Spray Painting Doors in Massachusetts.

 It's a nice change in routine when doing an interior painting job in Norton, MA. from baseboard to ceiling and the carpet is being replaced. Which allows me to spray the doors, saving me a lot of time and effort. Resulting in making more money by the hour. Yes.

Jcb Painting's New Go To Semi-Gloss


 Jcb Painting found this new semi-gloss, Benjamin Moore's Corotech (v341). A straight semi-gloss and NOT a "paint and primer".

Benjamin Moore discontinued the Regal Classic (333) which I had used for the last 40 years, it was the absolute best semi-gloss on the market and I was disappointed to see it go.

I tested 6 other semi's and none of them came close to the quality of the Regal Classic. Then I tried this product. It is just about as good as the Regal Classic. Maybe better. 

I'm glad that I can continue to do quality work on my customer's trim, doors, and windows.

Good stuff!

Mansfield Bathroom Painters


This is what happens in your bathroom when you take long hot steamy showers and don't use the ceiling fan. Or you have a ceiling fan that is inadequate to do the job. 



Jcb Painting sees a lot of bathrooms like this. Our plan of attack will be to bleach all the moldy areas, (pretty much the whole bathroom here.) scrape away loose peeling paint, and clean up. 

Caulk around the tub enclosure, 
prime the walls and ceiling with a stain-killing oil-based bonding primer, then
paint the ceiling with white ceiling paint. 

and paint with 2 coats of the customer's color choice. Done.

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.

Painting Prep Work Before Painting.

Interior Paint Job Prep Work That Painting Contractors Don't Talk About. (or Charge for)


When we get a call to come out to a potential interior painting job to look it over and give a quote we never know what we will see, or don't see.

When I arrive I meet the homeowner and we introduce ourselves and we proceed to look at the space to be painted.

Gone are the days of measuring the square footage of the room to be painted with a tape measure and writing it all down on a pad of paper. Today it is digital. I ask if I may snap pictures of the space to be painted from all angles and give the room a good look over with the old eyeballs. I look at the shape of the walls, doors, trim, ceiling and anything else that will need painting.

I look to see how much patching, sanding and other prep work that may be required to do the job professionally.

I talk with the home owner about what I will do, what their time frame is of when they would like the job to begin to make sure I can start, with out any conflicts for other scheduled jobs I have and that it fits their schedule.

When I get home I upload the images I took to give me a fresh perspective on the job that I looked at to be painted and what I remember seeing. It all comes together to help me to give a fair and honest quote. I then send the quote out to the customer, and usually, I'm awarded the paint job.

So the day arrives when I start the job.

First thing we do is move furniture. (refrigerators, stoves, beds, bureaus, dressers, end table  etc.)

Now, most people keep clean and tidy homes, but there are some area's that just don't get cleaned to often. Those area's are under the furniture and appliances. Especially the heavy stuff, like refrigerators, beds, bureaus, and dressers. You never know what it will look like under those things after moving them away from the walls so we have room to paint. It's good to have at least 5 feet between walls and furniture to work.

So we start to move the furniture.

Now the approaching music score from the shower scene in the movie "Psycho" begins to play in my head. 

We start with the bed. Usually the bed has not been moved in a while. It is extremely dusty under there with any number of other things. Like kids toys, snack foods, chips, Doritos's, Cheetos's, candy and wrappers, some chocolates. (people watch a lot of tv in bed today and they like to snack) The list goes on. Some of the things we find, I can't mention here.

Then there is the "other" furniture to move. 

Now the music score from "Jaws" is entering my head. You never know what lies below.

This is a scenario that is played out time after time. But that's OK. It's sort of like that in my home also. Perfectly normal.

That furniture is heavy and who looks under there anyways?

So what do we do? We clean. We pick up all trash, stale food etc. etc. and we then completely vacuum the area clean again.

Sometimes we clean the floor, like under the refrigerator.

This is not part of the quote, we just do it. And we don't tell the customer either so as to not embarrass anyone. Like I said before it is perfectly normal for stuff to collect under heavy furniture. It happens to all of us.

Most customers don't realize that we do this. They think we just paint. We are actually providing another service. The room is always cleaner after we exit.

Good painting contractors will do this cleaning service at no extra charge and never say anything about it.

Not all painting contractors do this. But we do.

Thanks for reading!

Deck and Patio Painting in Norton, MA.

Owner of Jcb Painting power washing deck to clean before painting.
Power washing the deck with an electric power washer. I've never used an electric power washer before and I liked it. No gas or exhaust fumes to smell and  it did the job here quite well. And much less noise. In fact it was super quiet!
