Title: Latest project
Post by: ProWallGuy on May 11, 2007, 10:49:03 PM
This here is a job we just wrapped up phase 1 on. A beautiful pad built in 1935. The new owners hired us to remove some wallcoverings, prep, prime, and paint walls, ceiling, and trim. The previous owner was a widower in his 90's, and had no children. The house hadn't been touched (painting or decorating wise) since the early 60's. It was like walking into a time capsule. Everything was in perfect shape. The wallcovering was awesome, looked like it had been installed yesterday. The trim was all lead oil, and was in pristine shape. The walls were a flat oil, and you could tell it had all been brushed; a roller had never seen the inside of this house. I took hundreds of pics throughout the job, and the new homeowners (2 engineers GULP!) were thrilled with the outcome.

I was messing around with photobucket today, and found I could create a slideshow of pics, instead of hot-linking a ton of them here. Try this link, see if it works.

WOW what a house love how they dressed up the walls back in those days, just gorgous.

Paint looks tight real nice PW great job nice to have happy customers makes painting feel like it's still an art, and we're are the arteests ;D.

Wow! You and your crew do incredible work Tim. I love all that trim work. Reminds me of some of the old homes I used to paint when I lived on the east coast.

And great photos too.
