Trim Painting in Roxbury, Boston 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 Roxbury
Most of what we paint in Roxbury is Fort Hill Victorians and three-deckers. Second Empire and Queen Anne mansions on Fort Hill, brownstone and brick rowhouses, and three-deckers through the flats. Highland Park is a Boston Landmarks Commission district. Exterior work visible from the street requires review, and the housing there justifies the process.
Our process
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.
Common failure we see
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.
