Anne Marie and Tim's Beautiful Home

Yesterday I received a comment from one of my favorite clients, Anne Marie Defreest, that truly made my day. Anne Marie said, "Francis you are not a painter, you're an artist. You take a room and turn it into a work of art." - Thanks, Anne Marie.

I consider myself very lucky to have an amazing clientele. In addition, I am very fortunate to have found a crew of guys that embrace the mission of providing our clients with the very best in product and service.

These are a few images from Tim and Anne Marie's interior makeover.  In the top image, Chris and Dylan are going through the kitchen cutting every crack out of the ceiling and repairing sheet rock and trim.  This extensive makeover included the foyer, sunroom, kitchen, master bed, bathroom and walk-in closet, as well as both the daughter's and son's bed and bathrooms.

Water damage to the master bedroom required us to cut out a large section of the ceiling and walls, dry everything, install new insulation, along with new sheet-rocking. While we were at it, we changed the room palette from yellow to Paladean Blue.  Once we were done, new carpet capped the room off.

 Thanks Anne Marie and Tim!

The Waitsfield Inn

Vermont Pro Painting is proud to present some images from "Phase I" of the Waitsfield Inn transformation. The Waitsfield Inn is truly one of Waitsfield Village's most historic landmarks.  Inn owners John and Vickie Walluck (some of the nicest people you will ever come across) came to us in need of an exterior overhaul to make their business stand out.  Prior to the Vermont Pro makeover getting underway, the building had been painted stark white, top to bottom.  In doing some research, we found a vintage picture of the Inn from what looked to be the 1930's, which depicted a brilliantly white building contrasted with dark trim (it was a black and white photo, of course).

After getting to know the Walluck family and the great things they are doing with the business, I suggested using California Paint's historic color line.  After showing the Wallucks some color samples and mulling over the choices together, we decided to go with Historic White, Nantucket Blue trim and accents, and Claret Red on the doors. I strongly felt that these colors reflected the Walluck family's warm and inviting nature, while also complimenting the historic beauty of the Inn.

The project from start to finish will include painting the entire Inn, replacing several large and small decks, installing 17 new high efficiency windows, and blowing out a back wall of the Inn to install a larger window and new insulation in one of the rooms.

Below are some of the prep pictures to better illustrate the intensive transformation process.

Thanks John and Vickie!
