pergola "redux"
these photos display a pergola over time as it is gradually reset by the homeowner. we were responsible for painting the wood aspects as well as creating a custom color for the pavers that was more vibrant than the old washed out appearance they had shown previously. the pavers color work was done using surplus pieces in order to confirm the new color. at that point a larger amount was made on site and applied to the pavers themselves.

this set of photos display the results
available to those homeowners who have
older windows where the surrounding
metal frames have deteriorated over
the years and are in poor condition.
going over vintage oil enamel
we are posting this set of photos from a past project in order to display the difference in appearance between old oil based trim that has picked up a yellowish cast to it over time and new waterbased enamel.

stain matching
we were asked to create a similar appearance for new wood trim to that of existing stained wood for a pinellas county client. the age of the prior stain work is about forty-five years old and is very likely original to when the home was built. a 3 foot section was provided to obtain a reasonable match. also being done was a single new flat pocket door.
​
in the first two photos below, we've begun checking
various color samples and potential material types as we work on the stain match.
in the photo below the new door's surface is shown after a few color coats of tinted material have been sprayed on.
final finishing on site will involve sanding the door followed
by a satin varnish.
cypress run exterior
in these photos we see a chimney in poor condition go from setting up to start the work during the prep stages through to the final coat of paint. several issues were corrected along the way including filling holes left from a satellite dish that had been removed, treating some spot rust, caulking the wood trim and finally the stucco itself was refinished to eliminate what would have been a poor looking result after so much of the old coating has come off.
behr dynasty interior
several improvements have been made at this interior and will continue in the future. as part of that process the walls have all been repainted using behr's dynasty interior eggshell. new wall color is "creamy mushroom" ppu5-13.

dunedin interior
a first look at this master suite can be seen in this window view. the wooden blinds have already been removed in preparation for being painted. behr marquee in matte sheen will be used on the walls and their color will be a modified version of behr's sleek white (or-w15). the trim color will be untinted white.

finished photos from the master suite.
the wall color is a modified version of behr's sleek white (or-w15). the formula was altered in order to remove some of the slight yellow cast the original presented. all trim is untinted white done in gloss sheen. the walls were painted with behr marquee interior in matte sheen.
