Project Details

Start Date: April 2024
Duration: 14 days
Tasks Involved: Light Carpentry, Prepping, and Painting

Initial Condition of the Home

The newly purchased home was in decent condition but needed some updates. Light carpentry work was required, and the new flooring recently installed by the homeowner necessitated careful planning and execution to avoid any damage during the painting process.

Challenges and Solutions

Special Challenges:

• New Flooring Protection: The home had brand new floors that required careful covering and protection to prevent any damage during the painting process.
• Baseboard Replacement: Some baseboards needed to be replaced due to a gap left between the new flooring and the trim, which had previously accommodated carpet.

Special Equipment and Techniques:

• Protective Coverings: Extensive use of protective coverings was necessary to safeguard the new floors. This included drop cloths, plastic sheeting, and painter’s tape to ensure all surfaces remained untouched by paint.
• Carpentry Tools: Standard carpentry tools were used to replace and fit the new baseboards seamlessly.

Execution

The project began with the meticulous covering of all new floors to protect them from any potential damage. The team then proceeded to replace the necessary baseboards, ensuring a perfect fit with the new flooring. Once the carpentry work was completed, the prepping and painting phases began.

The team used high-quality paints and materials to achieve a flawless finish. Each room was carefully prepped, including sanding, priming, and repairing any minor wall imperfections. The painting process was executed with precision, ensuring clean lines and a professional look.

Results

After 14 days of dedicated work, the home was transformed. The new paint brought a fresh, vibrant look to the property, enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal. The replaced baseboards blended seamlessly with the new flooring, providing a polished and cohesive appearance throughout the home.
