Skim coating is often needed

Lots of patching. Whoever did the finishing work 25 years ago, didn't do a very good job, so all the seems in the drywall had to be re-coated. We couldn't leave it like it was. So since we were there, we decided to just go ahead and fix it. I am glad we did, as it resulted in a much nicer finished product!

We use a product called Dust Control by USG, which cuts down on the air born dust significantly.
Once the patching is completed, we prime all of our patch work with oil primer. Using oil primer, seals the patches, so that they don't degrade the sheen of the top coat. It also prevents any possible staining from coming through the top coat as well.

Proper Prep Leads to the Best Results




We also primed, and painted the living room ceiling, and painted the living room walls:




Job completed in 3 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.

Bathroom Water Damage Repair & Painting These homeowners had a plumbing leak from the 2nd floor bathroom, into the fist floor bathroom ceiling.
