Your Trusted Painter in Boston

Boston painting contractor known for rapid estimates, top-tier craft, and the customer service you deserve.

Boston homes span centuries of construction styles, and each era demands a different approach. Older homes, especially those built before 1940, require more rigorous preparation standards than modern construction, as outlined by EPA and Massachusetts guidelines, where improper prep remains a leading cause of premature paint failure.

At Ryan Painting, we apply a disciplined, standards-driven surface preparation to every project, because we know lasting results start long before the final coat.

“In our climate, paint performance depends far more on surface preparation and coating compatibility than brand alone, That’s why our process prioritizes prep, moisture control, and substrate-specific primers on every project.”

Our Process

A successful painting project starts with a solid process. Our experienced team follows a structured workflow that keeps your project on schedule and your expectations clear:

1. Fast, accurate estimate

We carefully move or cover furniture, mask trim and fixtures, and protect your floors with clean, heavy-duty canvas drop cloths.


2. Detailed prep and surface protection

Walls and trim are inspected, then we fill nail pops, caulk gaps, and skim minor cracks before sanding everything smooth.


3. Professional paint application

We use fast-drying primer to seal patches and stains, ensuring a uniform finish across all surfaces.


4. Quality checks and final walkthrough

We apply two full coats of premium Benjamin Moore Regal Select® in your chosen sheen — eggshell or satin — with a third coat if needed.


Our workflow aligns with manufacturer technical data sheets and Massachusetts lead-safe and surface-prep guidelines, ensuring coatings are applied under conditions designed to maximize adhesion, appearance, and lifespan.

Our painters take pride in their work. It shows in the results we deliver on every job.

Interior Painting
That Elevates Your Home

Our interior painting services focus on clean lines, smooth finishes, and durable results. We handle everything from surface preparation and priming to final coat application, ensuring every room looks polished and cohesive.

We frequently complete:

  • Full interior repaints

  • Color changes over dark or difficult surfaces

  • Trim, molding, and detailed finish work

  • Rental unit and tenant-turn painting projects

Every interior painting job is completed with respect for your space, daily cleanup, and clear communication throughout the project. Proper priming and finish selection can extend interior repaint cycles by several years, particularly in high-traffic areas such as stairwells, hallways, and rental units—where improper prep often leads to early wear, flashing, or adhesion failure.

Featured Service

Exterior Painting
Built for Boston Weather

Exterior painting in Boston requires the right products and preparation. Our team addresses peeling paint, rotted wood, moisture exposure, and surface failures before applying long-lasting exterior coatings.

Our exterior work includes:

  • Clapboard and siding painting

  • Porch floors and railings

  • Deck restoration and sealing

  • Wrought-iron and metal painting

We help protect your home while improving curb appeal and property value. Exterior paint systems in Boston must withstand wide temperature swings, snow load, and prolonged moisture exposure. Without proper scraping, repair, and priming, exterior coatings often fail within a few seasons - especially on clapboard siding, porch floors, and railings.
