Painters in Back Bay, Boston MA
Your trusted local experts

Back Bay is Boston’s postcard: manicured London‑plane trees shading Commonwealth Ave Mall, Italianate brownstones shoulder‑to‑shoulder along Marlborough and Beacon Streets. A proper repaint here is both art and engineering.
Ryan Painting has restored more than thirty Back Bay façades since 2018, navigating 15‑foot sidewalks, valet parking bans, and weekend marathon road closures without a single violation or ticket.
Our EPA‑certified crews erect compact pipe staging, wrap gardens in breathable mesh, and log every paint can lot number for HOA review. From meticulous Dutch Boy sash glazing to invisible interior plaster patches, we deliver museum‑level finishes while the neighborhood walks its dogs beneath us.
We’re proud of what we do
A 1875 three‑bay Gothic revival rear was down to bare sandstone on its bay‑window caps. We soft‑washed, removed lead paint under full RRP containment, and primed stone with breathable siloxane primer before brushing two coats of Aura Low‑Lustre .” Cast‑iron railings received a DTM acrylic in satin black. Sixteen months later, water still beads, and the HOA named the project “Best Restored Façade 2024.
“Ryan Painting’s crew nailed the HOA color board on the first try—our dentil moldings look hand‑carved again.”
