Fishers deck

We completed another deck today. It was an older deck that had not been stained for several years. We took the pressure washer after it and it already looked better. We cleaned it with a deck cleaner and followed up with a deck wash. We sprayed out the skirting, spindles, railing, and benches.  The customer selected a Sherwin Williams Deckscape in a solid "Pine Cone" color (water based.) The deck looked very good when we were done.





Another Fishers' Deck

We completed another large deck on Friday. It was a deck that was built last fall and had not had any protection applied. We pressure washed it, cleaned it with some deck wash and applied Sherwin Williams Deckscape semi-transparent stain in a Covered Bridge color. It looked good.

Fishers interior rooms

Ryan and I finished another interior painting project on Wednesday. It included walls and trim in a great room, entryway, kitchen, and bathroom. The walls were orange peel texture and needed some repair. We used Sherwin Williams Promar 200 with no VOC on the walls (2 coats in eg-shell) and Sherwin Williams ProClassic Door and Trim latex in a semi-gloss.  Customer was pleased with the look.

Carmel Interior Rooms

Ryan and I finished another job today. We painted an office, deck room, great room, hallway, and master bedroom. It took us 4 days. We applied Sherwin Williams Promar 200, no VOC, in an eg-shell finish. We had a couple challenges, but overall the rooms looked great once completed.

Google Maps & Places

My business disappeared for five days from Google Maps & Places.  I submitted a "help" ticket to correct the number of reviews on file and the next thing Tim's Quality Painting was missing in action. After 5 days, Google was able to resolve the issue.  About 65% of my business is generated from Google Maps & Places.  I am happy this morning.

Deck, Pergola, and fence

Ryan & I just finished up a small exterior painting project that included a deck, pergola, and privacy fence. We used Sherwin Williams Deckscape stain. We used more stain than estimated because of the porous wood. Always estimate more than you think with older decks. Plan on getting less than 200 square feet per gallon. We had a few challenges - mainly the wind and the pergola and lathes on top.  There was no good way to stain them so we ended up brushing instead of spraying, which took more time.

Interior Painting Project in Fishers

Ryan & I completed another 3 day interior painting project in Fishers.  We put two coats of Sherwin Williams ProMar 200 eg-shell finish on the walls and one coat of Sherwin Williams ProClassic Door and Trim paint on the trim.  Some of the walls were in bad shape so we had some challenges hiding the flaws.
