Interior Painting in East Boston, Boston MA
Prep is most of it — wash, patch, sand, prime, then two finish coats. We move and cover furniture and clean up at the end of every day.
East Boston specifics
Most of what we paint in East Boston is harbor-side three-deckers. Three-deckers and two-families, mostly 1890s through 1920s, with Italianate and Second Empire detail on Eagle Hill and postwar singles toward Orient Heights. Eastie is surrounded by water. Salt drives coating failure and fastener corrosion, and any exterior spec that ignores it will not last.
Our process
Prep is most of it — wash, patch, sand, prime, then two finish coats. We move and cover furniture and clean up at the end of every day.
Ceilings first, then walls, then trim — working top down so drips land on unfinished surfaces. Cut lines get brushed before the roller comes anywhere near the wall, and we pull tape while the last coat is still slightly open so the film breaks clean instead of tearing.
What usually fails
The usual failure is rolling a second coat too soon. The surface skins over while the underside is still wet, and a month later you get burnish marks wherever someone wipes the wall.
