Historic Home Painting in Roxbury, Boston MA
Lead-safe practices, historically appropriate colour, and the patience that ornate trim demands.
On Roxbury properties
Full envelope work is common in Roxbury. Highland Park is a Boston Landmarks Commission district. Exterior work visible from the street requires review, and the housing there justifies the process. Strip, repair, prime, and rebuild the finish properly.
How we do it
Lead-safe practices, historically appropriate colour, and the patience that ornate trim demands.
Lead-safe practice throughout, period-appropriate colour, and enough patience for ornate trim. Districts with design review get their approvals before work starts, not after someone complains.
Common failure we see
Choosing colours before checking whether the property sits in a review district. Repainting a rejected scheme is an expensive lesson.
