Livingroom Painting in Mansfield, MA.


Before painting livingroom - Mansfield, MA.

Interior painting in Mansfield, MA.

There was a lot of wall repair in this room thus the spot priming on the walls and around the fireplace.
All the trim was re-caulked and re-painted with a top-shelf semi-gloss from Benjamin Moore.


after living room walls painted.

As you can see from this image Jcb Painting always caulks the baseboard heater to the wall and paints it the wall color. Unless the customer prefers not to. Most like it painted the wall color.

Bathroom Painters - Foxboro, MA.

Bathroom painting in Foxboro, MA. painting from baseboard to ceiling with the wall color "Kentucky Haze" by Benjamin Moore.

 Gray had been the go-to color for the last few years but that seems to be changing. Maybe because of the pandemic?

Bath Fitters using clear pure silicone caulking.

 

This is what to expect from a Bath Fitter bathroom renovation. They use a pure clear silicone caulk all around that starts to deteriorate in just a few years. It looks good at first. 

As a professional interior painter who paints a lot of bathrooms, I have come across this scenario many times over the years.


When Bath Fitters first apply the pure silicone caulk it looks fine but after a few years, this is what it looks like. Always!

When I have to paint a Bath Fitter bathroom I charge much more because of this. Pure silicone caulk should never be used where there will be paint. PAINT DOES NOT STICK TO IT. "Dap" makes a paintable silicone caulk but Bath Fitters has not heard of it. Unfortunately for the homeowner who has to live with the results and pay more later to have their bathroom repainted

Before painting a Bath Fitter bathroom all the pure silicone caulking has to be removed and re-caulked with paintable caulk. 

Re-moving deteriorating pure silicone caulk is a nightmare. It only comes off in small rubbery pieces. Then when you think you got it all removed and you start painting you find that there is still some leftover that you couldn't see because it is PURE SILICONE CAULKING. Thank-you Bath Fitters. For Nothing!



This is what the homeowners have to look at whenever they sit on the toilet.

Deteriorating pure clear silicone caulking. Nice job Bath Fitters!

Nursery Painting in Berkley, MA.

Before painting nursery in Berkley, MA.
The finish paint job in nursery in Berkley, MA.

 Jcb Painting just finished this nursery room painting in Berkley, MA. last week.

This room was in very poor shape because the previous paint job was obviously painted by a non-professional. The woodwork and walls were hacked-up big time. For instance, hardened paint drips EVERYWHERE! Some people should never attempt interior house painting.



But after a lot of hard work patching, sanding, caulking, etc, etc, Jcb Painting got it done. The new owners of this Berkley home were very happy with the results and have contracted with us to paint the rest of their interior.

bathroom painting in Walpole, MA.

Yes, a lighter wall color in a small room such as this bathroom looks much better than a dark color that makes the room look and feel smaller than it already is, as it was before adding this new color called "calming cream" by Benjamin Moore. After more than 30 years in the paint biz, Jcb Painting has a good idea what colors work best because of extensive experience.

Bathroom painting in Walpole, MA.

Jcb Painting will be painting this bathroom and the rest of this 3 bedroom condo in Walpole MA. This bathroom is very small and to paint it with a dark color just makes it look even smaller. We will be repainting it with a light cream color from Benjamin Moore Paints. Stay tuned.

Painting a 2 story foyer.

This is a video of a 2 story foyer paint job Jcb Painting did in 
Mansfield, MA. We paint a lot of foyers and staircases.

Painting a 2 story foyer is one of the more challenging rooms in a house to paint.

We painted all walls, ceiling, doors, Jambs, and other wood trim with Benjamin Moore paint. 

We used Ultra Spec 500 low sheen on the walls.
gallom - Benjamin Moore -Ultra Spec 500 -low sheen
It is a highly washable wall paint and has great touch up capabilities when you have a lot of traffic (kids) going up and down the stairs.

On all the woodwork, we used Benjamin Moore's Classic Regal semi gloss. The best semi gloss on the market in my opinion. This paint when applied is self leveling and leaves no brush marks for a very smooth finish with just the right shine.
