OUR APPROACH
Most paint jobs don't fail because of the paint.
They fail because of what was underneath it. Philadelphia plaster cracks, masonry needs to breathe, and old trim will not hold a finish without the right primer.
We slow down on the part nobody photographs.
View our servicesSURFACE PREPARATION
We take walls back to square one.
Wall scraping is in our name for a reason. We strip the paper, repair what is behind it, and skim the wall flat before a drop of finish goes on.
- Wallpaper removal and installation
- Popcorn ceiling removal
- Plaster and drywall repair
- Skim coating
