Williamsville, NY

Property Type:

Project Scope:

Apply 2 coats to shutters and front black railings

Client Type:

Residential Homeowner

Project Overview

This project involved giving a large 5,300 sq ft Williamsville home a crisp, clean exterior update with two coats of paint on its shutters and front black railings. While the scope seemed straightforward, the execution required meticulous prep to protect nearby surfaces from overspray during spraying.

The Challenge: Proper Deck Prep for Lasting Results

Before painting could begin, our crew carefully prepped the work area, focusing on:

  • Applying protective paper to the concrete and areas near the railings
  • Masking adjacent siding to prevent stray paint particles
  • Ensuring all surfaces were clean and ready for adhesion

This prep was critical for maintaining a flawless finish while safeguarding the home’s curb appeal.

The Paint Application & Finish

Once the area was fully protected, our team:

  • Applied two coats of high-quality exterior paint to the shutters and railings
  • Used spray application for smooth, even coverage on railings
  • Maintained consistent brushwork on shutters for a uniform look

Results

The result was a smooth, uniform, and vibrant finish that not only improved the deck’s appearance but also extended its lifespan. The railings and stairs matched seamlessly with the deck surface, giving the entire outdoor space a polished, inviting look.
