Painting Boston
Your trusted experts
Boston’s weather is tough on paint—salt from the harbor, whiplash temperature swings, and July sun all gang up on your siding.
We start with a gentle soft-wash to clear away dirt, chalk, and mildew. Next comes full lead-safe setup to keep every chip and speck contained. Loose paint is carefully scraped and lightly heat-softened, then dust-capturing sanders feather the edges smooth. An oil-rich primer soaks into bare shingles, followed by a leveling coat that hides old paint lines. We seal every gap, patch small dents, and replace any bad boards before brushing on two (sometimes three) rich coats of premium Benjamin Moore paint.

How we do it
1. Deep Clean
We soft-wash every wall to remove dirt, chalky paint, and mildew so new paint has a fresh start.
2. Safe Set-Up
Ground tarps and vacuum-ready tools keep chips and dust contained under Massachusetts lead-safe rules.
3. Careful Paint Removal
We hand-scrape loose paint and dust-capturing sanders to smooth the edges without gouging the wood.
4. Prime & Smooth
First, an oil primer soaks into bare shingles and clapboards.
5. Seal & Repair
Gaps are caulked, small dings get an epoxy patch, and any bad trim or siding are swapped out before color goes on.
6. Beautiful Finish
Two rich coats of high-quality Benjamin Moore exterior paint - back-brushed for even grain—give lasting color.
Boston-tough craftsmanship. Flawless, lasting paint jobs.
We’re proud of what we do
A cedar‑shingle triple‑decker on Boylston St. suffered sun‑side cupping and mildew. We soft‑washed with a mildewcide, replaced 40 shingles, and sprayed an oil‑based stain‑blocking primer. Two coats of Arborcoat® solid stain finished the job—neighbors booked three more houses within a week.
