Bathroom Painting, Mansfield, MA. 2020

 Bathroom Painting with Jcb Painting in Mansfield, MA. 2020

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.

 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 and the Covid-19

5 weeks ago Jcb Painting was booked up with work into June. Everything has changed. All we can do is stay positive and beat this thing.

We first applied a coat of a bonding primer called "StixBonding Primer".
It bonds to the woodwork to give a good foundation for the final 2
coats using Benjamin Moore Regal Classic semi-gloss.
And the walls were patched, sanded and painted with 2 coats of another shade
of gray.
Jcb Painting is getting more and more calls for this type of paint job.

Jcb Painting cutting in the new color in this dining room.

We got a call from a repeat customer to come to their home to paint the dining room so it would be ready for the Thanksgiving feast. The new wall color was from Sherwin Williams called "privilege green" but made with Benjamin Moore ultra-spec low sheen. They even emptied the room for us! Thank you!

Wall Painting in Attleboro, MA.

Bedroom painting in Attleboro, MA. There was a big crack in the cornerof this bedroom.

The wall paint was a matte finish by Glidden Paints. We like to use Benjamin Moore for paint jobs but the homeowner purchased the paint. It gives Jcb Painting a chance to try out different paints from different paint manufacturers that we ordinarily wouldn't use. The paint was a little thicker than what we are used to though. We got the first cut done in 1 coat but the walls needed a 2nd coat to cover.
