Skim Coating

March 18th, 2011

Skim coating is the logical alternative to re-sheetrocking bad walls. Sometimes, hanging new wallboard seems to be the only solution to rid yourself of bad looking walls. With the proper primer followed by a professionally applied skim coat of spackle, we can make damaged wallboard look as good as new. Wallboard installation requires the removal of moldings and could involve removing radiators. Skim coating can be done with a minimum of disruption and at a fraction of the cost. Since we wet sand our spackling, we minimize dust. So, if you have damaged walls, contact us for a quote.

Painting New Construction

March 4th, 2011

Repainting existing residences is different from painting a newly renovated space.  Painting of new construction should be done by a qualified professional.  There are many facets to new construction and addressing those individual items with professionally applied, quality materials will add value to the project.  Priming new wallboard and trim, filling nail holes with putty, filling separations with caulk – the preparation work is a labor intensive and time consuming process.   But, the preparation done on new construction is an important step in enhancing the appearance of the space.

When the new project is finally completed, it is doubtful that you will get compliments on the framing or how well the insulation was done.  No one will see the pipes and the wires that are hidden behind the walls.  But, people will notice the paint job.  And it is the quality of the paint work that will represent the time, the effort and the dollars you invested in your newly constructed space.

Contact us. We would be more than happy to bid on your project.
