Residential Projects
Local Manufacturing Plant – Cafeteria
We spent last weekend (Friday night and Saturday) at a local manufacturing plant cafeteria. We had to remove existing wallcovering, prep walls, and install new. The owner’s rep mentioned that they had difficulty removing wallcovering in the past and he wasn’t kidding! Wow. The face of the drywall came off in many areas; one wall, it came off entirely. We cut back loose areas and applied a coat of Gardz wall repair primer. Some of the areas bubbled, so we cut out those areas and applied more Gardz. We skim coated all areas with EZ sand Durabond (some areas twice). We came in early Saturday to sand and apply a coat of oil base primer. Some areas bubbled again, so we had to cut those areas out, apply more primer, skim, and re-prime. We hung the wallcovering and still noticed a couple bubbled areas. To completely remove them we injected adhesive with a syringe to get those bubbles down. The job turned out really nice and the customer is happy.

Residence – Orchard Park, NY
Phase 2 of ceiling texture removal in this 3 bedroom home in Orchard Park. We used a lot of plastics to protect their home; Floor was covered with thick plastic, walls were covered with thin plastic. Normally, we paint the walls after ceiling texture removal but the customer had painted the walls last year. The texture came off pretty well. Only minor repairs were needed after power vacuum sand and primer. Made the repairs and painted 2 coats on the ceiling. We tried to protect the walls, but the water used to soak the ceilings also soaked the tape and the plastic fell off. We ended up washing the walls down after completion and also had to “cut in” the wall/ceiling line.
Phase 3 will be the master bedroom and closet. 16’ ceiling height, but we will be painting the walls during this part.
Event Center
Two summers ago we removed and installed wallcovering at an Event Center. The walls were not prepared properly before we got there. There was a lots of damage. See picture 1. We repaired and prepped the walls properly prior to our install.
They called us back recently as they had some area in the corridor where wallcovering was scuffed badly and wanted us to remove and repair. It came right off. No damage. We were able to quickly remove and install new paper. (less than one day). See picture 2 and 3. The white areas are our repairs from 2 summers ago.
Quite often customers will ask if we really need to prep walls prior to wallcovering. This is the reason why.
We Helped Save the Deal!
Got a call from a realtor last week. Needed some repair work done on basement walls. Home inspector wanted walls scraped (using Lead Safe practices) and repainted prior to the sale.
We got over there quickly, prepped, scraped, cleaned up and applied 2 coats of Watertite basement wall paint.
