Pool Patio Ceiling Repair – Tape Joints Coming Down – Merritt Island

August 31, 2018 By

This Project Blog is about a exterior pool patio ceiling repair on a home in the Indian Bay sub division Merritt Island, FL.
This type of problem is very common on exterior ceilings. Over time the paper drywall tape begins to fail. The heat and humidity from the Florida climate and the added moisture in the air around a pool cause the tape to crack and start falling down.
Over the years I have perfected the technique and best materials to use on these types of exterior ceilings.
1) Cover and protect the pool/patio deck.
2) We removed all of the paper tape from all of the drywall seams.
3) I like to re secure the drywall at all of the seams, just in case the drywall wasn’t secured properly during the drywall installation phase when the home was built.
4) Install fiberglass mesh drywall tape to all of the exposed seams (much more exterior friendly than the drywall paper tape).
5) Apply two coats of a setting type joint compound (hot mud).
6) Apply final coat with all purpose joint compound or light weight compound
7) Install a knockdown texture at the repaired areas, feathering into the existing knockdown texture to match.

Here’s a few Before and After photos of this pool patio ceiling repair with a knockdown texture:

    Merritt Island – Wood Siding Repair – Exterior Painting

    August 12, 2018 By

    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.

    Next, we installed the new section of T-111 wood siding and a piece of pressure treated wood trim at the area where the old siding had to be cut.

    Then lastly, we spot primed the repaired wood siding and applied two coats of Richards- Signature Series- Acrylic Satin House and Trim Paint.

    Here’s a few Before and After photos of this Merritt Island wood siding repair :

      Cocoa, FL Exterior House Painting Project

      August 10, 2018 By

      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.

      Chalky paint

      Chalky paint

      The whole house had chalky and faded paint that we had to deal with by priming all of the surfaces to be painted first, before we could start the exterior house painting.



      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 repaired several buckled stucco areas, stucco that had been damaged from hurricane shutters and staircase stucco cracks.

      4) Next we spot primed the repaired stucco areas with Richards- Rich Flex alkali resistant acrylic masonry primer.

      5) Then we applied Richards- Rich Flex multi-surface conditioner (due to chalkiness and also to assure good adhesion of the finish coat) to the rest of the surfaces of the home to be painted.

      6) Lastly we re-caulked all windows and applied two colors and two coats of Richards- Signature Series 100% acrylic satin house and trim paint to the stucco walls, bands, columns, garage doors and all exterior entry doors. We also spray painted the garage doors for a fresh new factory finish look.

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

      Highly Recommended!.

      We recently used Peck Drywall & Painting to paint the exterior of our house and pool deck. Their quote was competitive, and they completed the work promptly and to a very high standard. They were courteous and professional from start to finish. We will use them for all of our future painting needs.

      July 20, 2018 By

      This Project Blog is about a drywall ceiling repair on a home in the Rio Villa sub division Indialantic, FL.
      We were contracted to repair a section of the formal dining room ceiling that had water damage from a roof leak.
      First task was to cover and protect the flooring and anything else in the room.

      Then we removed and replaced a 4′ x 12′ section of the drywall ceiling that had a skip trowel texture.

      After the new drywall was installed, three coats of a setting type joint compound was applied so the drywall finishing and skip trowel texture could be completed in one day.

      Next, we Installed a skip trowel texture at the repaired area feathering into the existing skip trowel texture.

      Then lastly, spot primed the repair and applied two coats of Richards- Rich Wall Premium Acrylic Paint (flat white-L4 white tint).

        How To and Product Review – Strait Flex Uno-Bead

        June 25, 2018 By

        Strait Flex Uno-Bead - Corner bead on a roll

        Strait Flex Uno-Bead – Corner bead on a roll


        In this product review and demonstration video, I will be using the Strait flex Uno-Bead for the first time ever. This will enable you to see how easy the Strait Flex Uno-Bead is to work with without ever have used it before. Or what might be a bit of a learning curve when it comes to using a product you have never used before. Thanks for watching and if you have any questions about the Strait Flex Uno-Bead please feel free to ask me in the comments section of my video on Youtube.

        I’ll be replacing the old corner bead from a closet modification with the Strait Flex composite corner bead on a roll. The closet had already been taken apart by the homeowner that had just purchased this home.The plan was to make a computer/gaming area for their son where the closet was. Since their new to them home was having several remodeling projects going on anyways they wanted to have me take care of this extra job while I was there.

