Interior Repairs

Sheetrock Patches, Tape Seams, Cracks, and Nail Pops

We look for these types of repairs as part of our standard process for quoting a job.  However, it never hurts for the homeowner to point out any areas of concern.

Woodwork

The painters have general carpentry skills and can handle window sill or shelf replacements, along with some simple trim carpentry.  For work involving a higher skill level for trim carpentry, we have some excellent carpenters that we work with, and will happily provide you with a referral.

Specialty Work

Custom Textures, Venetian Plasters, and Faux Finishes

Custom textures, Venetian plasters, and faux finishes are some examples of specialty work that involves being able to match what you have in your mind’s eye with what a specialty artist can do.  It is helpful to have a concrete example of what you are trying to achieve so that we can assess what it takes to duplicate that look.  Custom work is typically priced on a project-by-project basis, and it may take some time following the initial estimate appointment for us to be able to present  some options to you.

Acoustic a/k/a Popcorn Ceiling Scraping

If you have a popcorn ceiling that you want scraped, we will need to know when your house was built.  Homes built prior to the 1978-1979 time frame (we use before 1980 as our cut-off) ,may have asbestos in the ceiling texture mix.  This is only a health concern when it is disturbed, as scraping will do.  So while we can quote the work, we would not actually do it unless an asbestos test came back clear.  We can work with you to get this test done, however, it will be at your expense.  For more information on asbestos in ceiling textures, please read our Ask the Painter article, “When Should I Worry About Lead or Asbestos?”.
