McIntire District Painters — Federal Townhouses under Historic Review
Salem's McIntire District holds one of the densest concentrations of pre-1900 architecture in the country — Federal-era townhouses and mansions on Chestnut and Federal Streets, many condo-converted. Here the work runs to multi-family exterior repaints and occupied two- and three-family interiors.
McIntire District — Salem, MA
Salem's McIntire District holds one of the densest concentrations of pre-1900 architecture in the country — Federal-era townhouses and mansions on Chestnut and Federal Streets, many condo-converted.
Here the work runs to multi-family exterior repaints and occupied two- and three-family interiors. We match prep and paint spec to each home's era and the neighborhood's realities rather than running one process everywhere.
What makes McIntire District projects distinct
Historic-district-appropriate work
the McIntire Local Historic District reviews exterior changes here, paint colors included. We work within period-appropriate palettes, hand-finish period trim rather than spraying over it, and help document scope for the commission.
HOA & association coordination
McIntire District has a lot of condo and association-run buildings. We put the insurance certificate on file, mask shared halls and elevators each trip, keep to quiet hours, and price common areas apart from units.
Triple-decker work
Triple-deckers and two- and three-family homes make up much of McIntire District. We coordinate access across units, schedule around tenants, and stage three-story exteriors safely with proper insurance.
Pre-1978 lead-safe prep
A lot of McIntire District's housing went up well before 1978. We handle it with EPA RRP lead-safe practices — full containment and HEPA cleanup, documented. Certified crew.
Cost reference for McIntire District projects
