Before.

  A Greenport beauty buried under decades of white paint.

 

After.

 The original brick is revealed and the gracious lines of the house are visible again.

           
           

Our crew used the "Peel-Away" system which is a lye based product.

 

We also did extensive repairs to the roof edge and fascia.

         

           

The windows were covered with older style storm windows that obscured the sash.

 

New storm/screen windows fit flush with the jamb and are color matched to the trim.

         
           

Inside the house we found that the old plaster walls were impossible to restore, being coated with layers of  paste and improperly applied paint.

 

The chimney front in a guest room was peeling and the plaster on the ceiling had lost its grip.

         
           

Our solution was to cover the plaster with 1/4" sheetrock, carefully cut around the fancy casing.

 

The walls were painted with a matte white and the trim is painted with Old Village latex paint.

         

 

         

The chimney front and ceiling are fully repaired

 

The panels under the windows were repaired and the trim sanded down to bare wood.
