The story

Three questions, answered.

Three questions, answered.

1

What did the house need?

What did the house need?

Twenty years of sun had chalked the siding and the shutters were peeling back to bare wood. The owners wanted a brighter house that still felt like theirs.

2

How did we tackle it?

How did we tackle it?

We washed, scraped and sanded every board, replaced two rotten trim pieces and primed bare wood. Then two coats of satin on the siding and a deep plum on the shutters and door.

3

How has it held up?

How has it held up?

It came through a full Portland winter without a single flake, and it’s backed by our 3-year workmanship warranty.

“They found rot we didn’t know about, fixed it properly and still finished a day early. The house looks brand new.”
