Failed coatings removed using Dumond® Smart Strip™ Log and Timber finish remover. Entire log-shell mechanically sanded with Mirka® Bulldog Gold™ abrasive disks PPG® ProLuxe™ Cetol® Log and Siding coatings applied

This house was originally a dark grey color. The paint was constantly peeling from bad prep work. BlueStar stripped all the singled siding, neutralized the stripper and primed then stained the home with Olympic Solid stain matched to Sherwin Williams Morning Sun SW 6672. All trim was repainted in bright semi-gloss white.

We applied 2 coats of oil based primer and 2 coats of premium exterior latex paint. Every detail is perfect! An extremely rewarding project to complete!

Deck was originally stained with Cabot's stain and the previous jobs were never stripped off before staining, so there was a hard "varnish" of stain built up in many areas. The entire deck was sprayed with maxxum's biodegradable deck stripper and washed off, leaving beautiful, bright, clean wood. A top coat of Sikkens SRD stain in Cedar was applied by brush to all surfaces.

Marble tiles can be tumbled in large drums to achieve an aged and softened effect, and this can look very nice providing that the stone is adequately maintained. In the case of this floor at a property in Twickenham South West London, the Marble tiles that had been laid over five years ago, and in that time the sealer had worn down offering the floor little protection. Dirt had now become ingrained in the pores of the stone and grout, and a deep clean and fresh seal were required to restore the stone’s original colour and lustre. The property owner asked me to complete the job and I was more than happy to oblige. To begin the restoration, I applied both Tile Doctor Pro-Clean, which is a high alkaline cleaner, and Tile Doctor Remove and Go, which a heavy-duty stripper and remover, to the floor and scrubbed the products in using a scrubbing pad fitted to a professional rotary machine. The chemical solvents in the Remove and Go helped to break down any old sealer that remained inside the stone, allowing the Pro Clean to then work its magic on the stubborn ingrained dirt the customer had struggled to remove previously. Some of the deeper veins and grout lines I chose to scrub by hand to ensure the fullest and most meticulous clean possible. The resulting soiled cleaning solution was then pressure rinsed with water and the soil extracted with a wet-vacuum, leaving a completely clean floor that was now ready to be sealed using a new sealant. I returned to the property the following day after allowing the Marble tiles to dry fully. Drying the tiles is a crucial part of the restoration process, since even a small quantity of excess moisture can cloud the sealer and prevent it from working to its fullest capabilities. I applied two coats of our solvent-based impregnating sealer known as Tile Doctor Colour Grow. As the name of the product suggests, Colour Grow not only protects the tiles against ingrained soil, it also thoroughly lifts and enhances the natural colours in the stone. The new seal will make it easy for our customer to maintain the floor, making daily cleaning easier. It will also protect the stone against the nasty spillages that are common in kitchens and living rooms. The customer was thrilled with the much-improved appearance of the Marble tiles and is very reassured that they will now stay in great condition for a long time. Another satisfied client!

John Shearer This project was a recent home purchase where the owners wanted a darker stain color. Stain color changes (and paint color changes) are a typical request for new home purchases; many owners want to put their own style on their new home. In this case the darker stain color changed the overall feel of the home. The darker stain added visual weight (and gravitas) to the front entry area. The existing clear coat was removed with a chemical stripper and Shearer painters used a two step dye and stain to achieve the color and depth. A satin protective coating was put on afterward.

Original Millwork restoration in proresss. The club was founded in the early 19th centry and still maintains all of its original cabinetry and hardware. All original oak millwork to be restored keeping patiena in tact no sanding. The color of the millwork has darkened due to dust build up over the years and every inch has to be washed with denatured alcohol not paint stripper.
