Maclay Architects

As the 2011 exterior painting season came to a close, Vermont Pro was able finish this monster of a lead paint remediation project. Maclay Architects, located along Route 100 in Waitsfield, was a two year project that saw an intensive amount of lead removal. The building itself was about 20 years overdue for a paint job and a good amount of siding had to be replaced, as seen in the above image.  But with the great effort and attention to detail put forth by the Vermont Pro paint crew, this historic building once again shines.  Thanks Bill and Alex! 

The siding color is Philadelphia Cream (Ben Moore MoorGlo flat), trim was Chalk White (Ben Moore MoorGlo) and the door is Evergreen (Ben Moore Soft Gloss).  If you want to see more lead prep in action, please refer to last year's posts!

Robin and Marty

Robin and Marty have a gorgeous home that received an extensive paint job and floor styling/staining to match. Interior walls are mainly comprised of Farrow n Ball (oil, high gloss, and satin finish) while furniture antiquing was a combination of various Ben Moore Oils (lots of sanding, scratching, and buffing for a distressed look). But most intriguing, from a paint and environmental standpoint, was the barn. The barn was painted in an imported Swedish Organic paint that came in three parts (pigment powder, oil, and soap) which all had to be measured out and mixed properly. Thanks again Marty and Robin!

ICS

A Chritmas recap of the Irasville Country Store.  GMP Painting was brought in to paint this great family-owned business from top to bottom (including the roof).  The Kamanski family was interested in carrying on the tradition of barn red with brilliant white trim, but to add a twist, with our suggestion, they chose El Cajon Clay (Ben Moore, Moore Glow), which is a nice deep red with a shot of purple, and Chaulk White (BM) with a couple shots of black.  Why these colors?  Both colors do a great job of masking dust/dirt caught on the building while still mainting lasting vibrant color.  Similar colors without the dark shots of pigment look great once they have been applied but often age quickly (e.g., look dirtier over time).  Thanks again Kamanski family and we hope the new family members are doing well!

The Tucker family wanted to spice up their bathrooms.  Thanks guys!

Jeff

Jeff under took a massive renovation to produce a great Vermont ski house.  Unfortunately I did not take any pictures of the original house, which would have been great to show the dramatic transformation capped off with a nice GMP paint job.  Thanks Jeff!

Ed and Judy

Ed and Judy were in need of some new siding, as the winter melt over the years was rotting the wood, and a fresh paint job to revitalize their beautiful home.  The new siding was properly primed and ice 'n water shield was applied to seal up the house in high moisture areas.  Thanks Ed and Judy!
