New Hazmat Masks in Action

Company men, Ian and Pete, enjoying the new hazmat masks performing lead remediation at the Warren United Church - another one of our great historical restoration projects that Vermont Pro is tackling this summer in Warren.

Historical Restoration Underway.

The Vermont Pro construction and paint crews are underway restoring the Brauer's beautiful colonial farm house in Warren, Vermont.  This intensive project requires lead paint remediation, siding and trim replacement (of both classic and decorative trim), insulating and flashing windows for an airtight and watertight seal, and more. Once Vermont Pro has completed the project, we will be sure to showcase the end result on our blog, and we look forward to turning over an amazing product to the Brauer's to enjoy for years to come.

California launches $1 Billion LEAD Lawsuit against Sherwin Williams, etc.

California is setting a legal precedent for the rest of the country to follow as they pursue legal action against the Sherwin Williams company, and others, for knowingly distributing and promoting a dangerous product in lead paint across the nation since the 1900's.  This is an issue that will continue to be at the forefront of both painting and construction based projects in the state of Vermont as pre-1978 homes deteriorate and are in need of work.  As a home owner or parent, it is imporant to take the time to familiarize yourself with the issue at hand in order to protect your loved ones and future generations; to read more here is the article from the Huffington Post.

Allen Home - Underway

The paint crew is underway prepping the Allen's home in Moretown.  Their classic Vermont home is undergoing lead remediation, while the garage and barn are being freshened up with replacement of rotted boards and painting.

Edgcomb Design

Edgcomb design in Warren received a full lead prep and paint.  With the color palette of this project we wanted to go with more of a natural and muted look in order to blend in with the surroundings.

Thanks Jim and Lexi!

Historical Restoration of the Waitsfield Inn

 The Vermont Pro team is proud to unveil the recently completed Waitsfield Inn.  The entire team worked around the clock for months to restore this historic gem to its original beauty with a new historic color palette.  The siding was done in the following historic colors all inspired by California's historic color line (siding - historic white, trim - seal blue, and doors - claret red).

A special thank you to John and Vickie Walluck, the owners of the Inn, who my entire crew grew to Love.  They were incredible to work with!  Each and every day John and Vickie would make fresh ice tea during the day and have coffee in the morning for the crew, to say the least my guys are already missing the Inn.

Flemer House Underway

Last year Ben contacted us in need of help whit his home that has been in the family for many years.  This historic home, which sits in the hear of downtown Waitsfield, is certainly a staple of the community and we are proud to be underway restoring it back to it's original beauty.

In the above image Stefan Vergura is preparing a section of the exterior for lead paint removal.  It is estimated that 80%, or more, of homes in New England, historic and non-historic, are covered in lead paint and many of them are simply in need of a little love and attention to detail.
