Stucco repair I did last week in Cocoa,FL on an exterior repaint

Here’s a couple before and after photos of a stucco repair I did last week in Cocoa, Fl on an exterior repaint I was doing.

Water had got behind that decorative stucco piece and rusted out the wire lathe.
Which ultimately caused the stucco to fail in that area.

We cut out the damaged stucco and installed new lathe

Skimmed and textured the stucco repair to match the exsisting texture

We spot primed the newly stuccoed repair with a high alkyd primer

Next we primed and painted the entire exterior of this Cocoa home with two coats of Richards Exterior Paint.

Springtime to Paint!

Spring fever is a term applied to several sets of physical and psychological symptoms associated with the arrival of spring. In general it refers to an increase in energy and vitality.

Spring is in the air

Spring is the perfect time of the year to paint the exterior of your Florida home

Spring and “springtime” refer to the season, and also to ideas of rebirth, rejuvenation, renewal, resurrection, and regrowth.

Banana 001

Spring = Rejuvenation

Shouldn’t your home’s exterior be at the top of your list when thinking about Springtime and your rejuvenated motivation to get things in order around the house that you’ve been putting off for a while. Important things. Like probably one of your biggest investments, Your Home…

Once the clock’s are changed to Spring forward, you know that Spring is soon to follow.

Springtime Fresh

Springtime Fresh – New exterior paint job

Spring is the perfect time of the year to paint your home

Especially if you have any cracked or damaged stucco, faded paint, iron stains from your water sprinklers, or it might just be time for a fresh new vibe that will not only look great. But, it will also help protect the interior of your home from insects, water damage, mold and other moisture related issues for years to come. If you’re not sure about the color combinations you would like to have on your home. We can certainly help you with picking out the colors and advise you on the latest color trends here in Central Florida. Summer is right around the corner which means family get togethers , cookouts and sleepovers.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have your home looking great, so you could entertain guests and family and be proud of your home again?

Summer is right around the corner and so is Hurricane season

It’s amazing what a little paint can do. Not only does it rejuvenate your homes appearance. Additionally, a properly done paint job whether it’s done by you the homeowner or by a professional painter it will protect your home from the water damage caused from wind driven rain like we had during hurricane season just a few years back. A lot of the water damage caused during these wind events could have been prevented in hundreds of homes here in Brevard county, Fl by simply repairing all of the hairline stucco cracks on the walls of these homes and re caulking all of the exterior windows.

With all of the right preparation and applying the proper sealers and paints to their stucco walls on block and wood frame homes, it most definitely would have prevented the amount of water intrusion damage and insurance claims from the wind driven rain scenario.

In conclusion:

Spring provides the extra boost of energy that helps us motivate to get things in our lives in order for the rest of the year. This also means taking care of things you care about. The home is where a lot of people like to catch up on all of the little things that can protect it and make it look nice and cared for. Yardwork and exterior painting are some of the most popular springtime activities when it comes to improving and protecting your home.

So get out there and paint the exterior of your home! Or hire a professional house painter to get the job done properly. Leaving you with more time to focus on your family and other springtime home improvement projects.

How to paint a garage door

Your garage door is a HUGE part of the overall appearance of your home.

Has your homes garage door lost it’s luster?

Garage Door Painting-Before and After-Viera FL

Is my garage door paintable?

It’s a common question among homeowners that have a weathered, rusted, chalky, faded or dusty garage door that’s in need of a facelift or even just a color change that can give your home a different vibe and better curb appeal .
Whether you’re thinking about just repainting it or looking to paint the entire exterior of your home. I would recommend hiring a professional painting contractor.
But painting a garage door is doable for the advanced DIY’er.

I give this project a difficulty rating of 7 out of 10.

You can get by with just using a brush and roller to paint most garage doors. But with these you will be left with some sort of stippling (a light texture or brush strokes). That’s why I prefer to use an airless sprayer to apply the primers and paint. It it will leave your garage door with a beautiful factory finish like it had when it was brand new.

I’ve painted hundreds of garage doors here in the Brevard County, Fl area. Which means I have been perfecting the most efficient techniques and the tried and true best primers that ensure proper adhesion and the right exterior paints to use on metal and wood garage doors for over 20 years.

Here’s some of the basic bullet points for properly painting your garage door.

