South Boston Painters — Triple-Deckers, Rowhouses & Waterfront Condos
South Boston runs from the dense triple-deckers and brick rowhouses of the streets and the Point to the new waterfront condo towers of the Seaport. Two very different painting worlds — old wood-frame and modern high-rise unit — in one neighborhood.
South Boston — from the streets to the Seaport
South Boston's core — the numbered streets, the Point, City Point, and Andrew Square — is dense wood-frame: triple-deckers, two-families, and brick rowhouses, most of it built before 1940. The Seaport waterfront is the opposite: post-2010 condo and apartment towers with modern engineered interiors.
That split defines the work. On the older streets it's lead-safe exterior repaints and occupied two- and three-family interiors; on the waterfront it's condo unit turnovers coordinated with building management.
What makes South Boston projects distinct
Pre-1978 lead-safe on the wood-frame stock
The vast majority of Southie's streets predate 1978. Triple-decker and rowhouse prep requires EPA RRP lead-safe practices — containment, HEPA cleanup, documented verification. We're certified.
Multi-family coordination
Two- and three-family buildings mean coordinating access across units and scheduling around tenants. We sequence the work so each unit and the shared stairwell get done with minimal disruption.
Tight-street staging
South Boston's narrow streets and permit parking make exterior staging a logistics problem. We plan ladder and lift placement and pull the parking permits so a repaint doesn't stall on day one.
Cost reference for South Boston projects
South Boston triple-decker and rowhouse exterior work runs in the mid-to-upper third of typical Massachusetts contractor market data (multi-story wood-frame, lead-safe prep); condo unit interiors run in the lower-to-mid range. See the Massachusetts cost reference.
