Pool Deck Repair and Painting in Indialantic, Fl
After pressure washing this Indialantic beach homes entire pool deck and the lanai's textured concrete floors, we acid etched the concrete where the pool deck repairs were going to be done. Next we repaired all of the pool deck cracks and floated out the areas where there had been previous pool deck repairs and also skim coated the spots where the textured finish was chipping off in several areas with a thin coat of Kool deck. Then, we applied the new surface texture to all of the repaired pool deck areas to match the existing pool deck texture. Finally we spot primed with an epoxy floor primer and painted two coats of Richards Paint- Deck Guard pool deck and patio paint. Here's a short before and after video clip of this Indialantic pool deck and lanai before it was repaired and painted and then the after video of the amazing transformation of this … [Read More...]

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.

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.

These types of plumbing disasters can result in thousands of dollars worth of damage and plenty of frustrations to go along with it!

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? 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...]
