Trim Painting in Malden, MA
Brushwork with clean cut lines where trim meets wall. Semi-gloss enamel so it wipes down and holds up.
What this looks like in Malden
Most of what we paint in Malden is two- and three-family houses. Two- and three-family houses from the 1890s through the 1920s, brick apartment blocks near the centre, and a scattering of Victorians on the higher ground. Front porches carry the households and take the weather. Rails, decking and post bases are the first things to fail and painting over soft wood buys one winter.
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.
Where these jobs go wrong
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.
