🏡✨ Giving new life to a home built in 1850! 🎨🪵
This exterior repaint needed much more than just a fresh coat of paint. 👀
The wood log-cabin siding had originally been painted directly over bare wood without primer (only 6 years ago!), which led to widespread peeling, chipping, and paint failure. 🪵⚠️ We scraped and sanded the failing areas, then primed the exposed wood with Richard’s Holzout Primer before repainting. 🧰🪜🎨
One of the brick walls also had mismatched paint from previous patches, along with areas of chipping and flaking. 🧱 We scraped, sanded, and spot-primed the damaged areas with Holzout, then repainted the entire wall to match the adjacent brick on the front of the home. The result was a much cleaner, more seamless transition. ✨🏠
The covered patio ceiling had similar paint failure because the bare wood had never been properly primed. 🌤️ After scraping and sanding away the loose paint, we applied an oil-based primer before repainting the ceiling. 🪵🖌️
Proper surface preparation and the right primer make all the difference—especially when protecting a historic home that has stood for more than 175 years! 💪🏡🎨✨
