Project 01 — Macomb Township

Full exterior:
taupe to black

A two-story home with board-and-batten siding over red brick. Bad boards were cut out and replaced, new trim was fitted, then the whole exterior was washed, masked and coated in a deep black that leaves the brick doing the talking.

The home before painting: worn taupe board-and-batten siding, windows and doors papered off and masked ready for spraying

Project 02 — Macomb County

Charcoal trim
on a brick ranch

Gables, soffits, fascia and window trim taken to a deep charcoal on a red brick ranch. The masking stage tells you most of what you need to know about how a job is going to turn out.

Inside the house

Ceilings, walls, doors and brick. Note the drop cloths and the tape lines — protecting what stays is most of the job.
