Catchlight and The Baley House
One of Catchlight’s most demanding and rewarding residential painting projects in Newton was the Baley House restoration. This storied and breathtaking property has been a staple in Newtonville for generations and has had eight owners since its first brick was laid.
The Bayley House is a prominent example of High Victorian Gothic architecture, even listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The house has served many purposes in addition to being a private residence, including a junior college and even a religious order priory—a property as elegant and unique as the Baley House requires the highest level of craftsmanship.
As residential house painters experienced in historic restoration, our team carefully sanded, repaired, and painted the exterior. From the pitched gables to the porte-cochere, the gutters to the multi-styled shingling, the light carpentry/restoration efforts were handled with extreme care. Disturbing lead-based paints was at the top of our minds, which is why our staff wore Tyvek suits and HEPA-filtered respirators as they hand-scraped old paint from the property.
The Baley House restoration is a prime example of using modern methods and tools to restore and honor the past – the results are some of the best we’ve ever seen.
