Boston House Painters for Brownstones, Triple-Deckers, and City Homes
Owner-operated, licensed and insured, with 20+ years painting Boston's historic facades and neighborhood three-families.
Boston is a patchwork of very different housing, and painting it well means knowing which house you are standing in front of. A Back Bay brownstone, a Dorchester triple-decker, and a West Roxbury colonial each ask for a different plan. Owner Joe Rocha has worked across these neighborhoods for over 20 years and scopes every job to the building, its age, and its exposure.
We are a local owner-operated crew, not a big franchise cycling through crews. In a city where permits, tight access, and shared walls are part of the job, that continuity matters. The same team that gives you the estimate does the prep, the painting, and the final walkthrough, and we keep the site clean the whole way through.

Boston's exterior work runs the range from brick and brownstone facades in Back Bay and the South End to wood-frame triple-deckers across Dorchester and Jamaica Plain. On masonry rowhouses, the painting details are the cornices, window trim, doors, and iron, and getting those crisp is what makes the block look cared for. On triple-deckers, it is the stacked porches, tall clapboard walls, and railings that take the beating from the weather.
Much of Boston's housing predates 1978, so lead paint is common and lead-safe prep is standard on our jobs. Salt air and harsh winters near the harbor and the coast are hard on exterior finishes, so we prep thoroughly, prime bare spots, and use paint built to hold up to the freeze-thaw cycle these homes go through every year.
Interior and exterior painting in Boston
Inside, we repair plaster and drywall, paint walls, ceilings, trim, and doors, and refinish cabinets for kitchens that need a lift. In older brownstones and triple-decker units, we take care around original millwork and tall windows so the lines stay clean against the historic detail.
Outside, we power wash, scrape, prime, and repaint clapboard, shingles, porches, and trim, and we handle the painted details on masonry rowhouses like cornices, sills, and doors. Every exterior gets prepped for Boston's weather so the finish lasts through the salt and the freeze-thaw.
Why Boston homeowners choose us
You are hiring an owner-operator who stands behind the work, not a rotating franchise crew. We are licensed, insured, and BBB Accredited, with two decades of Boston houses behind us. That experience shows in the prep, which is where most paint jobs succeed or fail.
We keep communication clear in English, Portuguese, or Spanish, so whether you are in Dorchester or the South End, the conversation about color, scope, and schedule is easy to follow.
Why Boston homeowners call us
As a local crew, we can reach Boston jobs and come back for touch-ups without a long wait. We plan around the realities of city work: limited parking, permit staging on busy streets, and neighbors who share a wall or a porch. Because Joe runs the jobs himself, the person making decisions about prep and schedule is on-site, and we leave the block cleaner than we found it every evening.
