Deck restain-Skaneateles NY

This week Donigan Painting had the pleasure of refinishing a deck and rails in beautiful Skaneateles on the lake.  This job was a referral from another deck and smoke house we did down the street last summer.  Joe's restain included all the railing-spindles-stringers-joists.  Before we stained everything was hand scraped, sanded, washed-scrubbed to remove mold-dust-dirt and screwed secure.  After preparing the surfaces we applied two coats of Sherwin-Williams Super-Deck Solid White.  Here is how it turned out.

Exterior Painting Syracuse NY-Tudor University

These past two weeks Donigan Painting had the pleasure of restoring and repainting a 1920's tudor located in the Syracuse University neighborhood.  These customers chose the A-Plan which included extensive sanding to feather out old buckling alligator skinned paint, thorough caulking and two coats of high quality Benjamin Moore Paint.  Since it is an older home built before 1978 lead safe practices included wet scraping, high mil plastic ground cover, specialty sanding tools and extensive cleaning with a hepa vacuum .  The prep work for this older home included washing dirt-dust off gently due to its stucco façade, hand scraping-cutting back loose paint, specialty machine sanding to feather in the scraped paint edges, oil priming bare wood, caulking seams-gaps, wood putty filling holes, glazing older windows.  A boom lift was used to reach peaks and other high points on this job.  Once the prep work was completed we applied two coats of paint that matched the existing colors in a low sheen and flat sheen.  The homeowners were very happy with the results and led to us staining their 100'+ of deck rail-spindles-stringers. This job also led to another repaint we will be doing around the corner from this home in a few weeks.
