Interior Exterior House Painting Contractor Painter Syracuse NY

This week Donigan Painting completed an interior repaint on Syrause's Northside. Mike owns a rental on Pond Street that had a long term tenant of 16 years that turned the large flat into a smokers paradise of yellow-orange ceilings and a funk on the walls that came off in brown streaks while scrubbing it down. To start two coats of Kilz Oil Primer was applied to every wall and ceiling throughout to neutralize the funk. After opening every window to air the place out and allowing 24 hours for the oil primer to set up, it takes longer than latex or acrylic to dry, everything was ready to be super coated with Sherwin-Williams Master Hide in an off white and Pittsburgh Ceiling Paint dead flat white. After two coats the apartment looks good, smells less and will be show ready to rent once the new carpet is installed. Take a look at the smoke alarm on the ceiling in the second picture to get an idea of what I mean. The solution to the funk worked. You may want the funk but sometimes you don't. You may think I gotta have that funk? Well in this case you don't. You maybe thinking we're moving, we smoke, a smokers paradise is suitable for our needs-we want the funk. In that case you are correct to want the funk but with new carpet and at least one coat of paint so the walls still have a little funk.

Last week Donigan Painting completed an interior repaint in Baldwinsville, NY. Rodrigo and Joellen wanted to freshen up their home and get it ready to possible sell in the next year so they called in the pro's. The previous homeowners had a taste for brown colors and a 90's decor. Joellen chose a few shades of gray for her kitchen, living room, and two story foyer. She chose ultra-white for the doors and molding. To start we repaired her kitchens french doors framing with a few coats of joint compound to bring the jam flush. Her raised panel doors and molding were machine and hand sanded to remove the gloss finish to prepare them for new paint. You have to sand before painting molding-doors or it will scratch right off with a top coat. So after sanding the doors and molding were thoroughly cleaned with a vacuum and wiped down with a damp cloth. The doors knobs were removed and stored so there would be no brush strokes when they were painted prior to sanding. The moldings gaps were caulked and nail holes were wood putty filled then sanded. The walls in each room were pole sanded with 120 grit to smooth. Nail holes were spackled, sanded and cleaned. After the prep work was completed it was time for paint. The crown molding in each room was two coated with Sherwin-Williams Emerald Enamel Ultra-White Semi-gloss. The same product was used on the doors with 5 coats being applied with a fine nap roller for a smooth-glass like finish. Next two coats of Sherwin-Williams Promar 200 Eggshell were applied to the walls. All the door knobs and hardware was replaced, we cleaned up and reset the furniture to wrap this one up!

Last week Donigan Painting completed an interior repaint in Camillus, NY. Denise wanted to completely flip the style of her dutch colonials first floor. Her living room, sun room, dining room, kitchen, office, foyer, and stairway needed an update. She wanted to lighten up the dark old original wood molding with bright white. Her windows, base molding, door molding, railing, stringers-risers were all transformed from dark wood to bright white. To start all the molding was machine and hand sanded to remove the shiny gloss so the new paint would adhere. Next it was wiped down with mineral spirits to remove dust and clean it. Two coats of oil primer were applied followed by extensive caulking to fill seams-gaps between the walls and quarter round. Two ceiling repairs were made in the foyer and office were water had leaked that involved removing the damaged plaster and repairing it with joint compound to match the existing ceiling pattern. One coat of Pittsburgh Ceiling Paint was then applied to brighten them up. Two coats of Sherwin-Williams Promar 200 Eggshell finish were applied to all the walls in each room in various colors. To wrap her first floor up two coats of Sherwin-Williams Emerald Enamel Semi-gloss ultra white were applied to all the molding as well as the stair rail-risers-stringers. Here's how it turned out!

This week Donigan Painting completed an interior repaint in Cicero, NY. Ron and Jenna just bought a foreclosed property off of Rt.31. Their newer Ryan Home needed their personal touch and some updating from the previous owners so they called us. The neon green and beige theme had to go. So to start all the ceilings were one coated with Sherwin-Williams bright white ceiling paint Eminence. Unlike other brands this ceiling white is actually a bright white with no gray undertones or creme hints, it's as white as it comes. The walls dings-dents-nail holes filled with joint compound, sanded and cleaned. A few walls-ceilings needed sections of sheet rock taken out and replaced from water damage, then textured to match the existing pattern. All the walls were pole sanded to smooth to remove little snags and roller nap pieces from the previous painter. Two coats of Sherwin-Williams ProMar 200 in their spec colors/eggshell finish were applied to all the walls. Their base-door-window molding was sanded, caulked then two coat with Benjamin Moore's Advanced semi-gloss white to wrap this one up.

