Meet Our Team – Danielle

In the past, Karen’s Company has done some volunteer painting for the Book Arts League which now occupies the old farmhouse on 95th St, a little north of Arapahoe. This summer we had the opportunity to do some more work for them. Someone had painted the front porch with a paint product that was peeling off and looked terrible. So we came in and stripped off all the existing paint from the porch floor and then re-stained with a penetrating stain that will not peel. The stripping turned out to be a tedious process and combined with the extreme heat (we started this when we were going through the 100+degree days!) made it take a little while. We even brought a “tent” to try and create some shade one morning! But perseverance won out and now the porch floor looks so nice. We also did some touch-up prep & painting of the window sills of the south facing windows.

Karen’s Company enjoyed pitching in to restore and maintain a portion of this historical farm house.

Next year we look forward to returning to the old farm house for more maintenance painting. Giving back, is an important part of keeping our community strong and maintaining our towns history.

  The Ewing Farm buildings are all that remains of a historic Boulder County homestead settled over 125 years ago at what was then called “Eight-Mile Corner,” now 95th and Arapahoe streets in Lafayette.

 ”Why not add your favorite color to your room by painting your doors?”

Your builder painted your closet doors with the same paint as your trim – But you don’t have to keep it that way!

Why not add your favorite color to your room by painting your closet doors?

This works especially well in a room with neutral colors.

Accent your room, complement your furniture or window treatments, give your kids a blast of their favorite sports teams colors!

And that’s just a start – we can add stencils, stripes, even “brick” or “denim” effects.

Here is this Month’s Painting Special:

Karen’s Company will contribute $50 to one of four “Special Causes” for each homeowner who accepts a painting propsal for at least $500 and encloses a copy of this flyer with their final payment. “Special Causes” offer ends October 31, 2012. Special Causes for this month are the Sega Girls School, Susan G. Komen Foundation, Boulder Humane Society & Sister Carmen Community Center.

Thanks for your support! – Karen.

Birds singing, sun shining, and people out and about are all signs that spring is here. You go outside to enjoy the weather, take a look at your house and can see what Mr. Winter Weather did to your exterior. There are several things you may notice: chipping and peeling, mildew growth, caulking problems, gutter issues, and worn stain on decks, fences, pergolas and trellises; these are all things that could be potentially harmful to your home.

Chipping and Peeling

There are two signs you need to spruce up your exterior paint; there are obvious mass coating failures, or there are small amounts of chipping and peeling, which expose the wood underneath. These are both signs your top coat isn’t protecting the wood from weathering. Paint works the same at protecting your siding and trim as the way your skin protects your body.

There are several other ways to tell if your home needs to be painted and renewed; the color is fading and is noticeably lighter, the light colors are turning gray, and/or deep colors are losing their base and depth. Also, if you find chalking on the surface of the paint, it may mean you need to get your home power washed and painted. To test for chalking, rub your hand over the siding surface; if it leaves paint residue on your hand this is a sign the paint is breaking down and ready to be re-coated.

Caulking

Caulking failure can also be extremely dangerous for your home. The caulk can pop-out or split open leaving you with three potential problems:

1. Loss of energy efficiency.
2. Weather and insects can enter where failure occurred.
3. Moisture can get behind the wood and paint, which leads to peeling of paint, rotting of wood and mildew growth on the surface and inside the home.

Caulking is also important cosmetically; if it is done properly, it will look seamless with your paint and will be tight and secure. The look will be more complete and your home will instantly benefit from a solid and intricate caulking application.

Other Problem Areas

During the winter months, snow and ice can settle into your home’s gutters with the potential of moisture getting behind the fascia. A few ways to tell if your fascia needs a new paint job are: water stains, peeling and blistering of the paint, and bowing of the wood. If you notice these warning signs, it is best to have someone come out and fix problem areas.

The snow, ice and cold weather can also be a detriment to the staining on decks, fences and trellises. Seeing exposed wood means it is time to protect the wood for spring; you may see heavy wood graining or see fibers in the wood, but they both require the same maintenance.

Final Recommendations

The tips outlined above are a good guideline to use when determining what type of work your home may need after a harsh winter. Whether it is a new paint job or getting your home power washed to eliminate mildew along with a few “touch-ups” to take care of those problem areas, each improvement you make will help your home stay beautiful longer.  A good painting contractor will provide an honest and detailed quote for what painting and preparation your home may need.  Quotes should be free and you should always meet your contractor to walk around your home, so that the contractor can point out and explain issues and solutions.

Our Early Season Exterior Painting Special is $250 off your painting project.  Project must be $4000 or more.
