New Home-Owners Nick & Michelle Mahood of Murrieta, Ca. Had recently purchased a new home for their family and wanted the entire interior to receive a fresh coat of paint; as well as some custom colors. All work was to be completed prior to them moving into the house. The house was a two-story, 4-bedroom; 3-bath, tract home. All interior walls were a standard white throughout, and we're changed to a tannish / beige color from Behr @ Home Depot called "Baja." The upper-mantle of the fireplace in the living room was painted a dark brown, "Chocolate Swirl," and their daughter's room was painted x2 shades of purple. Lower half of room was lighter than the top, as "Lavish Lavender," while the upper half of the room went a dark "Black Tulip." We also re-painted all the baseboard on the first floor, x4 doors, and all the window sills. The only issues we had during this project were in the planning / scheduling. A few things occured that impacted production time and we ended up having to work & finish the project while the customer began moving in. Aside from some cluttered working conditions, this project went smoothly and was completed in roughly four days.

Keith & Janine Indorf had just purchased a house for their family in the city of Lake Elsinore, Ca. It was a two-story, five bedroom; three bath, tract home w/ a three-car garage. Our agreement dictated that nearly the entire interior of the house was to receive new paint. Everything except the kitchen, that was found to contain heavy mold / molding which needed to be properly abated, and removed by a specialist. All the ceilings & closets received paint as well, along with the walls & baseboard. The existing color on the walls was the typical white, or off-white of some sort - there was a significant amount of surface repair & substrate preparation for this project. The only issue encountered on this job was on the first floor, family room ceiling. It was obvious this ceiling had popcorn texturing, and at some point it had been removed, poorly. There was also an area of ceiling / wall that had suffered water damage at some point, from a fairly decent sized leak that, once the pipe was fixed, the drywall had been repaired very poorly. I repaired and corrected these issues with no extra cost to the customer. All materials were provided by Dunn-Edwards Paints, and financed / procured separately, by the homeowner. B2Q C&F invoiced 'Labor' costs only for this project.

Robert & Nicole Garvito purchased a house in Murrieta, Ca. Before moving in, they made it of the utmost priority, to have the interior of their new home painted to their liking. I did a brief walk-through, and color / product consultation with them one afternoon in early July. Once the products, and colors, were finalized, I spent the remainder of that evening purchasing materials; to get started on their project the following day. The house was a two-story, four-bedroom; three-bath, tract home. We had agreed that nearly the entire interior of the house was going to receive new paint; with the only exceptions being the master bedroom / bathroom, the second-floor bathroom, and the garage. This job was strictly walls only, no baseboard, no ceilings, closets, etc. The living room and kitchen went a light yellow, while the remainder of the house was to be a brownish-gray color; with the exception of the two reflecting accent walls on the second floor clerestory windows & hallway - both of which were painted a light blue. The only challenging aspect of this job in particular was its vaulted ceilings. Not that I hadn't done many a vaulted ceiling before in the past, but this one was uniquely difficult in that a large amount of vaulted wall existing in areas not safely accessible with any ladder, or extension ladder. In the end, those areas wound up having to be cut-in from a distance with an extension pole and brush-attachment. Exercising extreme caution and precision as to not hit the unpainted ceiling made this part of the project particularly unnerving & tedious. Some materials were provided by Sherwin-Williams Paints & some through Dunn-Edwards Paints, and were procured by the customer at their expense. B2Q C&F billed for 'Labor' only on this project. The project was complete in just under two weeks calendar time, with roughly 46 hours of actual work-time.
