Interior Painting SU Colonial

This week Donigan Painting worked on an older home in the SU area.  This customer needed their living room and master bedroom repainted.  Due to sensitivity to paint odor we used no VOC paint from Purcell's Paint's.  If you are allergic or irritated by paint odors this is the way to go so you do not smell anything.  No VOC means there are no volatile organic compound's floating around as the paint dries.  They chose a dark grey low sheen color for the living room and a light green low sheen paint for their master bedroom.  The product used in both rooms was Benjamin Moore's Ultra Spec 500 No VOC interior paint.  We used the same product to repaint the molding in an ultra white semi-gloss finish.  All molding was taped out for clean straight lines, walls were sanded to smooth, dings and dents were floated out with joint compound, floors were protected.  Here are some pictures of how it turned out.

Interior Painting Fayetteville NY-Syracuse NY

Donigan Painting worked on a whole house interior repaint this past week in Fayetteville.  This newer colonial needed to be freshened up before being put up for sale.  The 4 bedrooms, living room, dining room, entry hallway, stairway and office were two coated.  The master bedroom was a light green and one of the bedrooms was a dark blue with a blue ceiling so three coats were needed in each for optimal coverage.    The original colors were yellow and beige through out and changed to Classic Ivory from Sherwin Williams in their low lustre finish Cashmere Paint .  For the uninitiated low lustre is a combination of eggshell and satin sheens.  It's more or less satin.  As usual all furniture was centered and covered with plastic, switch/outlet plates were removed, all the natural wood molding was taped out and drop clothes were put down on finished floors.  The walls dings-dents-holes were filled with joint compound, sanded to smooth and cleaned.  The ceilings were coated twice with SW's Eminence Ceiling Paint in a flat bright white.  In addition to painting we also refinished a bunch of the wood windows that had faded due to sunlight.  Here we removed the mutin's, sanded the old polyurethane off and three coated them with a satin oil polyurethane.  The pictures below show the entry hallway after painting, the master, the blue room before-after and last the master before.
