The “Jobs in Progress” page on my website is a great place to view photos of our current jobs (see Richardson Remodeling). Today we applied skip trowel texture to the walls in the Master Bath, which is seen a couple of times on the j.i.p. page. It is the room which is “greenrocked” which is a moisture resistant sheetrock that is green in color. We sprayed the cabinets yesterday using Sherwin Williams Promar 200 alkyd enamel with a semi-gloss finish. We painted some cabinets a great Tan color (SW 6107-Nomadic Desert) some an off white (SW 7008-Alabaster) and some in the Hall Bath and Vanity a really nice dark brown color (SW 6076-Turkish Coffee). We had primed them on Tuesday with an oil-based primer and spent Wednesday and part of Thursday sanding, cleaning, and doing any final prepwork to prepare for painting. The Kitchen cabinets had peeling issues from a paint job done only a few months ago in preparation to market the home (won’t mention any names). Nevertheless, lack of quality prepwork and exclusion of priming over the older enamel prohibited the new oil-based enamel from bonding well…so we had to strip all the old paint before priming and painting. Anyway…there’s a little “Prep 101″ for you…that’s all for now, but remember… good quality doesn’t cost, it pays in the long run.
Have a blessed weekend and look this one up for prepping, painting, or anything you do in life.

This job is one we are doing for some long time clients. It is a home they have purchased and are remodeling before they move in. We are currently working on the interior and trying to finish some on the exterior (which we should finish today). Most of our average jobs take from 2-5 days to complete. We have been on this site for a month now, which is the longest we’ve been on one jobsite in a really long time.
Outside we have pressure-washed the entire structure. We have also replaced some of the lap siding on the second story (an addition from circa 1978) that was in really bad shape. The brick was old and dated looking so it was painted. Eaves are painted in a darker accent color and shutters will be a different accent color. Check out photos to see it in progression. That’s all for now…Check back soon.
