Interior Exterior House Painting Contractor Painter Syracuse NY

This week Donigan Painting completed and exterior restain in Liverpool, NY. Nick is selling his townhouse and needed to have the front and backside scraped and restained in order for his buyers home loan to go thru. His hoa insisted this be done before he sells and with FHA backed loans often times there can be no peeling paint on a home before it is sold. Enter my painting company to fix the problem. We started by hand scraping both sides of his townhouse and then sanding the cedar clapboards to smooth for a perfect finish. Old caulk around windows and doors was removed then recaulked with a 25 year silicone caulk to match the white molding. Loose boards were nailed down and the entire site was vacuumed clean before starting the stain process. Since temperatures in Syracuse in March can vary by a lot we had to wait for the perfect time frame to allow it to set up properly and dry properly when temperatures at night were staying above 32 for at least three nights. Wednesday was that day so in the warm 50 degree sun two coats of Sherwin-Williams WoodScapes Solid Stain were applied. Once again Donigan Painting was able to provide a fix to have his house done before April 1st so that his buyer could finance it. Yesterday before I left his house the realtor put the sold sign out. Nick called me last night and is very happy everything worked out and his plans to move are in order.

Recently Donigan Painting completed an interior paint job in Syracuse's Eastwood. Karen needed to have her living room and dining room updated. The dated colors from the previous owner did not suit her taste and it was time for a change. After discussing what color scheme worked for her she picked out two colors from Sherwin-Williams. To start one coat of Pittsburgh Ceiling Paint, from Purcell's Paints, was applied to both ceilings to brighten them up. Next the walls ding-dents-nail holes were filled with joint compound, pole sanded to smooth, damp sponge cleaned to remove dust. Two coats of Sherwin-Williams Cashmere in an eggshell finish were applied to the walls. The molding was caulked to fill gaps, nail holes were wood puttied and it was sanded to scuff the surface for the new paint to stick. To wrap this one up two coats of Benjamin Moore's Advanced Alkyd white semi-gloss were applied to the base, door, window molding.

Last week Donigan Painting completed an interior repaint in Camillus, NY. Eric and Jennifer were looking to update a few areas in their home and called in an expert to get it done right the first time. Their living room, stairway hall and kitchen needed a fresh coat of paint. After choosing colors at their local Sherwin-Williams they sent them over, we set the start date, signed off on the work and they sent the deposit. When we arrived we started out by centering and covering their furniture with plastic, removing hardware-switch/cover plates, drop cloth covering the floors and taping out as needed. Dings, dents and nail holes were filled with joint compound, sanded and then primed. Gaps and nail holes in their molding were caulked and wood puttied. The walls were pole sanded with fine grit sandpaper to remove any imperfections and the molding was scuffed to remove the shimmer then vacuumed and wiped down. Next the ceilings in each room were cut in then rolled out with Pittsburgh Ceiling Paint from Purcell's Paints. Following this all the molding was brushed and rolled in with Benjamin Moore's Advanced Waterborne Interior Alkyd Semi-gloss White. The next day we taped and draped the molding with paper then applied two coats of Sherwin-Williams Cashmere Eggshell in their color of choice pole sanding in between coats for a smooth-reflective finish that is show quality. To wrap this one up the furniture was reset, new bright white covers were placed on outlets/switches, the floor were vacuumed and all trash was removed and discarded off site.

Recently Donigan Painting completed an interior repaint in Syracuse, NY. John and Jennifer wanted to infuse their taste in color in their new home in Sedgwick. The previous owners had lived there for many decades and it showed by the dated colors and decor. Many rooms had 80's style wallpaper and colors that fit that era. So to start we spent the better part of a week removing wallpaper and thoroughly cleaning the walls to remove the paste residue. Once they were clean they were pole sanded to smooth to knock down any snags or paper left behind. Following this one coat of PPG's Seal Grip Primer was applied to most of the walls to give the new paint a sound surface to adhere to. All the ceilings throughout were then liberally one coated with a half inch nap and Pittsburgh Ceiling Paint available at Purcell's Paints. Their original wood molding was sanded, cleaned, caulked, puttied then primed. Next two coats of Benjamin Moore Impervo Satin White were applied giving new life to their very dated molding without breaking the bank on replacing it all. The walls were floated as needed to cover cracks-settling and ding-dents were filled with joint compound for a smooth finish once the paint was applied. Their well cared for oak hardwoods were covered with drop clothes and two coats of Sherwin-Williams Cashmere eggshell in their color choices were put on in every room of their 3000 sqft home. The results are stunning and they couldn't be happier with the high quality results from a master painter performing the job.

