Ceiling Painting in West Roxbury, Boston MA
Stain-blocking primer where there's water staining, then even coats that don't flash or lap.
West Roxbury specifics
Most of what we paint in West Roxbury is detached capes and colonials. 1920s through 1950s capes, colonials and ranches, with some larger Victorians near Centre Street. Wood siding, aluminum and vinyl in roughly equal measure. 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.
The way we work it
Stain-blocking primer where there's water staining, then even coats that don't flash or lap.
Water staining gets a shellac-based stain blocker, not another coat of ceiling white. Latex over a tannin or water stain lets it bleed straight back through, sometimes within days.
Where these jobs go wrong
Flat ceiling paint applied in strips that dry before they're joined leaves lap marks that only show when the afternoon light rakes across them. Ceilings have to be cut and rolled wet-edge in one pass.
