Painting is one of the quickest ways to transform the décor of your home. The goal is to create a fresh new feel to your home, letting the elements you want to highlight, such as the architecture, your furniture and paintings, to stand out. The colors and products you choose for your painting project play a huge role in accomplishing this. It is my pleasure to add my expertise and provide a few suggestions (if it would be appreciated) so that your new space can be created as envisioned.

Exterior painting is much more than a color. It is a critical component of your homes 'building envelope' that is engineered to protect the structure. It is essential that proper care be given to preparing the surfaces to be painted. This includes scraping, loose paint, priming bare surfaces, caulking to stop moisture penetration and only then apply a proper film (mil) thickness of quality paint top coat that will protect and keep your home looking great for years. The attention to the preparation and quality of finish top coats is what separates us from other painting companies.

Natural wood log homes, cedar shakes, fences and decks require a little more ongoing maintenance but when properly prepared are hard to beat for sheer beauty. Generally you will be applying a stain which is meant to penetrate the surface of the wood. You typically do not want to create a heavy surface film on your wood finish because this will ultimately fail creating a nightmare for the next time you have to refinish the wood surface. If the wood is in good shape using a transparent or semi transparent stain will allow the natural grain of the wood to feature. Most stains have a flat sheen though there are a few products that have a soft satin finish.

Another easy way to update your home is to install new hinges, handles and cabinet hardware. The next step is to replace the doors and new trim, Options are numerous but can make a huge transformation to your home.

Along with painting, lighting creates one of the largest transformations to your home décor. Cons​iderat​ion is given not only to the lights structural design but al​so the warmth of lighting. Installation of dimmers is also a great consideration to be made for creating mood for a room.

Occasionally replacing rotten or damaged wood prior to painting or staining becomes necessary. A quality repair not only fixes the damage but also becomes part of the home and becomes unnoticeable when compared to the original structure.
