There were a few surprises with this one. A couple of hard to reach areas proved to be a bit of a challenge to reach safely. In the end, we were able to make it happen using scaffolding. Initially we weren’t planning to use any scaffolding, however turns out we needed it.
First we pressure wash the exterior of the home to remove dust and dirt. Then we manually scrape the loose pealing paint, power sand the rough areas spot prime the bare spots, then caulk. After we apply two full coats of paint to all areas being painted. This ensures a long lasting durable finish.

This area proved to be more difficult than anticipated, so we set up scaffolding to get to this difficult to reach area.

Making progress
The cedar shake on the top left took a bit longer than we anticipated. Plus the high heat and 100% humidity didn’t help at all.
Making progress. The scaffold proved to be much more useful. Being on wheels allowed us to wheel it around as needed.
On to the front… This is where the transformation really took place!
Stacy has nerves of steel!
That corner proved to be difficult to get too so we had to get creative. Using my grandfathers A jacks, we created a small platform to set the ladder on so we could do this otherwise impossible to access area
We went ahead and repainted the railing even though it wasn’t part of the contract to make it look nicer. We also painted the downspout stand pipes and the ugly gas meter pipes black to make everything look that much nicer.
Pictures do this home a dis-service. The house is glowing!

Carrigan Painting ( Dave and Stacey ) did a remarkable job repairing my lathe and plaster ceilings in two of my rooms. They were particular in their prep work, to contain the mess. They did such a great job, and were a hoot to listen to, I actually miss seeing them when I get home! I would definitely use them in the future , they are perfectionists.

After I tried to repair a water-damaged ceiling in one of our bedrooms (and failed spectacularly), Dave and his cousin Stacy came to the rescue, erasing all evidence of my mistakes. They also painted that room, a walk-in closet, a bathroom, and a hallway, with careful attention to detail. We were so pleased with their work that we plan to hire them again for other projects in the near future.
They completed the job within the estimated time frame and left everything clean and beautiful. They're a great team, professional and pleasant, and we recommend them highly.

Dave and helper arrived on time and worked long and hard to prep an older and rusty metal barn. They got all the details right, finished on time and were very knowledgeable. Work proceeded quickly and the result looks great! We plan on hiring them again for upcoming indoor painting.

We recently hired Carrigan Painting to paint our whole upstairs area including walls, ceilings and lots of trim. We are so happy with the results! David and Stacy are very knowledgeable, professional and so pleasant to work with. They transformed these unused rooms into such an inviting space! They have high standards and take so much pride in their work. They were even willing to come and help with touch ups after our carpet installers made marks on our walls. They are such a great team and truly want their customers to be happy. I highly recommend them for all your painting needs!!
