We are Paint Works, a company specializing in painting services. However, before we can begin the painting process, it is crucial to repair the underlying surfaces to achieve exceptional results. The restoration of trim, molding, and woodwork plays a significant role in enhancing the overall quality of your paint job. These carpentry elements frame the walls, while doorways and windows serve as focal points in the room's architecture. Particularly in historic or old homes, the woodwork is a crucial detail that can either enhance the room's aesthetic or detract from it. We offer various ways to make the woodwork in your home shine.
1. Wood Stripping:
Over time, trim paint becomes thick and durable to withstand wear and tear. However, this can lead to rounded corners and a loss of crisp details. To address this, we can strip your trim and molding back to the bare wood, providing a fresh surface for a new finish.
2. Millwork Repair:
Historic millwork is often not readily available at local lumber yards. Therefore, we may need to patch or recreate old woodwork to match your home. Whenever possible, we utilize the original wood, and if necessary, we will match the existing profile and wood grain of your molding and trim.
3. Period Refinishing:
Restoring a historic home to its former glory involves paying attention to even the smallest details. Recreating period finishes is one such detail that significantly contributes to the overall effect. We will collaborate with you to select appropriate paints, stains, and lacquers for your space. Moreover, we ensure that our application techniques seamlessly blend with the existing finishes.
By employing these techniques, we can transform the woodwork in your home, enhancing its beauty and preserving its historical charm.
