How to spray popcorn ceiling texture on a drywall ceiling repair
On this popcorn ceiling repair project, I'll demonstrate how to spray and blend popcorn ceiling texture on an actual ceiling repair that had water damage from a roof leak in Merritt Island, Florida. I'll be using my GoPro while shooting the video. This will give you a unique perspective of how I spray and feather and match popcorn ceiling texture with a hopper and compressor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZF2_Lxw649E Prep- After I moved a few things out of the work zone, I covered the floor with 2 mil plastic and in order to contain all of the dust from the ceiling repair and the popcorn ceiling spray texture, I created a plastic bubble going from the ceiling to to the floor by using .31 mil plastic. Next, I scraped back the area of the ceiling where the popcorn texture had the water damage from a roof leak that had occurred while these homeowners were getting a new roof … [Read More...]
Interior Painting 8 colors and 1 townhouse in Melbourne,Florida
I just finished up this interior painting project in the Suntree/Viera area of Melbourne. The townhouse is 2200 sq.ft. We painted the entire place: baseboards, casing, crown, stair trim, spindles, all doors, bifolds, ceilings, walls and three accent walls. It was unoccupied and all of the carpeting will be replaced after the painting is completed. We used a local paint manufacturers paint called Richards Paint.

Merritt Island – Wood Siding Repair – Exterior Painting
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 … [Read More...]

Drywall Art Sculpture- Taking my shark sculpture to another level
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. My completed hand painted and framed shark sculpture … [Read More...]
Merritt Island FL | Exterior House Painting Project by: Peck Painting
After digging out 4" to 6" around the perimeter and pressure washing this Merritt Island home we repaired all of the damaged stucco from the back patio screen room being removed and all of the staircase stucco cracks. We cover and protected plants, sidewalks, windows, pavers and any exterior lighting fixtures. Then apply a tinted primer to ensure good adhesion, caulk all of the windows and apply two coats of Richards Signature Series Exterior Paint-(satin). We also spray painted the garage doors for a new factory finish look. Once all of the painting was completed we backfilled around the perimeter and did one last walk through with homeowner's to make sure they were completely satisfied. A most professional business. Outstanding estimates, outstanding work. Never a doubt as to the quality of the product. Paul inspects the job much more thoroughly than me. Yes, I recommend Peck … [Read More...]
Cocoa Beach Popcorn Ceiling is Falling Down!
The sprayed on popcorn texture (also known as acoustical ceiling texture) was falling off of this Cocoa Beach condo's ceiling. Of course right smack in the middle of the ceiling in the main livingroom. That just so happen to have one of the best views of the Banana River that Cocoa Beach has to offer. Right when I looked at this ceiling I knew that a tape joint had been previously repaired at one of the drywall seams. My guess would be that when this popcorn ceiling had been repaired before. The contractors didn't prime the dusty surface after removing the old tape joint and scraping back the popcorn texture at the repair to be able to re secure and re mud the new drywall taping and mudding areas.. Dust surfaces are not the ideal area to try and do drywall finishing on. These types of ceiling repairs will surely fail if the proper preparations are not done at the beginning of a … [Read More...]

Chinese drywall mystery solved!
Chinese drywall mystery? Sulfur smell and corrosion tests negative for Chinese Drywall. I received a call from a realtor that stated a house that was on the market had been flagged during the routine home inspection after the buyers offer had been accepted. The inspector had found black corrosion on copper water lines and there was a strong smell of sulphur in the house is what caused him write "Possible Chinese drywall" in his inspection report. So until this home was inspected by a chinese drywall expert this sale was on hold if not lost. So I proceeded to ask all the usual questions when I get contacted about Chinese drywall. What year was the house built? Realtor say's: 2001 Have there been any renovations or any type of drywall repairs or ceiling repairs? Realtor: Yes a kitchen remodel Is there any visible corrosion?

Pool Patio Ceiling Repair – Tape Joints Coming Down – Merritt Island
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) … [Read More...]
