Restoration

One of the single most important aspects of painting a home. First we perform an inspection to determine problem areas. We then use Sikaflex or urethane sealants followed by a water-repellent coating.

Prepare the substrate, remove old and deteriorated compounds and sealants. Apply new sealants and two-part epoxies. Apply rust converter to all rusted metal surfaces (including nails).  Apply suitable primer coatings to all substrates. Apply at least two finish coats of 100% acrylic paint.

Plastic and cover all surfaces not to be painted.  Repair all cracks in walls, clean dust with HEPA-vacuum, work completed using lead safe practices.

Sealed from public access. All debris removed from worksite daily. Wood is hand brushed for old world charm appearance. Paint lines are clean and crisp, walls are rolled with minimal texture and sanded in between coats to promote an impeccable Level 5 finish.

We use a non-caustic (environmentally safe) chemical stripper. All hazardous waste is disposed of according to all local, state and EPA regulations.

We work with an experienced ornamental plasterer Lorna Kollmeyer to fabricate any needed plaster ornamentation.

Restore-It is used to repair damaged surface in wood, as an alternative to replacement.

Dry rot can be repaired with Restore-It, or we work with highly skilled carpenters who can replace any wood component as needed.

All siding is attached with stainless steel screws at all joinings and wood plugs are installed at corner boards. All vertical joints sealed with Sikaflex.
