Painters in Dorchester
Your trusted local experts
Dorchester is the biggest neighborhood in the city and the place the triple-decker was born. Ashmont Hill and Melville Park hold their Victorians with the ornate trim and painted-lady colour schemes, Savin Hill and Neponset run to three-family homes with the owner living downstairs, and Fields Corner and Codman Square are full of houses that have been carrying twelve coats of paint since before the war. That history is the whole job here. Old growth wood, deep porch rot at the rear stairs, and paint layers underneath that almost always predate 1978.
Ryan Painting works Dorchester the way the housing stock asks to be worked. We are RRP-certified and hold Massachusetts DLS Lead-Safe Renovation Contractor License LR4720, so we can test, contain, and prep pre-1978 surfaces properly instead of sanding a problem into the air where your tenants and kids are. Rear porches and stairs get carpentry before coating, not caulk over soft wood. On owner-occupied three-families we schedule around the tenants upstairs, keep the driveway clear, and sequence unit by unit so nobody loses their entry for a week. From Peabody Square to Adams Village to the streets off Dot Ave, we know what these houses need.
We’re proud of what we do
A two-family off Stoughton Street, owner upstairs, tenants below. The rear porch and stairs have soft decking at the treads and paint failing back to bare wood on the weather face. We test before anything gets sanded, contain the work area, rebuild the rotted framing and decking, then prime and coat. Tenants keep their entry the whole time and the driveway stays clear.
