Door Refinishing
These doors were in need of refinishing - the original paint didn't bond well with the varnish they painted over. I removed the paint from the doors and frames, primed with a bonding primer, primed with an oil "sanding" primer and painted with latex enamel. Turned out pretty nice.
The last photo shows the hardware after stripping off the paint from the previous painter(s) and installing a new door stopper. Lots of labor to complete this job, but worth it for the end result!

Fireside Restaurant - Roseville, MN

This job involved some serious staining and varnishing, plus a good amount of painting. There are three colors of stain (the wainscoting, the trim, and the paneling).

The ceiling was the first thing to do. It received a maroon "dryfall" paint weeks before the actual construction began.
The walls were primed and painted next, then the trusses above the bar were stained and varnished prior to the contractor installing them.
The wainscoting was stained and varnished prior to the trim being installed.
The biggest challenge was the banquet room. Because the contractor was using this room as their shop and storage area, all the wood was installed prior to staining and varnishing any of it. Once all the contractors equipment was moved out, we stained and varnished all the banquet room wood in one very long, tiring weekend.
This is a project I am quite proud of - and the food is outstanding too! Pay them a visit sometime.

Parking Lot Striping
Here are some before and after shots.
The customer wanted to move some handicap stencils to a location where a new ADA compliant ramp was installed earlier in the week.
By the time we arrived to cross out two stalls in front of the ramp, two cars had already hit the ramp. After the striping and stenciling was completed, I added some reflective tape to the ramp so, hopefully, people will see the new addition to this lot.

Painting a brick fireplace
This is the fireplace from the living room side. The challenge was in protecting the freshly cleaned carpet, masking off the inside of the fireplace and the wood mantle that was built into the brick.

The paint I used matched the wall color the customer selected, and was a satin sheen. The brick was primed and then painted with an airless sprayer to achieve a nice, uniform coating while showing off the natural texture of the brick and grout without showing brush and roller marks. I forgot the camera before I started, so I don't have any "before" pics of this one.
