Hi my name is Brandon Kilbourn. Allow me to introduce you to my company B&C Construction. I just started this company as a side project/job. I have brought on with me Carter and Cedrik. Together we have years worth of experience in construction ranging from carpentry, concrete, flooring, roofing, drywall, window and door installation and remodeling/repairing. Yes we may be in our twenties, but don’t let that discourage you. Please allow us to be there for you and all of your home improvement needs and wishes. All we can ask of you as a costumer is to give us the chance to show our work.

"David did an excellent job providing everything I asked for in the bathroom remodel. He worked with all subcontractors (plumbing, electrical & wood working) to ensure all tasks were complete. David also stayed within the quoted timeline and took on additional projects as requested. Would highly recommend!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can paint certain types of hurricane shutters, like Bahama or colonial shutters. However, hurricane shutters made from rollable or foldable aluminum or metal may need to be stripped and primed before applying a fresh coat of paint, so keep that in mind if you’re looking for a certain aesthetic with your hurricane shutters.

You may be able to paint a high ceiling without a ladder if you have an extension pole that reaches high enough. Some extension poles have telescoping handles, allowing you to adjust the pole's length without needing to swap it out. Another option is to use a scaffold to reach high areas.

Dirty or not, you should always clean the wall beforehand. Even if the wall looks sparkling clean to the naked eye, it’s good practice to wipe it down with a damp rag and mild detergent. Leftover dirt, dust, and residue can create unsightly textures or interfere with the paint’s adherence to the wall. You’ll never regret cleaning it, but you might regret skipping this step.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

The best paint for an older deck depends on the material and whether or not your deck already has a coat of paint. Generally, if your deck already has paint on it, you should choose the same type of paint when repainting the deck. For example, if an old deck has oil-based paint on it, stick with oil; if your deck has water-based paint, choose water-based paint.
