Phil and Sonia grew very tired of that annoying crack and several unsightly nail pops in their posh master bath. The master bedroom had way too many dents, scratches and smudges. solution? Call Master;'s Touch Painting to do it right and fast. After plastic and drop cloths to shield all the walls, I totally cutting out the failed ceiling drywall tape, I applied new screws, stapled in new mesh tape and applied heavy duty joint setting compound. After a thorough dry time, three coats of a flexible vinyl spackle were applied, then two coats of sand swirl paint were matched and blended in to mimic the original. Then three top coats, plus painting the whole ceiling to blend in.

Steve had done his own drywall and wanted to do a texture to match his 20 year old basement wall, a knock-down texture. No problem! Six hours later it was done. Here's how: after repairs and final sanding, then three coats of texture were applied and fast dried by multiple fans, two top coats of his satin paint were applied, then a third coat was applied corner to corner to cover it all in seamlessly. Steve can now chill in his basement media room, with a flawless wall!

Ten years of hard wear on tear on the dear house. It was due for a face-lift. The dingy stairwell was the first of several items, including all the exterior trim and that front door... The stairwell was assaulted with max repairs and intense effort top get Sheri the results promised. 100 + little and bid repairs. "Screw pops" fixed plus new screws adjacent, ghastly gouges, nasty cracks, embarrassing dents and careless scratches- all a forgotten memory now. Shari is loving her easy wash hard enamel paint, applied with speed and care for that fresh new look. Why oh why, did ya' wait so long...?

Barbara had a dilemma- who to fix that disgusting ceiling stain. embarrassing, ugly- but who could she trust? After cutting our the old failed drywall tape, attaching new tape and patching carefully, the final texture matching was done. Stinky oil-based stain primer was liberally applied, then a first coat of ceiling paint, then a top coat. The stain, my project mess is long gone, but she has a spectacular match of the texture- and no one looks in horror at her ceiling any more....

Cheryl's stairwell- too many smudges, scratches, dents and nicks. Oh there was the old huge botched repair effort at the ceiling wall joint. Nice try, but... After all the set up of plastic, double-thick drop cloths, then the repairs began. Numerous 1" nails to secure that disgusting popped metal cornerbead, followed by four coats of fast-drying spackle, primer... Anyway, by the end of the day, after about 100 separate repairs, including 20 "nail pops", Cheryl had an awesome new stylin' stairwell. Two coats of washable satin paint shined welcomingly as she took the first climb up to her landing area. "looks sharp, great job!"

Dull, lifeless shutters were embarrassing for these homeowners. Nice homes let down by shabby faded shutters- yuck! No more, they shine better than ever with two coats of top quality exterior semi gloss enamel. Now, its their neighbors who have the dull shutters. But hey, their car shines....

Unsightly crack loomed overhead, homeowner could not fix. Embarrassed when company came, they called me to fix. No problem- "just do it right" I said. They wanted to match the 12 year old ceiling paint with a local are touch up. Bummer. After 1 1/2 hours of tinting with various blends of beiges, and off -whites, the match was done. Repair was thorough as I could do- cut out the old failed drywall tape, scrape to bare surface, new screws, new tape, four coats of joint setting compound dried urgently with hairdryers, then the sand swirl match, goes 1 & 2, then the pre-paint, then the final over coat. A busy day... after a set up with plastic on all the walls at 7:00 AM, then double thick drop cloths. by dinner time it was done. Husband Rich was ecstatic- somebody else did it , not him.... Budget project, but done hard core right.

The absolute worst door ever, I gave it that sad award! The trim was peeling so basd UI had to heat gun it to strip to completely bare wood, while shielding the adjacent vinyl siding from melting. Afte rit was stripped, scrapped, sanded, thencaulked, then two coats of primer, more caulk, then dried by muiltiple fans, two coats of top grade exterior satin paint were applied. Now they don't cringle when they go out the basement door to their romantic hot tub! i also did shutters, the front door and din "fans" aabove the windows. All of those were coverd in disgusting mildew, and had 3/8" gaps where they joined the brick. The garage door was done over, looks awesome still, five years later.
