Old Burlington Restoration

























































Just finished up a two-storey home exterior
in the Rexway Cumberland neighborhood
in older Burlington.

Shutters were power sanded, filled with wood epoxy
primed with 1-2-3, and given two coats of CIL Endurance
Semi-Gloss Easton Blue.

Garage Doors, Front Doors, Rear Windows were also completed
as well as roof dormers. Again 1-2-3 primer and a good quality
acrylic latex topcoat are best for the amount of UV this property
receives. In the pic above you'll see how we power abraded the old
caulking down and out of the equation with a B&D tongue sander
with a 60 grit pad. This is very effective and makes final painting
look excellent instead of slapping a new coating over old caulking
and seeing the effect of cracking and decayed caulking beads.

Special thanks to Don Morrier !

In memory of Kevin Johnston

Just wanted to pay respect to someone I worked with
at Pratt and Lambert Paints who tragically passed away
in the 3407 Plane Crash in Amherst,NY back in February.


Kevin Johnston was the lead technical hygienist for
P&L and recently was appointed director at Henkel
in Western New York. Kevin leaves behind many friends
and family across the U.S.

PineDale Condo Ceilings



















Just finished 6 ceilings at PineDale Condominiums in
Burlington. Substrate: Stucco
Finish Coat: CIL Realife Ceiling White

After completing 2900 square feet of ceiling with
Akzo's CIL Disappearing Dye Ceiling white we
are impressed with its holdout, ability to hide
and resist spatter. The disappearing dye is
excellent for visualizing previous cut-in lines
and helps when working inside a bright condominium
tower with lots of natural light. Cuts down on
eye fatigue and makes the job easier to complete
and cover in 1 coat.


Great thanks to Larry Gagne.
