding/grinding for masonry. Method depends on substrate and lead paint status.
More than repainting — stripping is labor-intensive. A full exterior strip and repaint on a single-family Boston home runs significantly more than a standard repaint. We assess on-site and quote honestly.
