Pressure washing

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.

Making progress..

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

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!

Ceiling dripping? - Here is how to Limit Expensive Damage

Image
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.

Restoring Elegance: A Comprehensive Plaster Repair - Update 3-25-24

 Plaster Repair in Amherst, NY Carrigan Painting is the only local painting company specializing in plaster repairs At Carrigan Painting, we specialize in plaster repairs like this one.   Trying to capture this plaster damage in photos proved more difficult than I anticipated. Anyways we removed the loose plaster, and the rotted out metal lath from a previous repair  The metal lath is from a another plasterer (probably my dad) from a long time ago (decades). Looks like they forgot to load basecoat on his truck, because the previous plasterer did the entire repair with finish coat plaster. That is why the wood lath is white. We had to be careful as there wasn't much holding up this ceiling. Most of the plaster keys were broken, and the lath nails rotted away. This was obvious due to the movement of the previous repair. Plaster isn't supposed to move when you push on it. Once the old plaster was removed, we installed metal lath directly to the existing wood lath. Almost all of ou