        My conclusion after trying Uno-Bead for the first time on this remodeling project is that whether you’re a contractor, handyman or even a home improvement DIY’er. This product will be a fast and easy way to install corner bead on new drywall and drywall repairs. And the Strait Flex Uno-Bead is much stronger the traditional corner beads which means it’s great for drywall corners in high traffic areas.

        Another benefit is Uno-Bead requires less joint compound than the traditional metal corner bead or vinyl corner bead. Which speeds up drying time as well. So you can save time, the amount of materials needed to finish outside 90 degree drywall corner. All of this means you make more money while also getting a better and stronger end result. Also since this corner bead product comes on a roll, it’s easily stored eliminating the need to have a special place to store it from getting damaged before getting to the job where you’ll be doing your drywall finishing.

        I would definitely use Strait Flex Uno-Bead Again again!

        Here some stats about Strait Flex Uno-Bead 222:

      • This composite corner bead provides outside 90 degree corners for drywall, plaster and EIFS applications and perfectly replaces damaged metal corner bead.
      • Works on all inside and outside corners
      • Drywall, thin coat plaster, EIFS and kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, home renovations and new construction.
      • High traffic areas where bumps and dents commonly occur.
      • Reduces waste and is easily transported.
      • Uno-Bead 222 is sized to be a permanent replacement to damaged corner bead.
      • Installs using all standard methods: Drywall compound, Plaster, EIFS, glue, staples, nails or screws.
      • Available in 2.22″ and 3″ widths.
      • Mold proof, Rust proof and Alkali resistant.
      • Slots insure quick drying time and unmatched bonding strength.
      • PVC/Nylon composite material ensure straight corners every time and prevents mold and rust.

        It ‘s amazing how a little Wainscoting Bead Board paneling can transform a wall from just another textured and painted wall, to a focal point of any room. The beadboard paneling not only adds interest to a space but it also is very durable and when painted with a satin or semi gloss paint, cleaning the Wainscoting is a breeze!

            June 1, 2018 By

            This Project Blog is about a vaulted ceiling repair on a rental home in Cocoa, FL.
            Along with priming and painting the entire interior of this Port Saint John home. We were also contracted to repair the tape joint at the vaulted ceiling that was cracking and falling down.
            First, We needed to cover and protect even though the carpeting will be replaced after all of the interior painting and ceiling repairs are completed. Next, Remove and replace the tape joint at vaulted ceiling and apply three coats of a setting type joint compound. Then, Install knockdown texture at repaired area feathering into the existing knockdown texture. Next, Prime the repair and all of the other ceilings and walls with an oil base stain blocking primer due to some smoke damage from the previous renters. Lastly, We applied two coats of Richards- Rich-shield Paint (satin).

            Exterior Painting a short sale home in Palm Bay, Fl

            May 29, 2018 By

            I just finished up this interior and exterior painting project in Palm Bay , Fl. The house was just purchased in a short sale due to foreclosure. The home was 1800 sq.ft with a stucco finish.

            After pressure washing this Palm Bay home, we repaired all of the staircase stucco cracks, applied a tinted primer to ensure good adhesion, and then applied two coats of Richards Signature Series- satin exterior paint. We also painted the garage floor with an epoxy garage floor paint.

            Here’s a few Before and After photos of the exterior painting:

            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.

            Knockdown textured ceiling bubbling while painting lanai in Rockledge, Fl.

            Rockledge Exterior-ceiling bubble

            Rockledge patio ceiling bubbling

            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 when the home was built in 1998 or if there was some type of roof leak or if the exterior patio ceiling had just been baked by the hot Florida summer temperatures for the last 16 years that had caused the texture to fail long before we started painting the ceiling.

            After scraping the problem areas of the ceiling I will:
            1) Spot prime these areas with a spray can of oil base Kilz
            2) Skim coat the primed areas with 20 minute hot mud
            3) Wet sand the edges to blend into the existing texture
            4) Apply the knockdown texture feathering to match the existing ceiling texture
            5) Spot prime with a quality latex primer
            6) Spot paint areas with an exterior paint
            7) Repaint the entire lanai ceiling

            In conclusion. As you can see that are a lot of steps that go into repairing an exterior ceiling that is bubbling and then trying to match the original knockdown texture on a project like this. I would recommend getting a professional drywall or painting contractor in your area who knows the best ceiling repair techniques and 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 texturing!