Materials and tools needed to prep, prime and paint your garage door:
  • Masking paper- 12″ to 16″
  • 3M paper machine (optional)
  • Masking tape 1.5″ and 3/4″ for paper machine
  • .31 mil light plastic (optional)
  • 5 in 1 tool or putty knife
  • Drop cloths
  • Rags
  • Paintable caulk
  • 1.5 gallons Acrylic Latex Multi surface sealer/primer
  • 2 gallons of a high quality (satin or semi gloss) Acrylic Latex exterior paint
  • Roller frame with a 3/8″ nap and at least a 3′ paint pole
  • 1 Purdy or Wooster 4″ to 6″ brush
  • Or if you can get your hands on a paint sprayer? I use a Graco 695 paint sprayer .311 Spray tip for paint gun

Steps for applying primer/sealer and paint

Step 1) Pressure wash all of the exterior surfaces of the garage door to be painted.

*Tip-Trick- You’re going need to use a good environmentally friendly cleaner or detergent like Simple Green or a similar product. But bleach and water will do as well.

Step 2) Prep the surface and area around the garage door to be painted. Cover anything you don’t want painted.

*Tip-Trick- Raise the garage door halfway up and put masking tape on the bottom rubber seal of the door, Next place drop cloths half in and half out of where the garage door sits on the ground when in the closed position.

Step 3) After the garage door is completely dry, check it for any rusted areas.

Tip-Trick- If you have some rust, take 80 grit sandpaper and sand down any rust spots and and after sanding the surface wipe with a damp cloth.
Purchase a can of rust inhibitor which primes the area and actually turns rust back into metal.

Step 4) I prefer to use my airless paint sprayer to prime the garage door with a – Multi Surface tinted Primer/Sealer (a brush or roller will work as well).

Tip-Trick- After priming and after each coat of paint take your 5 in one tool or putty knife and carefully slide it under one of the three rubber seals on both sides and at the top of the garage door and go around the perimeter of the garage door keeping the tool under the rubber seals. This keeps paint from building up and bonding the three rubber seals to the garage door.

Step 5) After the primer dries, I will then caulk any wood trim joints that are cracking or opened up around the garage door before painting the first coat

Tip-Trick- Try and keep the hole small when cutting the tub of caulk And cut it at a slight angle.
Have a wet sponge or rag handy while caulking to keep your finger clean.

Step 6) Lastly, I spray two coats of a high quality (satin or semi gloss) exterior paint for a long lasting and durable finish.

Tips-Tricks- Spray the first coat going horizontally (side to side) and apply the second coat of paint vertically (up and down). This keeps the the paint from building up in the same areas and also makes for better adhesion of the garage door paint.

Check this out:
I just finished up an exterior house repaint where we also painted the metal garage door because the paint was chalky and chipping. Most homes exteriors have been painted a few times over the years. But a lot of times the garage door is left out of the painting process. I’m sure you know the ones in your neighborhood…

Here some photo’s and video clips of the garage door painting process:

Here’s a video of the primer/sealer being applied with an airless:
In this video clip you will see my technique on using a paint sprayer to to seal/prime a garage door, vinyl soffits, gutters and stucco. First thing is clean all surfaces to be painted (I used a pressure washer on this project) Next you’ll need to cover everything that you don’t want to get painted with either drop clothes, lightweight plastic or masking paper and tape.

In conclusion. If your garage door happens to sit at the front of your home, then painting it should be at the top of your honey-do list. As you can see that are a lot of steps that go into a painting project like this. I would recommend getting a local professional painting contractor in your area who knows the best paint products suited for your climate. But, if you’re an advanced DIY’er or handyman and you’re up for a challenge. Then have fun with it and Happy Painting!

Chalky and Faded Paint? Exterior House Painting Project in Melbourne, Fl

Getting the exterior of your home re-painted does more than just enhance your Melbourne FL home’s curb appeal.

It helps protect probably one of your most important investments “Your Home” from the harsh Florida climate. It all starts with the prep and carries throughout your entire exterior painting process. It can protect your biggest investment for years to come.

The good news is that You have found the perfect Melbourne FL painter to make your home look like new again for a fair price.

This House Painting Project Blog post is about an exterior repaint on a home and pool deck in the Coral Springs subdivision in the Suntree area of Melbourne FL.
We were contracted to seal and repaint all of the exterior surfaces of the home due to the fading and chalking of the paint from years of this Melbourne FL home being in the sun and elements of the harsh Florida climate.

The very first thing we did to start this exterior painting project was to dig out 4″ to 6″ around the perimeter.

