Toppainting and plastering inc, we already have over 15 years of experience at painting , decorating and bathroom renovation I worked for 5 years in London,and my last 10 years in Massachusetts and South Carolina, What made us move to this beautiful city SC is the lack of qualified labor and qualified professionals and that is why we are here to deliver the best to each client. where we paint a house with a high finish and quality. I have a team of professional painters who all work under my supervision so that together with my crew we can offer guaranteed quality work. I would like to explain a little about the way we do exterior and interior painting. Pressure Wash Exterior JoMaxx, Bleach, Water, TSP, and AJAX. This solution is made to kill mold and mildew. Cleaning with bleach alone only dyes the mold and mildew and then forces the spore further into the surface. The addition of TSP helps remove oxidation and ensure a strong bond between the surface and the base coat. The addition of soap helps the chemical mix stick to the sides, allowing it to be the muscle that works the surface and allows for an easy lower pressure rinse. My method of extensive prep start with proper cleaning. Trench Perimeter and protect surrounding areas, as needed with plastic and/or tarps. Paper may be used on concrete walkways. Wire brush rusty and/or exposed nail heads, both in the siding and trim/trim accents. Set the nail. Spot prime each set nail with Rust Inhibitive Oil Primer, twice. This will encapsulate the surface rust and not allow it to continue the corrosion process. Repair the set hole. Repairs should be made with exterior grade spackling compound or wood filler. Sand repairs until smooth. Spot prime said repairs with an exterior grade multi surface primer. All of our internal work is done with festool machine, so that we minimize as much dust às possible and we like working with festool for the quality and finish these machines give to us

"Alex and Cleo did a great job. Thoroughly prepped, primed and painted (2 coats) walls and ceiling. Completed in one day including clean-up. Excellent quality at a reasonable price. Would definitely rehire Alex and team for any painting project and probably anything else he would agree to do!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

You can use a nail to find ceiling joists, but it’s not as reliable as a stud finder, and you’ll end up with lots of small holes in your ceiling. If the nail hits a joist, you'll feel increased resistance. Mark the spot with a pencil. Repeat this process regularly along the ceiling, 16 or 24 inches apart, until you've mapped out the joist locations.

Depending on your carport's configuration, foundation or slab condition, and location in relation to the house, turning a carport into a garage has a lot in common with adding an addition to your home. However, you can skip some of the necessities of adding living space to your home, such as fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall or HVAC. It might be possible to DIY the conversion, but it’s complicated and potentially dangerous work, so it’s best left to the professionals.
