Green Mountain now lead certified

Green Mountain Professional Painting is now a certified lead inspection and removal company according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). If you have a home that was constructed before 1978, lead dust and lead-based paint pose a serious health risk to young children, pregnant women, and anyone who comes in contact with it. Across the nation lead poisoning often goes misdiagnosed as symptoms of ADD, ADHD, and various learning disabilities in young children (including reduced IQ). Pregnant women in a lead- based environment can transfer lead to their fetus. In adults, low levels of lead poisoning can lead to high blood pressure, hypertension, and a decrease in sexual performance.

Call Green Mountain Professional Painting today, and we will be happy to test your home for lead (802.917.1780). We are committed to providing the families of Vermont and New England with a safe and beautiful living environment.

Big Picture Restaurant

The Big Picture Theater and Restaurant recently closed down for three days to allow the Green Mountain Pro Paint team to come in and do what we do best. The ceiling and entrance was in need of newly taped sheet-rock seams and spot patching. A fresh coat of primer, two coats of ceiling color (Dove White), and two coats on the walls (Seam Foam Green) were applied and the crew finished on time. The restaurant now looks great and is ready for business.
Thanks Claudia!

The Inn at the Round Barn

The Round Barn, perhaps one of Vermont's most iconic establishments, was in need of a new paint job and GMP Painting was their choice. The front of the building had to be completely stripped down and repainted. With historical siding dating back to the 1800's each individual board had to be manicured so as not to destroy any wood while removing the old paint. Furthermore, the building is surrounded with gorgeous flower beds that GMP Painting carefully protected. We have already received new customers through Tim's referrals. Thanks Tim and AnneMarie!

Boston's South End

Philip and Eirc have an incredible apartment in Boston's South End that had seen some aging and was in need of a professional touch. Over the years the building had gradually shifted giving way to massive cracks in the plaster while the paint had aged significantly. (Video at the bottom of this posting walks you through project)
After extensive repair to the plaster, sheet rock, ceiling, and wainscot both the clients and I were very pleased with the end result; China White (semi-gloss) trim, Ceiling White (flat), and Khaki (flat) walls.

This combination of colors and architecture created a very modern and sophisticated feel to the apartment.
Thanks again Philip and Eric!

Here is a quick video of their apartment during the prep stages. Gives you a good idea of the amount of work that went into wall repair.

Lila and Family (takes 1 & 2)

The M. family was in need of some interior painting, which included their daughter Lila's bedroom. Lila was excited because she was able to select these great colors for her room. It's always fun to see the different color palettes that our clients choose and how reflective of their personalities they are. Thanks Rebecca and Anson!

Take 2: This past February GMP Painting returned to help Rebecca and Anson give the living room a whole new look. Apple Spice Red in Regal with an EggShell Finish that was complimented by a pale tan trim. As you can see the end result, accompanied by the green furniture, made for an elegant, rich, and warm look that was incredibly inviting.

Drew's Room Gets a Makeover

The family ended up heading to the Caribbean for a quick get away which gave the Green Mountain Paint Team a chance to get in and spice up Greg and Sheryl's oldest sons room. As you can see the previous color was in need of some help. The son wanted the room to feel larger so we went with Faded Denim walls and a Nova Scotia Blue accent wall (two shades darker than the Denim). Thanks Guys!

Sheryl and Greg

Sheryl and Greg have three wonderful children and a great home that was lacking a little contrast. Unfortunately for them prior to moving into the home every wall was painted Navo White, which is a very neutral color (almost dirty looking white) that doesn't age to well. The family wanted liven up the house and ad some character to the different rooms. We are currently in the process of transforming several rooms in the home, but I wanted to share some of the work that is being done.
Yellow with a hint of orange was our suggestion, because the hallway lacked a little natural light during the day and in the evenings was dim. The hint of orange would help compliment the wood work while adding some warmth in appearance. After painting five different sample yellows (with various amounts of orange in them) the family choose "Yellow Rain Coat" to be done in Ben Moores Natura Paint (a Latex NO VOC), perhaps one of the most family friendly paints currently on the market.

Sue

Sue has a very cozy country home that she was looking to give some new life.  The previous color had been a muted gray with gray trim.  After several meetings and testing a variety of color palettes we decided to go with a soft green (hints of grey), chaulk white, pink doors, and black window trim.  The black trim really helped to give Sue's home a very classy look - icing on the cake.  Sue says, "I'm very excited to come home every evening now to my beautiful home!"  Thanks Sue!

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!

Big Picture Theater

Big Picture Theater -- what a great place!  GMP Painting was brought in to give the kitchen and dining area a fresh coat along with stripping down and re-staining the tables.  In the spring GMP will be back to give the front of the restaurant a fresh coat. Thanks Eugene and Claudia!

Tucker

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!

Hickey

The good Dr. had a great get away house in Vermont built by none other than David Bardes.  The detail on the house was exceptional and it needed a paint job to match.  Thanks Jimmy!

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!

Choose Co. LLC

The creators of the "Choose Your Own Adventure" series of books brought us in to liven up the place and give each office it's own personality.  Thanks again Ray and Shannon!
