Iris Marcus, expert finisher and leader in the industry, stopped by the Boiler Room to talk shop and music. We’ve been fortunate to have worked with Iris over the years on numerous projects, with most recently, a preservation job salvaging painted treads original to a Beacon Hill brownstone, what we call the FLATS. The clients wanted stained wood matching their floors. We brought Iris in for woodgraining (“faux boix”) the treads, making them look like stained walnut. Iris also shared wi...

KCB Boiler Room Podcast ·

2026/01/02

In our second installment of “AKA” or “Ask Kevin Anything,” Kevin fields three questions sent in by you! For this episode, Kevin talks about how social media posts have had an impact on what is considered “quality” work in carpentry. This led to a “hot take” involving priming. Technology and AI was the subject of the next question, and this had to do with the construction schedule. Lastly, there’s a hiring crisis when it comes to the trades. Kevin reflects on how times have chang...
