The Painting of an Entire House #6

I was booked up rather solid during June.  One job that would have lasted 4 days was postponed.  Fortunately, I got a call from a previous person who postponed their job.  I gladly took the work so my crew would stay busy during this time.  Little did I realize the magnitude of what I did.  I, essentially, overbooked my schedule for 2.5 weeks of June. 

This house was a huge undertaking.  It was poorly rehabbed during the early housing boom of the late 90's in Queen Village.  Plus there was other water damage from the hurricane Irene of last year.  We repaired all of the nail pops, cracked walls, water damage, poorly spackled seams, installed new 1/4 round along the baseboards, and painted every surface of this 4 story home.

The 1st floor bathroom had its drywall removed by another team prior to my arrival.  Below is one angle of how I found it.

 Then, we finished it

The 2nd floor living room had cracks, nail pops, and bad seams everywhere. 

 You may not be able to tell the difference from this photo, but it is a much nicer room now

There was some major damage in the ceiling of their office

 Much nicer

 I am including the two photos below to show the details of the changes from red and cream...

 ...to grey and white

In all, this was a great project that lasted over 2 weeks with a split crew.  It was extremely rewarding to repair this home and give the owners a nice place to live.  It also proved that I could handle the scheduling nightmare that I took on.
