What to do with my old kitchen drop ceiling lighting?

Cocoa Beach condo kitchen ceiling light- Before

It’s a common dilemma among home and condo owners that I’m sure most of you have seen before.

That Ugly, outdated grid lighting system in the kitchen of a Home!

Whether you’re thinking about doing a new kitchen remodel or your just looking to modernize and open up your kitchens feel and get rid of that outdated kitchen drop ceiling and kitchen lights.
This process that I developed many years ago will turn any of these eyesore ceilings into a show piece that you will love and your neighbors will envy. I’ve installed close to one hundred of these types of trey ceilings here in the Brevard County area over the years.

Here some photo’s of the process:

Can my exterior window frames be painted?

September 24, 2017 By

This Project Blog is about exterior painting project where we also painted the peeling and chalky exterior window frames on a home in the Summer Brook sub division Melbourne, FL.

Chances are if your reading this, your windows might need a little face lift.
Getting new windows for your home just because the paint is drab and chalky could cost a pretty penny.
The good news is that You have found the perfect Melbourne painting contractor to make your windows look like new again for a fraction of the price that it would cost you to replace your windows.

Check this out:
I just finished up an exterior repaint in Melbourne, where we also painted the window frames because the windows were chalky. I have a proven track record and years of experience to prep your windows for a flawless factory finish.
Over the years I have perfected the technique and best materials to use on these types of exterior window frames.
1) Pressure wash all of the exterior surfaces to be painted.
2) Prep the surface and area around the window to be painted
3) We like to use our airless paint sprayer to prime your window frames with Richards Paint – Multi Surface Primer/Sealer.
4) After the primer dries, we caulk all of the windows to be painted.
5) Lastly, I spray two coats of Richards – Signature Series (satin or semi gloss) exterior paint for a long lasting and durable finish.

Here’s a few Before and After photos of a couple of the windows we painted:

I am absolutely delighted with the finished result.
Peck Drywall and Painting painted the exterior of my home after performing some minor stucco repairs.
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.

    Vaulted Ceiling Tape Joint Repair-Knockdown Texture Sponge

    March 20, 2016 By

    In this video blog I’ll be demonstrating how to apply an all purpose joint compound with my Knockdown Texture Sponge on a vaulted ceiling repair. The ceiling repair is the entire 36′ paper tape joint right at the vault of the open plan ceiling.

    Over time a lot of homes vaulted tape joints end up separating due to a few different factors:

    Vaulted Ceiling Tape Joint Repair Texture Sponge

    Vaulted Ceiling Tape Joint Repair


    1) These type of ceilings are exposed to excessive heat because of how close the vaulted ceiling is to the actual roof.
    2) Sometimes when the drywall was installed at the vaulted ceiling the drywall hangers leave to big of a gap at the vault.
    3) Another common mistake during the construction phase of when the drywall ceiling was initially installed without using the correct amount of fasteners which lead to the ceiling sagging over time and popping the tape joint at the vaulted ceiling.
    4) Other times there is no framing member to attach to at the top section of the vaulted ceiling.


    These are just a few of the reason why a vaulted ceilings tape joints fail.

    After applying a Straight Flex specialty tape for a nice crisp line along the vault and three coats of mud and a little fine sanding, it was time to use the knockdown texture sponge to blend the existing knockdown texture on this vaulted ceiling repair.

    I must say this knockdown texture sponge works great for matching and blending the knockdown texture. I’ve been using one for a several years now and they work great for tape joint repairs and small drywall repairs.




    Whether you’re doing drywall repairs on the wall drywall or plaster ceiling repairs you can match your existing knockdown texture with the new knockdown texture Sponge

    The knockdown texture sponge is perfect for matching knockdown texture on wall or ceiling repairs and can be purchased from The Texture Master

I can match most knockdown textures on wall and ceiling repairs that also need knockdown texture patch matched to an existing texture.

    The Rope Trick – Trim Tex Architectural Reveal Bead Installation

    January 24, 2016 By

    Reveal Bead – Tips and Tricks

    In this Blog video I’ll be demonstrating the rope trick on some inset baseboard using Trim Tex Reveal Bead for a 1/2″ reveal and Super Seal Gasket L Bead Tearaway for where the inset baseboards meet the porcelain tile floor. I’ll be installing the reveal bead by setting it in mud using USG Easy Sand 90 minute setting type joint compound w/ Trim Tex Powdered Mud Max joint compound additive. I’m also bedding in fiberglass mesh drywall tape over of the beads in the special blend of mud.

    Reveal Bead Rope Trick on Youtube

    The rope trick is perfect for protecting the reveal from getting joint compound in the reveal of the bead when doing drywall or any type of drywall art wall finishing.

    The Rope trick is a must when doing reveal beads!

    Once the rope is pulled out from the first coat I’ll be doing two more coats of the Mud Max 90 without the rope. Because with the rope trick the mud is very close to being flat along the top and bottom of the architectural reveal bead. I chose to use the architectural reveal bead because it creates the sharpest cleanest aesthetic reveals. The regular reveal bead has has more of a rounded profile along the top and bottom of the reveal. Both of these types of 1/2″ reveal beads or any reveal beads for that matter can utilize the rope trick to keep mud from getting in the reveal while doing the first mud set and taping coat.

      Subscribe to my Youtube Channel

    to see the progress of the inset baseboards on this luxury condominium renovation!

    Comments from: Paul Peck- Owner at Peck Drywall and Painting

    In Conclusion: I highly recommend this rope trick any drywall or stucco contractors installing any type of reveal bead!

    I think the rope trick saved me several hours of work by not having to take the extra time to try and keep as mud mud as possible from getting into the reveal bead and also the time to clean out the reveal after the first coat. Because it would be virtually impossible to keep mud out of the reveal while doing the first coat of Mud max 90.

