Interior Exterior House Painting Contractor Painter Syracuse NY

Recently Donigan Painting worked with a customer in Fayetteville. Mike called to have some interior work done. Previously we had painted the exterior of his home and replaced fascia trim on the front of his house. His older home had settled and in many rooms the ceilings had cracked. In addition he also wanted to paint his kitchen, entry hall, and two bedrooms. After meeting with him and doing a walk through to assess exactly what needed to be done I gave him a price on the spot and followed up with a typed quote that listed in detail what would be done. The contract was signed, colors were selected, the start date was set, and a deposit was sent. The first day we started with floating out all the damaged ceilings with joint compound and then allowed them 12 hours to setup-dry. The same day the kitchen and hallways wallpaper were removed, the walls were scrubbed clean, and inconsistencies were floated out on the plaster walls. The next day we sanded out the ceilings then painted them twice, put one coat of paint on the kitchen, entry, and bedrooms walls after sanding and cleaning them. Next, the second coat of paint was put on the walls in each room, the door-base-window molding was caulked to remove gaps. The last day onsite we painted all the molding with one coat of Benjamin Moore's Impervo Satin White. Benjamin Moore's Regal Select Interior in eggshell finishes were used for the walls and Pittsburgh's Ceiling paint for the ceilings. He was very pleased with the results.

Recently Donigan Painting Worked with a customer in Syracuse's Sedgwick Neighborhood. Jim and Cathy were looking to brighten up their large living room room and entry hall-stairway. The original colors were tan. I recommended a softer off whites to lighten the areas up. After choosing colors from Sherwin-Williams Interior Collection we proceeded with Arcade White in the entry-stairway and Westhighland White in the living room. We meticulously prepared the walls by floating out inconsistencies on the plaster walls, filling nail-screw holes and sanding the walls down to smooth for a glass like finish. Once prep was completed two coats of Sherwin-Williams Cashmere in eggshell finish were applied, with sanding in between, to complete their project. This spring they have contracted us to change out the color on their exterior trim and doors from a mint green to a soft beige. As soon as the weather breaks and temperatures are consistently above 50 we will be there to complete their next project.

Recently Donigan Painting worked with a customer in Lyncourt. Ashley just bought a home and needed to have some exterior painting done to satisfy the FHA bank loan. With first time home buyers that choose this option for financing the government has strict protocols for chipping-peeling paint on older homes that may contain lead. Having worked with 100's of homeowners in this exact situation my company was in a position to fix this problem easily satisfying their requirements. Since the weather this time of year is a bit challenging we had to be a bit flexible in our approach with the small windows of temperatures above 50 degrees. To get the ball rolling we performed the prep work while the temps were still in the 40's. This included laying out heavy mil plastic to cover the ground, hand scraping the peeling paint, containing it with the plastic, thoroughly cleaning the areas we scraped with a hepa vacuum to remove all fine particles, properly bagging it and discarding of it legally. We had two days with temperatures in the 50's for 8-12 hours giving us the right window to apply the paint and allow it enough time to setup before the temps dropped again. The bank inspector showed up as we were packing up and approved the work allowing Ashley to move forward smoothly with this process. We threw in a couple extra's like her front door and a few overlooked areas just to make sure there were no snags and it payed off.

Last Fall Donigan Painting Worked with a homeowner on Syracuse's Northside. Kelli called for an exterior quote for her asbestos siding. After a color consult and choosing her beige-sage combo we went right to work. In this case her siding had accumulated a bunch of areas with mold. So we started by bleaching the problem areas then pressure washing the entire house to remove dirt and dust. Cleaning a house prior to painting is key so that the paint has a clean surface to cling on. Once it had dried out we started in painting the trim with Sherwin-Williams A-100 Exterior Paint - Shagreen in an eggshell finish. Following this one coat of SW's A-100 Harmonis Tan was applied. We scraped and sanded the entry stairways and two coated them with porch enamel in battle ship grey. Following the exterior painting of her home she contracted us to paint her entire interior over the winter which included many rooms with wallpaper, repainting all the ceilings-walls, and polyurethaning her original oak molding through out.

Recently Donigan Painting worked with a customer in East Syracuse. Debbie called to have her kitchen, family room, and dining areas painted. She chose Sherwin-Williams Lounge Green in an eggshell finish. The ceilings were painted with SW's Eminence Ceiling Paint one coat. The walls were 3 coated with Promar 200 and sanded in between coats with 220 grit for a uniform, smooth finish. Her base, door, and window molding was painted with ProClassic Bright White Satin. All nail holes, gaps in the molding, dents-dings were caulked and floated with joint compound. The results are fit for Good House Keeping. We fit her in over winter break so that it coordinated with her families ski trip and did not effect the daily routine. She initially had some trouble picking a color so I recommended Sherwin-Williams Color Visualizer to paint her rooms online to get a good idea how each color looked. Once the winter weather breaks for good she has us coming back to fix water damage caused from a leaky roof to her family rooms ceiling. In this case we will be removing a water logged section with new sheetrock then texturing it to match the rooms popcorn ceiling finish. One thing leads to another when you do excellent work!

Recently Donigan Painting completed an interior painting project for a customer in Cicero. Mike and Beth wanted to update their living room, kitchen and entry hall. To get the ball rolling we met to discuss exactly what they would like done, the level of service they required, their color choices, when this needed to be completed. They chose to go with a service plan that offered meticulous prep work and premium paint. Preparing their surfaces in this case involved thoroughly sanding the walls to knock down the orange peel finish the previous painter gobbed on as well as pieces of the roller nap and dust rolled onto the walls leaving visible inconsistencies that distorted the overall finish. They pointed out areas where paint was applied lightly leaving bleed through and obvious mismatches from one area to the next. They base, door, and window molding was not caulked leaving gaps though out. Nail holes needed to be filled and lines around all the rooms needed to be re-cut for perfectly straight lines meeting the wall to ceiling and wall to molding. Dings and dents were floated with joint compound, sanded, cleaned, and primed. All the molding was caulked to remove the gaps and nail holes were filled for a smooth finish. They choose a popular gray for the walls and bright white for the molding. The products used were Benjamin Moore's Aura, Impervo Waterborne Satin and Pittsburgh Ceiling Paint. After a few days of work their painting was completed and exceeded their expectations in uniformity and consistency that they were looking for. Two coats of paint were applied on the ceiling, walls and molding to completely transform their home.

Recently Donigan Painting worked with a home owner in Syracuse's Strathmore Neighborhood. I met John at a TNT meeting a few months ago and he said he needed a few rooms painted in his home sooner than later. We met and did a walk through to figure out what exactly he needed done and came up with a price that worked for him and his wife. They needed their living room , dining room, and kitchen painted. While they were out of town for a week we got it there and went right to work. Furniture was centered and covered with plastic and their newly refinished hardwoods had drop cloths placed over them. Once the walls were sanded, nail-screw holes filled with joint compound we started on the ceilings. Two coats of Pittsburgh's Ceiling Paint were applied. Next we cut in and applied two coats of Benjamin Moore Regal Select Interior in an eggshell finish with the colors they chose using their color visualizer. A quick note, if you are having trouble choosing colors go to Ben Moore's website and click on their paint a room tab. You can pick out any colors you can imagine and virtually paint any room they provide so you can get a very good idea of what it will look like. To finish things of we scuffed the base-door-window molding and applied one coat of Impervo Satin White. The results are stunning and their project was completed on time and on budget. Thanks for all the work!
