Interior House Painting Projects.
Our painters will cover carpets, remove wall hangings and move and cover furniture. We work with you to decide what types of paints and colors meet your decorating needs. Additionally, after each job is completed we place everything back in its original location.

Exterior House Painting Projects.
Our team prepares the surface of your house to ensure the best paint adhesion. Contaminants such as dirt, mold and mildew, can affect the quality of the exterior painting job. Pressure washing will remove most of the problem areas. However, we'll still need to scrape the remaining areas to remove any loose paint and perform any minor repairs that are needed. Lastly, we ensure that the caulking around joints and trim is in good condition. We use the highest quality exterior painting because it produces the best results. We can spray, brush or roll depending on the type of siding and paint to be used.

Deck Cleaning and Sealing
Our environment can have a devastating impact on decks and fences. Deck refinishing by power washing and sealing should be done on an annual basis to ensure your wood remains in tip-top condition. Our company uses a power washer to strip the wood down to its original condition and then we apply either sealant or stain and sealant to help protect the wood from the elements.

Gutter Cleaning
A handful of leaves and pine twigs sound pretty harmless. However, when they’re blocking the escape of rainwater from your roof, they can become quite costly. Clogged gutters can cause water to back up into your house and through your ceilings and walls—especially during the winter months when ice dams are prone to form. Properly functioning gutters should also route the water away from the foundation of your home which helps prevent basement leaks, rotted wood, insect infestation and erosion problems.

As part of our exterior house painting service we can remove all debris from the gutters and the downspouts, inspect the gutters for obvious maintenance issues, and clean the interior and exterior surfaces. As part of our Carpentry service we can install gutters or gutter guards to better help protect your home and ease your maintenance needs.
