Trim Painting in Brighton, Boston MA
Brushwork with clean cut lines where trim meets wall. Semi-gloss enamel so it wipes down and holds up.
On Brighton properties
Most of what we paint in Brighton is three-deckers and brick apartment blocks. Three-deckers and two-families, 1920s brick apartment blocks, and Victorian and Colonial Revival single-families in Oak Square and Aberdeen. Aberdeen is a designated architectural conservation district under the Boston Landmarks Commission. Exterior work visible from the street goes through design review, and that includes colour.
How we do it
Brushwork with clean cut lines where trim meets wall. Semi-gloss enamel so it wipes down and holds up.
Trim gets filled, caulked at the wall line, sanded, then brushed with an enamel that levels out rather than holding brush marks. Waterborne alkyds flow better than straight latex on casing and give you a harder surface on a windowsill that actually gets used.
What usually fails
Caulk applied after paint rather than before is the tell of a rushed job. It yellows, it cracks along the top edge, and it can't be fixed without redoing the line.
