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!

Mr & Mrs. Clayton

Vermont Professional Painting was able to help the Clayton family make their home look like new again. After roughly 20 years since the last paint job, the exterior of this home was in need of a very thorough top to bottom paint job and exterior repairs, which ultimately gave way to a beautiful end result.
The crew put incredible effort into this project, through the heat of summer. The project included replacing entire sections of wall, replacing clapboards, stripping and sanding the building, re-glazing all of the storm windows, priming and painting the building, stripping and staining all of the decks, painting the roof, and finally washing all of the windows. All and all, the Vermont Professional Painting employees were very happy with the result, and, most importantly, our customers were thrilled!
The siding is painted with California "Nu-white" and the trim is "Ever-green." The roof is coated with Ben Moore Ironclad "Grey," and the decks have a combination of clear natural stain on the front and oak stain on the rear.

Jenny's New Look - Boston

Jenny's Boston apartment recently had new green insulation blown in the walls, which left the place toasty warm, but in need of some work. The previous color had been a pale bright yellow (semi-gloss) that quite honestly had a little bit of dull feel, due to the colors lack of pigment.

After patching the wall holes, left from blowing insulation, and a fresh coat of primer we had a new canvas to work with. We were all very excited with the final color choice, "Winter Medows" from the California Paint Company's historic line. This particular color was done in a ceramic matte finish that was bursting with pigment and subtle character.
