Maclay Architects

Vermont Professional Painting is very excited to team up with Maclay Architects who are leading the way in the push for "Net Zero" housing and design in Vermont. Maclay Architects works with old Vermont homes to create a Net Zero building by installing highly efficient solar energy, along with other energy-efficient design elements. These houses can actually give excess energy back to the grid!

The project, above, included installation of large solar panels, new 12 inch deep walls with blown insulation, new window casings, and a lead-safe siding replacement and paint job provided by Vermont Professional Painting. Maclay demonstrates that it is quite possible to transform highly inefficient Vermont housing into family safe and sustainable living. The siding was done in Ben Moore Philadelphia Cream and the trim in Brilliant white.

Harwood Union High School

Harwood Union High School had Vermont Professional Painting revive one of their extra-curricular learning buildings (HCLC). The project entailed replacing rotted clapboards and sills, extensive grinding and sanding, caulking and priming with a mixture of Ben Moore "Fresh Start" and Mad Dog, and finally two coats of siding and trim paint. All and all, a very successful transformation that we were proud to leave for the students and teachers to enjoy.
