Serving Fenway, Boston MA

Painter in Fenway, Boston MA

Fenway is brick apartment buildings, brownstones and institutional neighbours — Longwood, Northeastern, BU. It's dense, it's largely rental, and turnover drives the work.

What We're Usually Painting in Fenway

Early 1900s brick apartment blocks, brownstone rowhouses along Bay State Road, and institutional and mixed-use buildings through Longwood.

Property managers and building owners running multi-unit residential, plus institutional clients.

Bay State Road conservation district

The Bay State Road and Back Bay West area is a designated architectural conservation district under Landmarks Commission review.

Common areas and stairwells

Most Fenway work is hallways, stairwells and lobbies in occupied buildings — high traffic, tight sequencing, and finishes that have to survive constant use.

Academic calendar

Turnover concentrates around the end of the academic year. The window to get units done is narrow and everybody wants it at once.

Occupied throughout

These buildings never empty. Low-odour product and staged access are the whole job, not a nicety.

Common Questions

Questions We Get Asked

Can you work on a three-storey building in Fenway?

Yes — most of what we do in dense neighbourhoods is three storeys. Depending on access we use extension ladders or pump staging, and we plan placement before the crew arrives rather than working it out on the day.

Where do you set up when there's no driveway?

On the street or the side yard, and where a neighbour's property is involved we ask first. Tight lot lines are the normal condition here, not an obstacle.

Can you work around tenants?

Regularly. Notice goes through the owner, we sequence by unit and elevation, and we keep entries and stairs clear at the end of every day.

How long does a three-decker exterior take?

Typically one to three weeks depending on how much prep and carpentry the porches need. We give a real window at the estimate.

Is there lead paint in these buildings?

Assume yes on anything pre-1978, which is nearly all original stock here. Federal EPA RRP rules apply, and Massachusetts lead law adds requirements for rentals with young children.
