Valley Park – January 2023

Valley Park homeowner wanted the basement rafters blacked out and the new wood around the stairs painted white before the steps are sealed and the final touches added.

The first portion of the project was painting out the basement. Because it’s very easy to miss spots on the first run we always do two solid coats. Using different patterns and allowing just a bit of dry time always gives a more consistent result. The drywall installation followed us which is the idea time to paint the rafters. While it can be done with walls in place there is quite a bit more prep involved.

Once done we began on the stairs. One coat of specialized primer was applied and given 24 hours to dry. Three coats of hard enamel paint were added and again a 24 hour dry. The protective paper was removed and final touchups done. The stairs will now be sealed by the wood installers.

Paint used was Emerald, ceiling dryfall was cutomer supplied paint from home depot.

Kirkwood – December 2022

Another set of cabinets transformed. Disassembled, primed, painted, reassembled.

A few of the corner doors appear slightly off. They were left a bit loose on the hinges as they will be removed again shortly for new counters and backspash. This way they will be easily removable without damaging the fresh paint as it does take this product up to 30 days to ‘fully cure’ and harden. Knobs were also left off for a few more days while drying happens however we did put the new felts on the backs of the doors.

Remember even though white seems to be the most popular color you can choose almost any color in the spectrum much like modern wall paints so the sky is the limit and occasionally customers request a tuxedo design which is a different color on the tops and bottoms.

Columbia IL – November 2022

Paint: Sherwin, SuperPaint, Flat
Color: Alabaster

Interior painting project completed in Columbia, Illinois. This project involved repainting the ceilings and walls of the entry, basement stairs, living room and kitchen areas. Both the walls and ceilings of the area have a heavy texture added at some time by the previous owner. The new owners were happy with the white color but not the texture.

By repainting the entire area the texture was much more subdued and blended in and added just a touch of color to the whole area. Since the color was so light and conscious that the edges would be difficult to get a clean edge with the texture everywhere the owner opted to do the same color on both the ceilings and walls.

One expected thing was a higher than normal amount of paint usage. The entire job ran about three gallons over the average amount that we normally see.

Chesterfield – September 2020

This Chesterfield homeowner contacted us for painting of their home interior. First part of the project (returning in November for the other half): Two bathrooms, two walk in closets, two bedrooms, large basement room, entry, halls, living room and atrium. One bedroom had a 41′ vault, one closet a 12′ vault, one bathroom a 14′ vault, the entry a 14′ vault, the entry a 16′ vault and the atrium a 25′ vault. For this part ceilings and walls were painted then at the end some of the door frames. Baseboards were not painted, all the doors are going to be replaced and some of the other woodwork will be changed out . The customer chose to use Behr paint on the lower dark grey room and the bedrooms. For the main area and atrium we switched to Sherwin’s Emerald. On a return trip some other areas around the atrium will be painted, the new doors which will be cut and hung by then and two areas that require a lift that won’t be available until a later date.

Crestwood – July 2022

On this project the customer in Crestwood wanted a few things done to prep for the sale of the property so the working parts here were:

  1. Entry foyer had wallpaper that needed to be removed, the walls cleaned up and patched, primed and repainted the existing wall color.
  2. The living room ceiling which had a long hairline crack across it. This needed a light sand and repaint to the existing ceiling paint.
  3. The kitchen which had two walls of wallpaper that needed removal as well as a trim accent above the cabinets also wallpapered. Same as the first room the paper was removed, the walls conditioned, primed and painted.
  4. The kitchen cabinets which were the original old brown color from the 60’s and a rough wood. These were taken down and repainted and prepped for reinstall however the client did the install of the doors themselves as they had also done the removal. \
  5. Two bathrooms of wallpaper that needed removal, conditioning, prime and paint.

There was a large opening between the two bathrooms that was being refilled by the client

We used UltraSpec 500 for the walls, Roman RX for the wallpaper prime and our usual cabinet products on the wood.