Then we pressure washed all of the surfaces to be painted including the pool deck of this Melbourne FL home.

The next step is a very important one. Cover and protect plants, sidewalks, windows walkways, pavers and exterior lighting fixtures.

Then we applied a tinted multi-surface conditioner (due to chalkiness and also to assure good adhesion of the finish coat) to all of the surfaces of the home to be painted.

We then repaired all of the staircase stucco cracks and recaulked all of the windows a trim.

Next we applied two colors and two coats of Sherwin Williams A-100® exterior latex 100% acrylic satin house and trim paint to the stucco walls, stucco bands, columns, soffits, fascia, gutters, all exterior doors and wood trim. We also spray painted the garage doors for a new factory finish look.

After all of the house painting was completed it was time start the pool deck repairs and lanai and pool deck painting.

We first started by repairing all of the settling cracks on the pool deck.

Next we applied two coats of Richards- Deck Guard 100% acrylic pool, patio and deck coating to the lanai and pool deck.

Once all of the painting was completed we backfilled around the perimeter the home and did one last walk through with homeowners to make sure they were completely satisfied.

Water damage drywall repair and orange peel texture match

This water damage drywall repair and texture matching project is in the Cloisters subdivision of Indialantic, Fl.

We were contacted by a past customer to do a drywall repair on the already cut out and dried out the water damaged walls in two of the guest bedrooms of their home. Water had got the drywall wet on the one exterior wall in each of the two guest bedrooms of this four bedroom home here in Brevard County.

Once we arrived the drywall had already been cutout up to the window sill around 20″ in one bedroom and at 16″ on the other bedrooms wall. The base board and carpet had been removed by the water restoration company when the plumbing leak had first occurred.

So, all we had to do to get this drywall repair party started, was to prep the floors and cover personal items with plastic. Next, I used the paper masking machine to cover the window sills and bi-fold doors ect… so that nothing would get on them while doing the drywall repair and re texturing of the affected water damaged areas.

  • After resecuring the drywall (with screws) where it had been cutout
  • We installed 1/2″ drywall at all of the cutout areas
  • Applied self adhesive fiberglass mesh tape at all drywall repair seams
  • Next,I applied three coats of 20 minute compound for maximum joint strength
  • Sprayed orange peel texture to match existing texture
  • Lasty, I primed and painted the wall repairs using a 3/4″ roller nap on my roller
Water damage from a plumbing leak

Noitice that the drywall was kept up off of the concrete floor by at 1/2″ kept the drywall from getting wet at all on this wall.

Because of a slight slant of the foundation the water from the leak went straight over to the east wall of the bedrooms and the water wicked up into the bottom section of the drywall. Luckily the leak was caught in time so that only a minimum part of one wall was all that needed to be removed.

    Roof leak caused major water damage to this ceiling in Suntree, Fl

    With all of the rain we’ve been getting here in Brevard County this Summer, it’s no doubt that there are many homes that have had a roof leak. Which leads to potential water damage on ceilings and walls. What’s worse is if the roof leak continues, all of the moisture can lead to wood rot and is the perfect food source termites in any wood framing, furring strips, roof trusses and roof decking.

    Even if you have a block home, wood is most likely part of your roofing system and possibly in your wall framing in order to be able to attach the drywall to a block wall when your home was built.

    Roof Leak?

    The best piece of advice I can give you is when looking for a contractor to repair your roof, ceiling or drywall be sure to hire a licensed contractor to get the best results!

    Damage assessment

    Damage assessment of ceiling due to roof leak

    This blog post is about a water damaged pool patio ceiling caused by a roof leak in the suntree area of Melbourne, Florida.

    The ceiling had been repaired previously and by the looks of it, the roof continued to leak until the flat tile roof was completely redone recently by a licensed local roofing contractor.

    Once I dug into this exterior ceiling it was apparent that the water damage was more extensive than it looked when the drywall ceiling was in place. I removed most of the ceiling and along with the drywall coming down, so did the blown in insulation…

    Not only was a large section drywall ceiling in need of replacement. The furrings strips that hold the ceiling up had termite damage and rusted screws from all of the moisture from the roof leak.

    After speaking with the homeowner about what plan of action it was going to take to get the extra framing replaced and resecured.

    Once getting the ok to proceed with the extra work:

    I removed all of the damaged furring strips and replaced them with new and installed 5/8″ exterior gypsum drywall soffit board with my handy dandy drywall lift with a 16′ extension.

