Common Questions

Questions We Get Asked

Can you work on a three-storey building in Mission Hill?

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.
