Interior Painting

|
|
 Whether
it’s a conventional brush and roll finish or the glass-like smoothness that
comes with a spray finish, the fundamentals are the same.(click on any of

Thorough preparation, patience and attention to detail are among the
many qualities that lead to a work that looks great and lasts.
For rooms where a lot of
light falls along walls and ceilings – particularly natural light – the
right combination of skill, experience and attention to detail assures a
smooth, consistent finish. |
|
 Manufacturers
of quality paints and stains test their product to find application
methods that produce great results.
Following their
recommendations can only help to improve the look and durability of the
finish. |

Spray Finishing and Staining
|
|
|
 In
the living room shown to the left, our client asked that the cabinet
doors above the fireplace "disappear" into
the walls. So we spray-finished the doors with the same premium acrylic
we used to coat the walls, with great results.
|
 On
your right we have the before shot of a stair comprising a wood tread
(the part of the stair on which you walk) joined to a wood-composite
stringer (the structures running along each side of the treads,
supporting them and “stringing” them together). |
|
 On your left
we have the same stair after the finishes are applied to the stringers
and bottoms of the treads. The wood treads are ash, and require a wiping
stain followed with a clear lacquer, while the composite stringers
require several coats of primer and paint with sanding between each coat
to yield a smooth finish. These two surfaces require two different
finishing systems and must be carefully isolated from each other while
their respective finishes are applied. It’s a lot of work, but the
finished stair looks fantastic. |

Finish Repair
|
|
|
| Finishes can fail for all
kinds of reasons – water damage, structural shifting, and improper
application are just a few factors that can lead to problems. Good
painting or staining work in a new home takes solid workmanship. But
what about when things go wrong? |
You can see this home’s water damaged baseboard before and after the
repair. We first match both the color and sheen of the existing trim.

 Then,
after protecting the carpet and surrounding wall, we repair the damaged
wood with a premium filler. |
 Finally
we prime and spray-finish using a small touchup gun and a steady hand
(left).
