Painting Syracuse NY

Donigan Painting had the pleasure of working on an exterior in Manlius recently.  The house was a beige color that had a ton of chipping and peeling paint.  We started by hand scrapping off all the loose paint and followed up with pressure washing off all the remaining dust-dirt.  Next we oil primed all the bare wood from scrapping and caulked gaps and seams.  Following this two coats of Benjamin Moore's Exterior Aura flat white was applied with a sprayer and brush application.  This is a high quality product that is 100% acrylic so it stretches and sticks on much better than a paint with more water in it.  When protecting your investment it's worth paying a little more for a product that delivers the absolutely best results.  You pay for what you get with paint so spend the extra 15 a gallon and your repaint will last much longer.  The homes shutters where painted a jet black satin finish to wrap this paint job up.

Painting Syracuse NY

Donigan Painting and Remodeling had the pleasure of repainting a dutch colonials dining room with coffered ceilings this past week.  The walls needed extensive prep work which included applying a skim coat, sanding to smooth and applying a high quality primer to seal it.  In this case we used Seal-Grip by Benjamin Moore an interior/exterior acrylic primer that provides an excellent bonding surface for your paint.  You cannot scratch this stuff off once it's on.  We will be using the same product in an industrial setting next week on cinder block in a heavily trafficked warehousing company.  Once all the surfaces have been sanded to smooth we taped out all the wood molding to protect it and applied Benjamin Moore's flat white Waterborne Ceiling Paint 2x.  The walls will be being wall papered with a Classic Disney themed pattern we picked out from Sherwin Williams next week.  Pictures will be posted once it is papered.  If you are bored with paint the new patterns and textures in  wallpaper is worth checking out for some variety.  Take a minute to stop by your favorite paint store and look thru what they have to offer.  Also coming is a kitchen remodel we will be completing this week that was a total gut from studs out-electrical-plumbing-cabinets-flooring.  Stay tuned!
