This was a return to a customer that I hadn't been to since early 2022 - I was asked to paint 2 more bedrooms - from floor to ceiling, baseboards, door frames and crown molding - all one color - that color was: Swiss Coffee

This was an exterior wall paint - just the part where the sign for the subdivision is at the intersection to my neighborhood.  I removed the sign, painted the wall and the trim and reinstalled the sign just about 1" over from where it was.  All of the Tapcon screws that were installed had the heads bust off during removal.

Base: Cobblestone Path (Benjamin Moore)

Trim: HydroChrome (Valspar, discontinued color or not found)

Now when you drive by the intersection of Conway and Gatlin, you'll know who painted that section!

This is an exterior stucco repair.  This is being done ahead of a new roof being installed and then I'll return to do a full paint on the exterior afterwards.  Installed new PT plywood, water barrier, stucco, primed and painted.

Base:  BEHR Premium Plus Exterior Flat in a custom color match.  Selected a flat base so when I come back to paint again, I have a more porous surface for the Satin base to adhere to.

Exterior pressure wash and paint - RV Garage (or really big boat garage!)

Base: Candlelight Ivory

Trim: Ultra Pure White

Both in BEHR Premium Plus Exterior Satin

For the final job of 2023 (with the Cessna Airplane still ongoing), installed a new handrail for the top floor at the prospective new homeowners request.  These panels come preassembled, but you must purchase the mounting hardware separately.

Exterior awning install.  The rear screen door had been directly exposed to wind, sun, rain and is only 120 steps from the Beach (I've counted, twice) and rusted out within a year.  The new door hasn't arrived yet, but this job was set to be completed before the new door had arrived.  Added a valance to the back yard flood light as it was directly exposed to wind, sun and rain with no protection.

Merry Christmas!

Pressure washed the pool deck ahead of company arriving for the holidays!

This was a stucco repair from previous damage, unsure of what caused it.

Here we have the latest and what I believe could be the final job for this home that is on the market - this was one of a series of "pre-sale prep" jobs that were completed. I enjoyed working here a lot - made some good friends. Special thanks to Andy P for the initial recommendation to me!

This was a shelf build for the shop (Corvette Tech) so we can have a durable place to keep a lot of things off the ground and give us more space to work.  This was achieved with 2x12x8 (4), 2x12x10 (1), 2x12x12 (1), 4x4x8 (2), 2x6x6 (1) (as an I-beam) and 3" deckmate wood screws.  The 4x4x8 were set in the rafters so we could affix the 2x12 and make a solid foundation.

This was a repair from a water leak where the windowsill joined with the windows.  Replaced 1x2 and 1x6, drywall, textured and painted to the existing color:

Base: Solitary State

Trim: Cameo White

Cabinet paint, plus hardware and hinges.  Sanded and primed the cabinets - tinted the primer to "Loft Light", which is about 50% of what the cabinet colors were to what they were going to be - felt it was a good color in the middle.  Then, painted the cabinets, drawers in BEHR Cabinet, Door and Trim paint in Satin base tinted to Cameo White.  The hinges and handles were painted to Metallic Silver (KRYLON) and installed new 1/2 inch clear bumpers.

This was an exterior screened enclosure roof waterproof.  This product has a 10 year warranty and keeps whatever you apply it to, waterproof. APOC 243 Advanced Elastomeric White Roof Coating

Went ahead and touched up all baseboards and handrails that needed to be done on the 3rd floor and painted all of the baseboards downstairs today - a little closer to being ready to be placed on the market!

This, in large part, was a prep assist for a Gazelle helicopter.  Lots of sanding, priming, sanding, priming.  I did very little paint work on this helicopter, the only part I painted was a section of the right side landing gear (that's all I wanted to do!).  This includes installing sections of wing walk and the safety decals around the helicopter.  This took place over the course of a few weeks in 2023.

Back in 1999, my step dad, Larry Koster and I painted our house to my mom's, Melanie Seabrook, liking...she wanted the house pink and white, so we really didn't have much a choice but to follow orders!  So, after many years, it was time to paint it again and remove/replace the fence slats.  This includes the hardest part - the color selection process.  You'll see how the changes were...mainly to the accent color.  The colors selected were as follows:

Base: BEHR Marquee Exterior Satin in Crisp Linen

Trim: BEHR Marquee Exterior Satin in Shipyard

Accent: BEHR Marquee Exterior Semi-gloss in Very Navy

Fence: BEHR Waterproofing Wood Finish in Golden Honey

Sidewalk: BEHR 1 part epoxy in Slate Gray

In this one, over the course of a few days, pressure washed the pool deck and was set to only touch up where the chemicals were spilled on the deck, turned into painting the pool deck once more as the product had to be warranted out - this is noted and is great that BEHR stands behind their product and accepted the job to be warranted out.  Also removed a trailer full of old furniture to make room for new furniture, installed all new switch plate covers, removed the old hardware for the fence gates, at the request of the homeowner, converted them to a "barn door" style latch to provide more reinforcement to wind and then Waterproofed the new wood with BEHR Waterproofing Wood Finish in Golden Honey.  Plus, built a couple of couches - that was pretty cool as it really was fun - would definitely do that again.

This was a pool house done back in 2020 - remembered recently that I had never posted the photos of this job.  I don't recall the colors used, but it was the pool house as well as the wall that is on the lake.

The finishing touch to a job recently completed, painted the floor with BEHR 1 part epoxy in Slate Gray - good color to go with the  Stingray Blue, Ice Sculpture and Cameo White.

Revisiting an exterior paint job I did back in 2021, the homeowners changed the color of the doors afterwards and then wanted a better color to go with the body.  This color name is "Pashmina" (A-100 Benjamin Moore) and it goes very well with the body - great combo:

In a color that had quickly became one of my top 3 favorite colors ever used since 1995 is called "Half Sea Fog".

Base: Half Sea Fog

Trim: Pure White (SWP)

Accent: Dark Navy

All done in BEHR Marquee Exterior Satin, except the accent, which was completed in semi-gloss.

My customer saw a house on the back of the marketing materials for  "BEHR Dynasty 10-year color fade protection" and wanted their house to resemble the one on the marketing materials - the last 2 photos show what was originally set out to achieve.

Over a 3 day period, installed new baseboards in a bedroom, painted the bedroom and a bathroom, plus installed a 23 foot section of minion in the living room.  In the bedroom, I was able to swap colors - used the trim for the base and the base for the trim (Ice Sculpture and Ultra Pure White)

Accent 2: Chic Gray

Accent 3: Snowy Pine
