East Boston Painters — Waterfront Triple-Deckers & Harbor Condos
East Boston is one of the city's densest wood-frame neighborhoods — triple-deckers and two-families across Eagle Hill, Orient Heights, and Jeffries Point, plus new harbor-front condos. Salt air off the harbor and pre-1978 lead define the exterior spec.
East Boston — Eagle Hill, Orient Heights & Jeffries Point
East Boston sits on the harbor across from downtown, and it's overwhelmingly wood-frame — dense triple-deckers and two-families climbing Eagle Hill, stretching through Orient Heights, and packed into Jeffries Point, with newer condo development along the waterfront.
Most work here is exterior repaints of multi-story wood-frame and interior repaints in occupied multi-family units — with the harbor's salt air adding a real durability factor.
What makes East Boston projects distinct
Coastal salt-air exposure
Harbor-front and hilltop homes take constant salt spray and wind. We wash and neutralize salt residue, spot-prime bare wood with a bonding primer, and topcoat with UV- and mildew-resistant exterior paint built for marine conditions.
Pre-1978 lead-safe
Eastie's triple-deckers are overwhelmingly pre-1978. EPA RRP lead-safe practices are standard on every prep job — we're certified.
Three-story staging
Triple-deckers mean three-story exterior work. We bring proper OSHA-compliant staging and the insurance coverage for high wood-frame work on tight lots.
Cost reference for East Boston projects
East Boston triple-decker exterior repaints run in the mid-to-upper third of typical Massachusetts market data (three stories, salt-air spec, lead-safe prep); unit interiors run lower. See the Massachusetts cost reference.
