Interior Painting
Specializing in residential and light commercial jobs for small business owners. Whether one room or an entire home I am able to work with you to get the job done with as little impact on your schedule as possible.

Wallpaper Removal
One of the best ways to transform your home is to remove that wallpaper that has been up since Carter was president.  It is a job that most people dread and therefore continue to put off.  However, I have the experience, tools, and means to update  your interior by getting rid of that outdated look.  The thought of damaging walls often holds people back from even attempting this job.

Drywall Repair
Drywall has made homebuilding a much quicker and cost effective venture but it is not as durable as good old plaster.  Often connected with wallpaper removal, I am able to repair your walls and make them ready for paint.  Many homes often have cracks in the drywall board which can be repaired by taping and mudding just like when it was newly installed.  Rooms with cathedral ceilings often have these near the peak of the room.

Doors and Trim
Doors and trim are often overlooked in many homes.  Over the years they take a lot of abuse.  Although painting trim is time consuming, merely painting the walls often fails to give a room a new look.  Taking the time to fill nail holes, properly prime and sand, and caulking the crack between the trim and the wall can make painted trim look even better that stained wood.  Looking in the home magazines can let you see that painted  trim is very popular.

Exterior Painting
Michigan weather is very hard on the outside of your home.  Temperature changes, sun, rain, and snow all take their toll on you siding, eaves, doors, windows and roof.  Proper preparation of surfaces is what ensures a quality job. 

Aluminum Siding
Many homes have aluminum siding that is fading and chalky.  This is the normal result of years of weathering.  Your siding can be restored to like new condition with the proper steps taken.  Many people worry about the ability of aluminum to hold paint but in over 20 years of painting aluminum siding I have yet to have peeling or cracking.  I have painted well over 80 homes with aluminum siding and have only had 2 customers want their house repainted.  One wanted a color change after 12 years and the other was selling and wanted a perfectly clean appearance to get the best price for their home.  Like any siding painted aluminum will get dirty and requires occasional attention.

Barns and Roofs
Many people are owners of a piece of history with the old barn on their property.  A coat of good old barn-red can give your property a nostalgic look and extend the life of your barn.  In addition, metal roofs require attention that many homeowners put off.  They figure out of sight out of mind, but are failing to extend their roof with a job that is very affordable when compared to re-roofing.  Aluminum based paints help a building stay cooler and protects the metal that is susceptible to deteriorating over time.

Decks
Your deck provides you with a place to relax with family and friends.  However, it is subject to a great deal of exposure to the elements.  It's greatest enemy is often thought to be rain or snow.  However, the sun is the hardest thing on your deck.  With the proper preparation and deck stain your deck can last and look good at the same time.

Power washing
Power washing has the ability to make a house be transformed in a day.  That north side of the house where the sun doesn't shine is a perfect place for mold, mildew and moss to thrive.  Sidewalks, decks, eaves, and garage floors benefit from an occasional cleaning.  Powerwashing is also the best way to prepare for most exterior painting projects.  However, beware of an overzealous operator who can severely damage your deck or other wood surfaces.
Remodeling
I am also available for small remodeling projects and have other self-employed men that I call on to help me meet almost all your needs.  Removing walls, new cabinets, doors and trim, drywall, as well as roofing,siding, and concrete are among the other jobs we have completed for many people.
