Porter Square — Cambridge, MA
Porter Square straddles North Cambridge and the Somerville line — a transit square ringed by triple-deckers, two-families, and newer condos near the Red Line.
Most work here is triple-decker and multi-family exterior repaints plus occupied-unit 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 Porter Square projects distinct
Turnover-repaint timing
Porter Square's student-rental market turns over on a tight seasonal schedule. We lock the dates early, turn the unit fast, and pick a durable finish that lasts through another year of wear.
Managed-building coordination
Porter Square 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 Porter Square. 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 Porter Square's housing went up well before 1978. We handle it with EPA RRP lead-safe practices — full containment and HEPA cleanup, documented. Certified crew.
