Preservation Painting
Since 2015 we have specialized in historic building repairs and restoration, including painting. Our painting methods and system have been developed using recommendations from the National Park Service’s Historic Preservation Briefs, Window Preservation Alliance’s Historic Treatment of Wood Windows, H-I-S Coatings and Dunn Edwards technical specifications.
We have brought some of the most innovative window repair methods to the market that combine new technology with timeless craftsmanship. We are recognized nationally for our advances in window repair and restoration. We have completed repair work on some of the most historic homes and buildings in the region.
Our PROCESS
Paint Prep - While most painters are power washing to remove paint, our process is to clean the surface, hand scrape, and feather sand the surfaces to either a Class I, II or III paint removal based off current paint conditions and recommendations from the National Parks Service. Specific primers are applied based on the surface being painted through a spray and back brush or back roll method to fully coat the surface and reduce caulking used.
Paint Application - Premium paints, not contractor grade, are used to coat the surface through a sprayed and back brushed or rolled application or hand painted as specified by the project.
Window & Doors - For full exterior painting projects windows and doors can be either restored or painted.
