Exterior Painting
Whether your property is for sale or it is just for your personal enjoyment, curb appeal makes all the difference in the world. The most cost-effective improvement a homeowner can make is painting, and a good paint job enhances the positive aspects of your home.
The process begins with power washing to remove mildew, dirt and peeling paint. We continue with hand scraping and sanding to remove stubborn peeling paint and ensure a good bond for the new paint. We prime bare spots, treat rusty fasteners and caulk with the best materials available. Finish coats are professionally applied by skilled tradesmen.
- Power washing, scraping, sanding and priming
- Siding, trim, shutters, porches, decks and railings
- Repair of damaged wood, painted brick, stucco and masonry
- Decks, roofs, windows and landscaping protected throughout
Cabinet Painting
You have seen how a fresh coat of paint can breathe new life into a room. Your kitchen cabinets are no exception. Cabinet painting is an easy and cost-effective way to revitalize your space without the expense and hassle of a full renovation.
Whether your cabinets are in the kitchen, bathroom, garage or part of custom built-ins, the right color and finish can dramatically elevate their appearance. With professional cabinet painting you get a high-quality, durable finish that brings a clean, cohesive look to your home while preserving the solid structure of your existing cabinets.
- Kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities and built-ins
- Degreasing, sanding and bonding primers for a factory-like finish
- Sprayed doors and drawer fronts
Mineral Paint
Mineral paint uses natural minerals for its color pigments, mixed with a binder that gives it excellent adhesion and superior durability. On exteriors like brick, stucco, concrete and stone, its high breathability lets moisture escape from the substrate, preventing peeling and keeping the surface healthy, with excellent resistance to UV and harsh weather.
Inside the home, mineral paint is valued for its matte, natural-looking finish on plaster, drywall or masonry, and its low VOC content makes it a safe, eco-conscious choice. It is also a favorite for historic preservation because of its compatibility with traditional building materials.
