Kitchen is a place which every woman wants to be perfect. In fact, that's a room which most of the people want to see first. One of the most effective ways to change the impression in the old or obsolete kitchen, is to change cabinetry. New counter tops, appliances, hardwood floors or tile is a good addition, but that's a big hole in a budget and deserves a careful consideration. And of course it is a time and money consuming process. But if you want to change kitchen to modern and neat appearance and save some money, we would recommend to paint or repaint cabinets, put new cabinet door handles and cabinet hitches (brushed nickel works the best).
Pressure washing or power washing of the house is a free service in almost every exterior job, that we do. Pressure wsher helps us to remove dirt, mildew and grime, which ensures proper adhesion for the paint. In many cases pressure washing of the house, driveway, decks and patios, roof and gutters can do the trick. The house look cleaner and brighter, for the fraction of house painting cost.
Exterior painting (outside, outdoor), that's where knowledge and understanding of every painters product is the most important. Whether it is wrong preparation, bad choice of paint or primer, improper technique or even wrong time. All that will reflect in longevity of exterior finish. From our experience, exterior painting job should last at least 10-15 years for a new house before paint discoloration or any trouble spots appear, 8-10 years for repainted house. If house was painted improperly you will see first trouble signs in 2-3 years.
On every interior (inside, indoor) project, we understand that we are strangers in your house. That's why our goal to be very efficient, quiet and clean, to finish our job on your time frames, without unnecessary delays. We working on hours, that are convenient for you, and every evening when we leave, we leave your home as clean as possible. Before we start: We picture interior room configuration, in order to move furniture in right place later and hang pictures, where they belong. We ask our customer about their concerns and preferences.
The bigger the city you live in, the more your house is exposed to graffiti. For every messed painted wall, we would recommend to repaint it with the matching color. But for the brick, concrete and different stone material that need to be clean, we use appropriate paint removing methods like pressure washing, solvents, acids and heat to safely remove graffiti. For protection against future graffiti attacks, we recommend graffiti protective coatings. On every house, more or less, there are places that need to be fixed.
Staining, sealing or waterproofing are there mostly for one reason, to protect wood and stone materials from weather exposure. Deck or patio, fence or shingle siding of the house need to be protected with stain or sealer, which shoud be applied every 3 to 5 years. It also helps to fight with mold and mildew. Whether it is rain or sun, there are many products on the market to protect and at the same time to decorate your house in all color variety. For concrete, slate, tiles, bricks, unfinished colored stucco and other porous stone materials there are clear sealant with silicone base on the market, that seals the surface, without changing appearance.
Wallpapers and wall covering is a great way to decorate walls even in 21 century. But if you decided to get something new on the wall surface, we will help you to remove your old wallpapers and fix the walls before applying coat of primer or paint. We use appropriate wallpaper removal techniques like dry-stripping, soaking and scraping, steaming to remove wallpaper or wallpaper border. Before applying a coat of paint we sand the glue residue off, patch any damaged part of the wall, match any damaged texture.
One of the drastic home improvements brings you acoustic ceiling removal. Removing old and obsolete popcorn texture brings modern look to your house and ceilings get virtually higher. In fact removing of the old texture is just half of the job. Another half is to smooth up or texture the ceiling and prepare it for the coat of paint. It is a time consuming process, which was originally omitted by the house builders to save few dollars and buried under popcorn texture. We care about your home. We make sure that every piece of furniture and floors are protected from the smallest dust particle.
