Repairs are where it's at These Days

The front of this place is impressive, and it brings back memories from the 2 different times I have worked on this beautiful home.
A bad deck design equals repairs and just a tiny quick hit job for us, but I love working on homes like this and any job is a good job right now.

Cliff's Disaster





When there is a bad line of communication this is what can happen...
Cliff wanted an imperfect smooth and the guys he hired gave him a case of the measles. The paramedics of Plastering can help here. We will first grind these bumps off and then bond over the acrylic, and then re base coat the thing. Finally we will put our imperfect smooth finish over the whole thing. I think Cliff will be happy.You can see there are three different things going on on this poor old house. The other plasterers were stopped in the nick of time and we can make this right. Even that awful blue colour was something the homeowner didn't want. It is funny to think the salesman thought he could sell this mess. Nate and I just shook our heads and wondered what in the world they were thinking?
