Kitchen Painters in Tonawanda NY - Repaired some water damage, Painted Walls & Ceilings

Wallpaper Removal & Painting



Picking colors is sometimes a challenge for homeowners. There are so many options! Picking the correct color for any given space can sometimes prove difficult as colors look different depending on the time of day.  Which is why we offer free color consultation with all signed contracts. We advise homeowners to wait until they speak with Stacy prior to choosing a color. Given the cost of paint and a color change after the fact, its best to speak to our expert first. 



A small hallway


Some minor water damage to the kitchen ceiling from a roof leak which has been repaired. There is also a crack that the homeowners wanted us to repair as well.



Once the wallpaper was removed, we washed the walls. After which we primed the walls with an oil primer. 



Minor water damage and a plaster crack turned into a larger repair. The plaster ceiling was skim coated at some point with drywall compound which lost adhesion and pealed off a bit. 


While waiting for other areas to dry, we painted the downstairs hallway. The color on the walls leading to, and in the basement is Winter Wheat by Benjamin Moore.







Time to complete: 4 days.

Ceiling dripping? - Here is how to Limit Expensive Damage

First: Don't panic! The most important thing you can do is gain control over the situation. That starts by poking a hole in the ceiling and letting the water out. Make sure you have a bucket, a trash can. The goal here is control where the water goes. You may not be able to stop the flow, but if you can control where that flow goes, you can minimize the damage. Let the Water Out! A screw driver works well, or in the case above- a tree branch! The ceiling is completely saturated, so creating a hole is easy. A small hole, is cheaper and easier to fix, than a big hole. Often times with water-damage, the drywall panel will warp necessitating replacement of a larger area, but you don't want to get into the level of demo right now. Small hole is all that is needed, or a bunch of small holes. I have personally removed over 6 gallons of water from a dripping ceiling by poking holes in it. This is something you can do yourself. If you don't have a ladder and can't reach the ceil

Water Damage Ceiling Repair, Ceiling Painting, in Snyder, NY - The "Buterfly House"

Water Damage Plaster Ceiling Repair This home in Snyder, NY had a water leak around their fireplace chimney. This is actually quite common, the masonry of the chimney, reacts to temperature changes differently than the surrounding structure.  This has been an on going leak spanning many years.  We removed the water damaged plaster and drywall compound (from a previous repair) as well as chipped off the pealing paint. 60 years of paint, often will lose adhesion to the glass like finish of the plaster. So while a ceiling or wall may appear to be intact, after suffering water damage, chip the paint and it may all peal off with a sharp putty knife. You often can't tell by just looking at it. Using Drywall to Repair Plaster Since this area was previously repaired using drywall compound, we used drywall compound to fix it.  Sometimes you can get away with using plaster to repair these previously repaired areas, however due to the paint issues (pealing) we opted to use compound instead.
