House painter
Cabinets are difficult to paint from stain and the preparation takes many hours.
Covering all the non painted services.
After sanding off most of the varnish and stain. 2 coats of primer
It takes about 3 days to finish this quality of product.
This is the finished product. We power washed, caulked and painted it 3 different colors. We also painted the shed. The product that we found to be the best against fade and weather is Diamond Vogel. Paramount Satin. It also touches up without flashing.
As a House Painter I have learned that making straight lines is an art. First nothing is straight, the Framing and 2 by fours are not straight, the drywall is not hung straight, and the taping of the corners are not straight. So as the painter it is my job to create a straight line. Using a straight edge or a level will not work because then you are straightening out a corner that was not straight to begin with!! Creating a line that looks straight is a work of art and like a painting may take a couple coats from different directions to make it possible. This is the reality of painting and it is a challenge that I relish in:)
Drywall and Mudding
Finish Paint!!
So no matter what type of covering your house has it needs to be painted! Especially in Northern Colorado and along the Front Range. As you head to Red Feather Lakes on the edge of Livermore. Look to the right before you head down the hill and you will see this house we painted last Summer(2017). Stucco absorbs paint because of it porous texture. It is recommend to do it sooner than later so that you do not have to repair the cracks from waiting too long!
This exterior in Fort Collins had been neglected for years and the siding is starting to deteriorate. When a house is not maintained it will peel in random places where no peeling had occurred before Now that it has been painted a maintenance program should be set in place with yearly inspection to catch any problems like painting touch ups or caulking touch up. This cost is much lower and extends the life of paint so that it does not need to be repainted every 5 years!

This was the Local Team Mobile. A challenging job which I really enjoy! Finding the correct color and as you can see not bleeding onto the white wall next to it!!
What is the reason for doing work? Money? Family? I had this discussion with a couple of trades people in the last couple of weeks. After, I thought why do I work. I have painted for 35 years. What drives me to work. Integrity. That is that I do the best job on each job that I do which means.
These are some of the items that I cover in each job and if it takes me additional time to make sure that, before I leave each job. I do it with Integrity.