    Next, I finished the new drywall seams with fiberglass mesh tape, two coats of 45 minute setting type compound and skim coated the entire ceiling with USG All Purpose joint compound.

    The next day I came back and retextured the entire ceiling with a skip trowel texture that needed to match the other four patios with skip troweled ceilings of this exclusive 6,000 sq ft home.

    Brevard County Water Damage Drywall Repair

    On this Brevard County water damage repair project video, I show you the whole process of doing a water damage drywall repair from start to finish. When
    the plumbing leak happened the homeowners cut out the area of drywall that had been damaged by
    the water. After they did that they realized that it might be a little bit bigger
    project than they really could handle.


    In My Youtube video I’ll show you how I do the drywall finishing on this water damage drywall repair from start to finish. There is also a link within in the video of me applying a orange peel texture to this same repair.

    1) The first thing I needed to do was square up the drywall because when they cut it out it was kind of crooked and just passed a couple studs.

    2) Next, I added a couple of one by four furring strips to be able to attach the new drywall too.

    3) I then added two pieces of 1/2″ drywall to the repair areas.

    Drywall tip: when doing these types of wall
    repairs always add a screw into the existing drywall that was not cut out to
    secure it so it will not crack overtime

    4) I added fiberglass mesh drywall tape to all of the seams except the one corner where I like to use paper tape to get a nice crisp defined corner.

    Drywall tip: when using fiberglass mesh drywall tape always use a setting type of joint compound this means it comes in a powder form and is much stronger than the all-purpose joint compound that comes in a 5 gallon bucket.



    5) Mix The setting type of joint compound and apply it with a 6 to 12 inch drywall taping knife trying to keep all edges smooth and not raised.

    6) Scrape any high or raised areas on the drywall mud that you just applied using a 6 inch drywall taping knife.

    7) apply the second coat with a 12 inch taping knife depending on how soon you want this to be ready to texture and paint you can use the setting type compound or if you’re not in a hurry just use a all-purpose joint compound.

    8) apply the third coat you really shouldn’t have to put much mud on just a thin layer of all-purpose joint compound.

    Drywall tip: I like to use the all-purpose over the setting type compound for the final finish coat because it sends a lot easier than the setting type joint compound.

    9) Using hand sander or sanding sponge Sand down any edges or bumps or humps on your mud work. And touch up any areas that look like they might just need a little bit of mud.

    10) Next, I applied the orange peel texture to the repair walls and feathered it into the existing texture which makes it blend and not stand out like a repair any longer.

    11) Lastly, prime the repaired areas with your favorite type of primer and then paint two coats and you’re done!

    Painter tip: I like to use a primer called Zinsser 123 primer in these
    types of repairs. Not only is it a great drywall primer, it also has a stain blocker in it
    just in case any water stains that might show up from when the plumbing leak originally occurred. That’s my primer recommendation.

    Good luck on your water damage drywall repair project!


    Cape Canaveral, FL | Water Damaged Popcorn Ceiling From Tropical Storm Debby

    Here’s a repair I did on a water damaged popcorn ceiling at a condominum complex that I have the contract to do all of their drywall and painting work in Cape Canaveral, FL. The water damage was caused by a roof leak during Tropical Storm Debby.

    Water Damaged Popcorn Ceiling:

     

    Water damaged area cut out and new drywall installed.

    Ceiling repair taped, mudded and skim coated.

     

    New popcorn texture applied and feathered out to blend into existing popcorn texture on the ceiling.

    Merritt Island FL | Exterior House Painting Project by: Peck Painting

    After digging out 4″ to 6″ around the perimeter and pressure washing this Merritt Island home we repaired all of the damaged stucco from the back patio screen room being removed and all of the staircase stucco cracks. We cover and protected plants, sidewalks, windows, pavers and any exterior lighting fixtures. Then apply a tinted primer to ensure good adhesion, caulk all of the windows and apply two coats of Richards Signature Series Exterior Paint-(satin). We also spray painted the garage doors for a new factory finish look.

    Once all of the painting was completed we backfilled around the perimeter and did one last walk through with homeowner’s to make sure they were completely satisfied.

    A most professional business.

    Outstanding estimates, outstanding work. Never a doubt as to the quality of the product. Paul inspects the job much more thoroughly than me. Yes, I recommend Peck Drywall and Painting to anyone who asks.