    Tip: Keep a five gallon bucket filled halfway up with water while your pulling the rope out and you can clean it off easily in the bucket wit a rag.

    PS: Our record for the most continuous amount of rope pulled was the full 50′ of rope that we had.
    Can you beat that Record???

    Cool Drywall Tool Review and Demonstration- Drywall Cutting Can Lights

    December 16, 2015 By

    In this drywall tool review and demonstration video I’ll show you how to use a can light drywall tool. It’s great for DIYers, handyman and even contractors will benefit from this must have magnetic drywall measuring and locating tool.


    The Center Mark by Calculated Industries is a great tool for marking and cutting the drywall around Can lights with a Roto Zip spiral cut saw. For remodels, new construction and ceiling repairs.


    No measuring required!


    The Center Mark is super easy to use!

  • 1) Simply screw in the magnetic post right in the can light before you put your drywall up


  • 2) Now put your drywall into position


  • 3) Next take the locator magnet and find magnetic post under the drywall before you make your cut


  • 4) Now plunge the Roto Zip or spiral cut saw into the drywall about an inch away from your Center Mark magnet toward you.


  • 5) Once you hit the metal rim of the can light, pull the cutting bit out.


  • 6) Now return the bit on the other side of the can light metal rim and follow the can light outer rim around the can light and you’re done!


    • My conclusion and drywall tool review after trying the Center Mark Drywall Tool for the first time. Is that whether you’re a DIY’er, handyman or even a remodeling contractor or drywall contractor. This product will be the fastest way and most precise way to marking and cutting the drywall around can lights on the new construction, remodels and home improvement projects.



    So with the Center Mark by Calculated Industries, You can save time and money by reducing the number of miscuts around can lights. All of this means you make more money while also getting a better end result.

    And did I mention that there is No Measuring Required!!

    The tools that I recommend precision marking and cutting are the Center Mark Drywall Tool for can lights and also the Blind Mark Magnetic Locator Tool for cutting out all sizes of electrical boxes.

    Water damage drywall repair after washers water hose bursts in Merritt Island

    May 18, 2015 By

    On this Merritt Island water damage drywall repair project I was contacted by the homeowner after their washer water line had leaked in the laundry room. Damaging one wall directly behind the washer and dryer.

    Water damage drywall repair before-2

    Water damaged wall

    Since this leak happened in the middle of the night a 24 hour water restoration emergency service company had already come out to remove all of the water damage drywall, insulation and flooring. They also dried out all of the wood framing and tile flooring. Luckily this water was a cleaned up before any mold could start to grow.

    The damage at this home could’ve been so much worse. I’ve seen water lines to washers break with no one home and the
    whole house get flooded. These types of plumbing disasters can result in thousands of dollars worth of damage and plenty of frustrations to go along with it!

    After the plumber did the necessary repairs to the washers hoses the homeowners also decided since all of the plumbing was exposed. that it was a good time to do some preventive maintenance and replace some of the aging water valves and connections which are usually a pain to get to since they’re behind the drywall in the laundry room.

    After arriving at this Merritt Island home to repair the water damaged drywall. I first had to remove all of the drywall screws from the wood framing that were left behind from the water restoration company before I could reinstall new insulation and 1/2″ drywall to the water damaged area.

    Drywall Art Sculpture- Taking my shark sculpture to another level

    February 19, 2015 By

    I’ve been creating drywall art sculptures of ocean scenes and 3D waves on the walls of homes, restaurants and doctors offices here in Brevard County, Florida for several years now. But, I had an idea of being able to take these drywall art sculptures from just walls and turn them into a framed, hand painted fine art sculpture that can be custom made and shipped to order anywhere in the US or around the world. These framed wall sculpture paintings can be hung on any wall without the sculpture artist having to be on site to create a custom wall sculpture.

    The drywall art sculpture and painting process

    Here’s a few photos of the drywall art sculpture as it goes through it’s transformation from just a sculpture to a framed and ready to hang piece of unique art.

    Happy New Year! A Brevard County Contractors 2014 year in review

    December 31, 2014 By

    I just wanted to say Happy New Year to all my past, present and future customers and fellow contractors. It’s been a very busy year and I’ve worked with some great people throughout the year.

    Looking over my 2014 year in review, It seemed like the economy here in Brevard County was on the upswing with lot’s of activity in the residential real estate and existing homeowner markets. Which included a bounty of renovation, remodel, home improvement and repair contracts throughout 2014.

    For that I Am very grateful.

    I completed many interior and exterior painting projects, stucco repair, pool deck repair, ceiling repair, drywall repair, texture matching and even soundproofing from Melbourne to Viera, Melbourne Beach, Suntree, Cocoa Beach, Satellite Beach, Indian Harbour Beach, Indialantic, Cape Canaveral, Cocoa and Merritt Island here on the Space Coast.

    Here’s just a few of the many completed before and after project photos from 2014:

    The paper tape joints were cracking and starting to fall down on this ceiling in Viera.

    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.

      5 Reason’s Why Peck Drywall and Painting Recycles

      •Recycling Saves Natural Resources – By making products from recycled materials instead of new materials, we conserve land and reduce the need to drill for oil and dig for minerals.

      •Recycling Saves Energy – It usually takes less energy to make recycled products; recycled aluminum, for example, takes 95% less energy.

      •Recycling Saves Clean Air and Water – In most cases, making products from recycled materials creates less air pollution and water pollution than making products from virgin materials.

      •Recycling Saves Landfill Space – When the materials that you recycle go into new products, they don’t go into landfills or incinerators, so landfill space is conserved.

      •Recycling Saves Money and Creates Jobs – The recycling process creates far more jobs than landfills or incinerators, and recycling can frequently be the least expensive waste management method for cities and towns.