Interior Exterior House Painting Contractor Painter Syracuse NY

Recently Donigan Painting completed an interior repaint in Baldwinsville, NY. Joanna and Rob wanted to personalize their new house with a touch of color. The previous owners painted most of the inside with a tan color that was pretty dated. So when I showed up early for our initial appointment-walk thru Joanna was very excited to discuss different color options and how they would look with newly painted crown and brighter colored walls. After discussing a few colors she decided that lightening up the walls with a bright off white would do the trick. Fast forward three weeks to last Monday with the contract signed with her approval on the work order, color choices finalized and the deposit in hand we started the prep work bright and early. The crown-base-window-door molding were sanded to scuff the surfaces for new enamel paint to adhere correctly, the walls were pole sanded and any imperfections were repaired on the walls with joint compound, floated, sanded, cleaned and primed. Next one coat of Pittsburgh Ceiling Paint was applied to set the stage for reflecting bright light on to their newly painted walls. On this job we painted the kitchen, two story foyer, and the living room. All of the molding was caulked to seal gaps and nail holes were wood puttied then sanded. Two coats of Benjamin Moore Advance semi-gloss white were then applied. Following this two coats of Sherwin-Williams Cashmere Simply White in an eggshell finish were applied. Once the paint was applied the furniture was reset and we cleaned up the work areas.

Since he's a smoker the ceilings needed two coats of Pittsburgh Ceiling Paint to cover the staining. Before starting his furniture was centered and covered with plastic, cabinets-counters were covered as well as the floors with drop cloths. Dings and dents in the walls were filled with joint compound, sanded and spot primed. The walls were pole sanded to smooth and the molding was scuffed to get it ready to hold the new paint on. Two coats of Sherwin-Williams Cashmere in an eggshell finish were applied in a light gray. Following this one coat of Benjamin Moore Impervo Satin was applied to the base-window-door molding.

Monday Donigan Painting completed an interior repaint in Syracuse's Eastwood Neighborhood. Kristi called a few weeks ago for an estimate to paint her high ceiling stairway-upstairs hallway. She had recently purchased a new home and wanted to put her touch on this area. When she moved in the walls were gouged and dented and having three boys made maintaining flat white walls quite a chore. So to start the walls dings-dents were repaired with joint compound, sanded and cleaned. Her new railing was removed along with switch-outlet covers for smooth rolling when the paint went on. The base-window-door molding was caulked and sanded to prepare it for new paint. One coat of Pittsburgh Ceiling Paint was then applied brightening it up right away. Next two coats of Sherwin-Williams ProMar 200 Online (dark gray) eggshell were applied transforming the walls. To wrap this one up one coat of Benjamin Moore Advanced White semi-gloss was applied to all the molding including the stair stringers-risers.

Interior Exterior House Painting Contractor Painter Syracuse NY

This weekend Donigan Painting completed and interior repaint in Liverpool, NY. Maryellen is a long time customer who called me a few weeks ago. She was planning to repaint all the walls in her home and wanted my company to repaint her ceilings through out the house and her tall stairway-hallway going upstairs. Since she is a loyal customer so I gave her a great deal. When I arrived Saturday morning at 8 am I started the day by centering all the furniture in each room and covering it with painters plastic. Her living room and dining room drapes were carefully taken down and covered. The hardware, door knobs and switches were covered with tape. Drop cloth's were placed over the hardwood floors in each room and some of her pictures that were not taken down were covered with paper. Next the ceilings were cut in with Sherwin-Williams ProMar 400 white semi-gloss. She likes the high reflective sheen that semi-gloss has on surfaces and wants all the light she can get throughout her house so she chose semi-gloss. Once the ceilings were cut in one coat of paint was applied. The plastic and tape was then removed and her furniture was reset. Sunday the stairway-hallway walls were painted. The railing was removed and her wood molding was covered with plastic. Two coats of Sherwin-Williams ProMar 200 Dover White in an eggshell finish was applied. Her railing was replaced and we wrapped up the job by cleaning up.
