Complete Exterior House Restoration: Carpentry and painting

We offer a variety of painting services .  Higher grade paint jobs includes extensive prep, including shaving off old drips and raised areas, filling imperfections, priming and painting,  For restoration work or customers that prefer a premium finishes we often utilize a modern premium grade, self-leveling paint that has the hardness and durability of an oil based paint (without the fumes).    

We offer exterior painting, re-glazing & repair of historic windows and exterior carpentry repairs.  Unlike many local painting companies we offer traditional paint jobs with a full hand scrape, full coat of primer and then two coats of paint.  This approach not only provides the best aesthetics but also maximizes the adhesion and longevity of the paint job. 

Most contractors in the northeast demolish plaster walls that can be repaired and resurrected.  We repair plaster using the same type of base coat plaster as the walls are originally constructed with.  We also have methods for reattaching lathe to existing plaster for permanent repairs
