Kitchen Cabinets – Crown Molding Is A Must!

Kitchen Crown Molding

One of the popular upgrades we can make to kitchen cabinets prior to painting them is installing crown moldings at the top of the cabinets. This makes ordinary kitchen cabinets look and feel more custom once painted. On many kitchen cabinets above the sink is a valance. Even worse is when this valance is “wavy”. We remove the valance and return the crown to the walls. This is a relatively simple thing to do but has a major affect on the over look of the cabinets. It makes your mundane and ordinary kitchen look much more custom.

Newly Finished Carpentry Project…Check Out This New Deck!

I know I know, it’s been 278 some odd days since our last blog post. I blame the economy. Anywho, I wanted to throw up the recently finished deck project we started a few weeks ago. Here are a few money shots from our project, and you can find the rest in our Photo Gallery HERE (Under Carrie in Hopkinton).

With so many differences on the pictures, it would be impossible to dive into all of them. So, like the highlights magazine, lets see how many differences you can find! Hint, there is 17.

Hubley Painting – Carpentry Project

Well, to start a new portion of my blogs will be going through a current carpentry project for Hubley Painting. Ready for the ride?

Today we began rebuilding a customers deck in Hopkinton Massachusetts.

We will be:

1) Removing the railing sections off of the deck, which includes the handrails and balusters

2) Rebuilding a decorative composite sleeve around the framed posts of the railing to enhance their appearance

3) Once the handrails and balusters are removed, we will clean, stain, and reinstall each piece

4) Power wash the deck floor to remove mold, mildew, dirt, etc

5) Replace the deck skirt board

6) And best of all, removing the old lattice, building a better frame, installing two gates, one on each side of the deck, and installing an new cedar privacy lattices which are 3/4 inches thick.

Exterior Painting

Living in New England has it’s pro’s and con’s, and unfortunately owning a home comes with some baggage. Our spring and summers are hot and humid, and our winters are cold and dry. Last year we had the highest amount of snowfall ever recorded in Massachusetts. Your home needs to be protected, as it is the single biggest investment you will ever have. (And if it’s not, well good for you!)

Back to the point here. You’re home is constantly being bombarded with nature and each season has its enemies. Your best bet is to protect it the best way you can. With today’s paint and stain technologies, the correct prep work, paying attention to every detail, you can protect your home for the next 5-8 years! Who knows, maybe even 10!

For someone who’s been doing it for close to 30 years, I’ve seen it all. Consider having your home looked at by a professional and if you take anything away from this blog, it’s this: think of any exterior painting work as an investment, not an expense.
