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

April 1, 2020 By Paul Peck

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

Peck Painting cares about you and the environment!

Proper surface preparation and application processes help lengthen the life span of coatings, thereby reducing the frequency of repaint related emissions and waste is our goal. “Green” is not just a color. It’s the ongoing initiative that describes our commitment to using environmentally preferable solutions whenever possible.

Often, people worry about a coating’s performance being compromised to satisfy green requirements, but our green solutions won’t compromise durability. We also offer a full line of interior low VOC (volatile organic compound) paints for occupied and public areas.

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.

: Stucco damaged at entry

: Buckled stucco

: Stucco band damaged by hurricane shutters

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.

Vaulted Ceiling Repair- Knockdown Texture Matching

June 1, 2018 By Paul Peck

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).

I absolutely recommend Peck Painting.
Paul Peck provided an accurate labor estimate then completed a beautiful and professional 100% interior paint job to my recently purchased home. The job required several sheet rock repairs that are now invisible. His attention to detail is obvious. My home has ceilings up to 30′ with nooks and crannies that look just as good as the easily reachable areas. I absolutely recommend Peck Painting.

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

December 31, 2014 By Paul Peck

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:

Skip trowel texture applied to the ceiling and ready for primer and paint

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.
