One of those ‘different’ jobs. This customer had already had their walls painted then decided to paint the ceilings. Fun part of a ceiling only paint is getting anything on the walls or damaging the ceiling edge cut. We repainted the kitchen, living room, front foyer and hall in a fresh white.
This job entailed removing a wallpaper border wrapping the ceiling like, seal and sand of the walls and a full repaint including closet.
Quick kitchen repaint – Ceilings and walls
Repaint of trim and walls. Grey ceiling border, white coved ceiling portion, a second wider grey strip crown design, regular south city high baseboards and then topped it off with a nice grey on the walls.
Second trip to this property to get home prepped for sale. In this case the real estate agent wanted a few more rooms painted a neutral color so we returned and painted the front room and dining room walls, the family room walls below the chair rail and the upper stairwell and landing ceiling. The walls are textured with a faux plaster type design.
Another unit at the Anconda condo building in the Central West End. This was a walls only repaint of two bedrooms, a bath, hall, living room and galley kitchen along with some closets. Color is Sherwin’s Repose Grey painted with Superpaint Velvet.
The prior paint jobs were done so poorly that we found many areas with paint overrun all over the woodwork and door frames so for the customers budget instead of repainting the baseboards this run we went through and re-edged the tops after the wall paint to hide much of the old color that was showing.
The customer called us after starting to take down the paper themselves and tore into the wall board pretty quick. At this point we have come in and steamed off all the paper and backing, gave the walls a nice washdown and patched the damaged spots with finish mud. We are letting this all dry over the weekend. We then did a nice sand over the entire wall and double check our patch spots to make sure they are nice and flat then seal everything. Following day two coats of paint and cleanup. We also painted a small hall wall which is not pictured.
The operators of Terex in Fenton called us up to tackle a repaint job to be done while the offices were up and operating. As is common with these type jobs some items had to be left on walls and painted around however we did manage to gain enough space to work around the desks and cabinets. We repainted the entire main office, three smaller offices and two bathrooms. I’d recommend the business but not many folks need crane services.
This was our first run of a new product that came in. The homeowner got tired of the old light wood finish of the cabinets. We came in and put a layer of bonding primer and then three coats of black speciality cabinet paint then came back after the owners remounted things and did a round of touchups. We opted for a more subdued satin finish that did a great job retaining the grain of the wood in the doors.
Repainted this small retail game shop on Telegraph back in 2014. This was another of those ‘interesting’ jobs as all the wall merchandise, TV’s and other mounted items could not be removed and the painting had to happen while the store was open. Just another day in the life of a painter! This is also an awesome independent gaming store where they know their stuff!
