Repainting an Old Home's Interior in Providence, Rhode Island, MA
Our Massachusetts painting contractors at Frank Demore Painting were honored to work on this beautiful older home in Providence, Rhode Island. As you can see, when we work on a project, we make sure everything is covered and protected first. We often find when working on older or historical homes that there's plenty going on underneath the old paneling. It was no different in this case as we found a couple of layers of old wallpaper under the paneling. We got that stripped off well and all the glue cleaned off. Then we found we needed to do a little plaster repair.
Come to find out that there was some previous prep work done wrong on the casing where someone painted over oil based paint but didn't sand, degloss, or prime. So we scraped that defective area down and did it right. Take a look below at the details of this home painting project. It was a lot of work, but well worth the amazing results.
