1920s through 1950s capes, colonials and ranches, with some larger Victorians near Centre Street. Wood siding, aluminum and vinyl in roughly equal measure.
Most of our building restoration work here is for owner-occupant families who have been in the house a long time and are maintaining rather than flipping.
Full site access
Driveways and side yards mean a crew can stage properly on all four elevations. It's the single biggest reason West Roxbury exteriors move faster.
Aluminum and vinyl siding
Much of the neighborhood was resided mid-century. Painting it is possible with the right product, but colour depth has a hard limit before panels warp.
Larger footprints
A West Roxbury colonial carries considerably more paintable surface than an inner-city three-decker, and the quote should reflect that.
Restoring an Older Building Is Not a Repaint
What drives the price
Restoration prices on condition and on what has to be matched. Replacing a rotted section of a plain fascia is carpentry. Replicating a moulding profile that has not been manufactured since 1910 involves either sourcing salvage or having a knife ground, and that is a different order of cost and lead time. In West Roxbury, Boston specifically, the work is mostly detached capes and colonials, and full four-side access on most lots shapes how we schedule and stage it.
How the work is sequenced
Water first. Every restoration starts with finding where moisture is getting in, because coating over an active leak is money spent twice. Then substrate repair, then matched carpentry, then priming of every face of every new piece including the back and the end grain, then finish.
Where it usually goes wrong
The failure specific to older buildings is repair that ignores how the building was designed to breathe. Sealing a wall assembly that was built to dry outward traps moisture inside it, and the damage that follows is worse than the problem being solved. Older buildings need to be understood before they are coated.
How long it takes
Restoration schedules are driven by material sourcing and by weather windows more than by labour. We flag long-lead items at the estimate so you know which parts of the schedule are ours to control and which are not.