This week Donigan Painting completed and interior repaint in Liverpool NY. Maryellen is a longtime customer who called because she needed here homes ceilings and a few rooms walls repainted to freshen it up. She really likes using bright white semi-gloss on her ceilings instead of your standard flat white paint because it reflects more light. Since she is living there and has a ton of stuff we started this job by taping and draping 8 foot plastic around all the walls so that pictures and furniture along them did not have to be moved or taken down. Some furniture was centered and covered with plastic, the floors were dropped out and hardware was taped off temporarily. To prep her ceilings cob webs and dust were vacuumed and damp wiped with a sponge to clean. Following this one coat of Sherwin-Williams Promar 200 bright white semi-gloss was applied throughout both floors of her home. Next two coats of SW's Cashmere in a tan eggshell finish were applied to the walls in her stairway and hall with pole sanding in between coats for a smooth-glass like finish. Once completed the plastic was taken down, furniture was replaced and floors were vacuumed.

Last week Donigan Painting completed an interior repaint in Jamesville, NY. Bailey and Derrick just moved in to their new home and wanted to personalize the house with their own taste in colors. As soon as the colors were picked out we went right to our local Sherwin-Williams and ordered the paint. To start we removed damaged sections of the ceilings throughout the house that had cracked or shifted from the house settling. The separated sections were cut out with a utility knife, cleaned, then filled with joint compound to be flush with the rest of the ceiling. Once these areas had set up new ceiling texture was applied to match the existing pattern. Following this one coat of Pittsburgh Ceiling Paint was applied to all the ceilings. Special care was taken to protect their new oak hardwoods and furniture by taping and draping plastic over all of it and placing drop clothes throughout. Their wood molding was taped off around the base, doors and windows also. Next dings-dents were filled with joint compound on the walls then they were pole sanded to smooth for a glass like finish. Following the prep work two coats of Promar 200 Eggshell finish were applied to the walls. In addition to the painting their utility rooms wall that connected with their garage was repaired from significant water damage. About 6 inches from the floor up the wall was thoroughly water logged from run off in the garage that was cut out, allowed to dry with the help of a fan for two days then replaced with mold resistant sheet-rock, floated, and sanded to match the existing wall. It was recommended that they have a mason pitch their garage floor to the outside of their house so the water does not keep running into their interior wall causing water damage and mold. We'll be back as soon as the weather breaks to stain their house and deck!

This week Donigan Painting is kicking off the exterior painting season in Liverpool, NY. Nick needs to have his townhouse stained, is selling it and needs to satisfy his HOA's requirements. In order to make sure he is taken care of immediately and in compliance with his hoa we sent the paperwork out within 24hrs, signed off on the contract, finalized the colors, and set the start date as weather permitting. Luckily Puxatony Philly has Spring in the air early this year making it possible to get out this week and scrape and prep his townhouse. So to start all the peeling stain will be removed, contained, cleaned and disposed off as we work. Once this is done doors and windows will be caulked with a 25 year silicone caulk. Following this stain will be applied to the bare wood as a primer then hit again with a top coat. In Nick's case it's a front and back of a townhouse making it a quick two day job that will send him on his way, satisfy the hoa, and help sell his home.

