Interior Painting in South Boston, Boston MA
Prep is most of it — wash, patch, sand, prime, then two finish coats. We move and cover furniture and clean up at the end of every day.
What this looks like in South Boston
Most of what we paint in South Boston is three-deckers and rowhouses. Three-deckers, brick and wood rowhouses, and a large number of condo conversions with shared exterior responsibility. Fort Point is loft conversions in former industrial buildings. Southie sits on the water. Salt accelerates coating breakdown and corrodes fasteners, and exterior products need to be specified for it.
The way we work it
Prep is most of it — wash, patch, sand, prime, then two finish coats. We move and cover furniture and clean up at the end of every day.
Ceilings first, then walls, then trim — working top down so drips land on unfinished surfaces. Cut lines get brushed before the roller comes anywhere near the wall, and we pull tape while the last coat is still slightly open so the film breaks clean instead of tearing.
Where these jobs go wrong
The usual failure is rolling a second coat too soon. The surface skins over while the underside is still wet, and a month later you get burnish marks wherever someone wipes the wall.
