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.

Hasta La Vista Navho White!

Mark & Alice headed to Iceland for a week, giving the Vermont Pro Paint team the keys to their house and the go-ahead to rid their house of its old and beat-up Navaho White interior - personally my favorite shade of dirty white (Note: the hint of dramatic sarcasm). Unfortunately, a small earthquake a few years ago had cracked some of the sheet rock, but after some fresh tape, mud, and patching, the rooms were looking like new again and ready for paint. After returning home, Alice was so excited with our work that she instantly wanted to know how soon we could paint the exterior of the house. Thanks again guys and we look forward to painting the exterior soon!
