Acorn Masonry and Painting | Masonry/Concrete & Roofing in Boston, MA 02136

Absolutely. Chimney flashing leaks are a frequent issue in Boston due to our weather cycles and the age of many homes. At Acorn, we address this by thoroughly inspecting the existing flashing for rust, cracks, or separation. Our repair process involves carefully removing compromised sections, preparing the roof and chimney surface, and installing new, properly fitted flashing sealed with durable, weather-resistant materials. We understand how crucial a tight seal is to prevent water damage to your roof deck and interior, especially during our snowy winters and heavy rains.

Our sealing service is a protective measure crucial for Boston's climate. After a thorough cleaning, we apply a high-quality sealer designed to repel water, resist oil and salt stains from winter treatments, and protect against UV damage from the sun. This process helps prevent cracking from freeze-thaw cycles, a common issue here, and extends the life and appearance of your concrete surfaces. We recommend sealing for new installations and can reseal existing driveways, patios, and walkways to restore their protection.

Yes, we provide full-service painting for both the interior and exterior of your home. Proper preparation is key to a lasting finish. For paint removal, especially on older Boston homes, we assess the surface and use appropriate methods like scraping, sanding, or chemical strippers when necessary, always prioritizing safety and containing debris. We then repair any underlying damage to walls or trim, prime the surface, and apply your chosen paint with precision. This meticulous prep ensures better paint adhesion and a smoother, more durable result.
