Cocoa, FL Exterior House Painting Project
August 10, 2018 By Paul Peck
On this Cocoa, Florida exterior repaint in Port Saint John we repaired several staircase stucco cracks, damaged stucco from the hurricane shutters and a buckled stucco area at the front entrance of this Cocoa, Fl home. Water had gotten behind the decorative stucco piece and rusted out the wire lathe at the front entrance of this South facing 10 year old home. Which ultimately caused the stucco to buckle and fail in that area.

Here's the steps we took to prep and paint the exterior of this Cocoa, Fl home: 1) After digging out 4" to 6" around the perimeter of this homes exterior stucco walls 2) We pressure washed all of the exterior surfaces to be painted on this stucco home. 3) Then … [Read More...]

August 12, 2018 By Paul Peck
This Project Blog is about wood siding repair and exterior repaint on a home in the Diana Shores subdivision Merritt Island, FL. We were contracted to repair a section of the wood siding that had water damage from years of just being in the elements of the harsh Florida climate and then repaint the entire exterior of this Merritt Island home. First task was to remove a 2' x 16' section of the wood siding at the bottom of the north side of the home that had water damage and wood rot. After the rotten section of the siding was removed, we checked the wood framing to see if any of the framing need to be replaced due to water damage. No damage was present on the wood framing or bottom plate.

How to paint a garage door
February 5, 2020 By Paul Peck
Your garage door is a HUGE part of the overall appearance of your home. Has your homes garage door lost it's luster? 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 … [Read More...]

September 6, 2019 By Paul Peck
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!

Drywall paper tape joints cracking and falling down?
September 25, 2018 By Paul Peck
This type of problem is very common on interior and exterior drywall ceilings. Over time the paper drywall tape begins to crack and fall down due to the heat and humidity from our harsh Florida climate. The extreme weather changes cause the wood framing to expand and contract on a daily basis in turn causing just enough movement of your ceiling to crack and pop the paper tape joints. Especially if the ceiling was nailed or not enough screws were added during the drywall installation process when your home was built. Due to the drywall crew trying to move to fast! That's why I always re-secure the drywall joints with screws and check the entire ceiling to make sure it was secured properly during the construction phase. A lot of times the ceiling needs to be completely re-screwed. The paper tape joints were cracking and starting to fall down on this pool patios drywall … [Read More...]
Knockdown textured ceiling bubbling while painting lanai in Rockledge, Fl.
April 6, 2018 By Paul Peck
Textured patio ceiling bubbling, blistered or falling down? I've seen this issue quite a few times over the years on knockdown, skip trowel, orange peel and popcorn textured exterior drywall ceilings. In this video I'm scraping the areas where the knockdown texture and paint had bubbled. So today while on an complete exterior repaint in Rockledge, Fl. I was painting the first coat of exterior latex paint on the lanai ceiling, when the knockdown texture on the exterior drywall pool patio ceiling started to come off on to my roller nap. The ceiling texture had bubbled in two separate areas. It was as if the texture itself had lost any adhesion and all that was left after peeling the texture off was bare drywall which was dusty just like the back of the texture sheet that I removed. I'm not sure if the ceiling was painted to soon before the knockdown texture had dried completely back … [Read More...]

Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
The prices at Peck Drywall and Painting are very reasonable. I'm kind of picky but I would give them A's.
I have a stucco home that needed painting and some minor stucco repair. Paul Peck came out to give an estimate in person at my earliest convenience and was very knowledgable and professional. His estimate was competitive with the four other estimates I received and he was able to start the job within a short period of time. He was present each day and his crew is very skilled and courteous. They worked around inclement weather and kept me informed of any issues or schedule adjustments. I am absolutely delighted with the finished result and would not hesitate to recommend this company to other Angie's List members.
Called Pecks right before selling my home. House was 2 years old and had some stucco cracks and fading on outside and picture holes in wall on inside. Got an estimate fast, it was a good price to do everything I wanted and the house looks better than it did when I bought it new once Paul was done. Definitely highly recommend if you need any drywall, painting or repair work completed
Member Comments: The job went very well except for a few delays due to weather. Peck arrived as scheduled and began with a pressure cleaning of the entire house and also pulling the soil back from around the bottom edge of the house to allow for paint application down to the ground level. A 6 foot verticle section of rotted wood trim board was replaced at one of the house corners. A piece of trim board was also added around a window. Both of these trim pieces were installed very well and blended in perfectly with the existing wood trim.
Three coats of paint were applied to the entire house; a sealer coat then 2 top coats. The paint came out beautifully with fine attention to detail. The work site was cleaned up every day.
I want to express my great appreciation for a job very well done when you and your team fixed the badly damaged popcorn ceiling of my condo in Cocoa Beach. I am impressed with the perfection of the job, the professionalism of your team and the great price of the work. Your work is totally consistent with the advertising in your webpage. Definitely, I will call you for my future projects.
