Serving Roxbury, Boston MA

Painter in Roxbury, Boston MA

Roxbury has some of the grandest housing stock in Boston — the Fort Hill Victorians and Highland Park mansions are 1870s and 1880s, and Highland Park is a designated historic district.

What We're Usually Painting in Roxbury

Second Empire and Queen Anne mansions on Fort Hill, brownstone and brick rowhouses, and three-deckers through the flats.

Owner-occupants restoring period homes on Fort Hill, plus multi-family owners through the rest of the neighborhood.

Highland Park Historic District

Highland Park is a Boston Landmarks Commission district. Exterior work visible from the street requires review, and the housing there justifies the process.

Large Victorian exteriors

Fort Hill houses are big, tall and heavily detailed. The surface area alone puts them in a different bracket to a standard three-decker.

Deferred maintenance

A lot of Roxbury's best housing went decades without proper exterior work. Restoration here usually means real carpentry before any coating.

Mixed substrates

Brownstone, brick, wood trim and slate on the same building. Each needs a different product and a different approach.

Common Questions

Questions We Get Asked

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

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.
