This old farmhouse bathroom was originally narrow and choppy with ceilings under 8' high. We reconfigured the space to provide better access and designed an Asian inspired bathroom using Island Stone tile products.
The vertical tiles on the shower wall create an awesome bamboo look. Adding a ceiling mirror in the shower creates the illusion of never-ending bamboo. Pebble tiles create a beautiful and unique floor that is also slip-resistant.

This commercial restoration project at the St. Simons Island Airport combined high-access stucco repair, texture matching and exterior painting.
Damaged and loose stucco on the upper façade was removed before the affected areas were rebuilt with hydraulic cement and stucco patch. The repaired sections were then textured to blend with the surrounding wall surface.
After the masonry repairs were completed, the areas were treated with a clear masonry conditioner/primer and finished with two coats of Loxon XP matched to the existing exterior color.
Because the repairs were located high above the main entrance and building signage, boom-lift access was required to complete the work safely and provide full access to the damaged areas.
The completed façade allows the restored stucco to recede back into the architecture rather than appearing as an obvious patch.
The broader commercial project also included interior drywall and painting repairs associated with electrical work. New drywall was installed where needed, taped, bedded and skim coated before sanding, spot priming and repainting.
D&D Decorators provides commercial painting, stucco restoration, drywall repair, specialty surface preparation and high-access exterior painting throughout the Golden Isles. Give us a call at (912) 715-1718 or learn more at www.dndcompany.com/commercial-painting-services/

See the drain basin under the downspout. This prevents leaves and debris from contaminating your drain lines by keeping the leaves out of the drain. Also each pot has it's own drain under the pots to keep from staining the marble treads.