Recently Donigan Painting completed an interior repaint in Manlius, NY. Jen just bought a new home and wanted to completely change the colors in every room to suit her taste. She picked a neutral palate throughout the house. Her four bedroom 3000 square foot colonial was transformed to her ideal home within two weeks. To start we applied two coats of Pittsburgh Ceiling Paint throughout each room. A few areas were primed with PPG's Seal Grip that had very dark colors, wallpaper was removed from her dining room, the sun porch's knotty pine was primed with oil based. Various cracks and sags were repaired with joint compound, sanded and primed. Two coats of Sherwin-Williams Cashmere Eggshell in her specified colors were applied to the walls. Before and in between coats of paint the walls were pole sanded so they were perfectly smooth. We wrapped this one up by applying Benjamin Moore's Impervo Satin Bright White to the base-door-window-crown molding after it had all been sand scuffed to remove the shiny finish then wiped down to clean.

Interior Exterior House Painting Contractor Painter Syracuse NY

For the past two weeks Donigan Painting had the pleasure of working in Savannah, NY. Matt and Bethanne called a few weeks ago because while they were out of town their boiler broke and saturated their home with all kinds of nasty smoke and resins. As a result their insurance company paid to have me repaint their entire interior and install a new drop ceiling in their large refinished basement. Initially you could see black smoke resin on almost all their walls and a smokey smell permeated through out the house. So when we began we started by wiping down the walls with bleach and water to neutralize the odor and clean the walls. Following this three coats of Pittsburgh Ceiling Paint were applied to make the ceilings bright white again. Next the walls were pole sanded to smooth then three coats of Sherwin-Williams Super Paint were applied in many different colors in eggshell finish for easy cleaning and a light shine to reflect light. To wrap this one up 1200 sqft of drop ceiling tiles were cut and installed in their finished basement.

Recently Donigan Painting completed an interior repaint in Syracuse's Sedgwick Neighborhood. John and Joanne wanted to freshen up their living room, kitchen, dining room, hallways and half bath. They were undecided on colors so I recommended making a visit to their local Sherwin-Williams retailer to look over colors that would fit their style. After consulting with the store rep they chose two colors. When we began we started by centering and covering all their furniture in each room. Drop clothes were meticulously laid out to protect their newly refinished oak floors. We pole sanded the walls for a smooth finish, filled dings-dents with joint compound, cleaned and primed as needed. One coat of Pittsburgh Ceiling Paint was applied through out each area followed by two coats of Sherwin-Williams Cashmere in an Eggshell finish on the walls so that it was slightly shiny and easy to clean. We then sand scuffed the molding throughout, wiped it down, then apllied two coats of Benjamin Moore's Advanced Paint in a bright white semi-gloss finish. Once the painting was completed we reset the furniture and left each room spic and span.

Recently Donigan Painting completed an interior repaint in Fayetteville, NY. Susie called for an interior quote to repaint her new homes first floor which included her entries, living room, dining room, kitchen, half bath, office and foyer. A few rooms needed wallpaper removed and minor prep work to the walls to make them paint ready and smooth. She choose Simply White in an eggshell finish for the entire floor from Benjamin Moore for the walls and the same color in a satin finish enamel for the molding and doors. To start we applied one coat of Pittsburgh Ceiling paint through out, then two coats of Simply White to the walls followed by one coat of Simply White in BM's Impervo Satin for a lasting-durable finish on the molding and doors.

Last week Donigan Painting completed an interior repaint in Dewitt, NY. John and Lisa needed their living room, entry hall/stairway, and kitchen painted. They decided to go with a gray palate for their color choices. On this job we painted the ceilings, walls and base molding. To start the walls and base molding were sanded, dings-dents were filled with joint compound, furniture was centered and covered in each room. Sanding removes snags from the walls left from previous painting and makes it extremely smooth so the eggshell finish will look like glass when it has set up. The base molding is sanded to remove the shiny finish or dull it so new paint will stick. Once the prep work is done we applied one coat of Pittsburgh Ceiling Paint, followed by two coats of Sherwin-Williams Super Paint in an eggshell finish making it easy to clean with the lightest of finishes or shine. To pull it all together the base molding was one coated with Benjamin Moore Impervo Satin white.
