Malden is just past Medford and Everett from our base, and it has some of the most interesting housing north of Boston: big Victorians, two- and three-family homes, and newer apartment buildings near Malden Center and Oak Grove.
A lot of Malden property is owner-occupied multi-family or rental, so we often work with landlords as well as homeowners.
Malden mixes large Victorian homes, especially in neighborhoods like Edgeworth and Maplewood, with two- and three-family houses throughout the city and newer apartment and condo buildings around Malden Center and the Orange Line stops at Malden Center and Oak Grove.
Malden’s Victorians and multi-families often have porches stacked on two or three levels, decorative trim and tall gables. That height and detail is where most of the exterior time goes, especially the scraping and priming on porch floors, rails and steps.
Interior work in Malden is often unit by unit: an owner’s apartment in a two-family, a vacant rental between tenants, or a common stairway shared by the whole building..
Malden exteriors often mean height and stacked porches: two or three levels of floors, rails and steps on a tall multi-family or Victorian.
For Malden landlords and owners of multi-family homes, painted cabinets are often the most cost-effective way to update a kitchen without replacing it, whether it’s your own unit or a rental..
Stairs, railings, balusters, baseboards, doors and casings. The details that make a room look finished.
Offices, retail, common areas and job-site work, scheduled around your operation.

Yes. We paint vacant units, common hallways and exteriors on multi-family buildings. We coordinate access with you and your tenants.
Yes. Tall gables, decorative trim and stacked porches take more time and more ladder work, and we price that honestly up front.
It depends on our schedule. We finish one project before starting another, so we’ll give you a real start date instead of a guess.
