The Devil is in the Details

It’s an expression that means “it may seem simple, but…” It’s identifying and dealing with loose paint. It’s filling nail holes and non-nail holes. It’s getting that fill perfectly flat and making sure a change in sheen doesn’t give it away. It’s knowing when, where, why and how to caulk. It’s the chemical properties of a proper bond and what primers are best for adhesion to your particular substrate and adhesion to the finish coat – not to mention coverage and stain blocking, which both have an amazing amount of details to consider.

There is way more to painting than spraying, rolling or brushing and way more to these three methods than most might think. Then, oh my friends, then there is the getting there – to every surface, peak, dormer, soffit and lay-on-your-back-to-reach edge.

Don’t Just Stair

Stair with color and flair. Not sure what to do with your wood stairs. You’re not alone, it’s complicated, it’s time to call in the pros at Paint Doctor’s Painting.

Check out this recent project, which included some challenging stair work. Mike can fill you in on the details, but foot traffic adds another aspect to the finish selecting process. In addition to the usual water penetration and UV protection considerations, penetration is a key component for trafficked surfaces.

Details on this project included the posts and rails and working around some cool cable infill. Note the metal stays between posts. Getting the right adhesion for this mixed media stair case is among the important components to the selecting the right coatings.

Don’t just stair, stair with the Paint Doctor. Give Mike a call. 541-497-3804.

Sherwin-Williams says, “Just like the surf that inspired it, Silvermist’s cool tone can look both blue and green. You’ll be ready to embrace both as you drift away on the coastal vibes of this gentle hue that’s so serene, you’ll be dreaming of breezy ocean air.”
