Livingroom Painting in 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.

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.

Re-painting this hallway in North Attleboro, MA.

I removed the border, patched and sanded the walls, re-caulked all the baseboards, and jambs. 

Then painted all trim and doors with a top-shelf semigloss from Benjamin Moore.

Painted the walls a shade of gray called "shoreline" also by Benjamin Moore.

The homeowners were quite pleased.

After

Mold Removal and Painting

 I can't say this enough. Use the bathroom exhaust fan. Let it run for at least 15 minutes after taking a hot steamy shower or bath. If the fan is old, replace it. It's a lot less money to spend than a complete restoration painting job. Mold remediation adds to the cost of painting a bathroom significantly such as this one. And it can be unhealthy.

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.

Prepping living room for painting.

Living room painting with Jcb Painting in the "Grove", Norton, MA.

This job was a pleasure to do as the room was in great shape. All I had to do was paint. It is very rare that this happens. 

There is usually some wall repair and trim caulking to do.

Jcb Painting's new go-to semi-gloss

 Jcb Painting is using this semi-gloss on all interior house painting projects from now on since Benjamin Moore did away with the Regal Classic (Aqua-Glo) semi-gloss, which was the absolute best semi-gloss ever produced. 

It's a mystery why they would do something like that but they did.

Thankfully this Corotech semi-gloss is as good as the Regal Classic. Doesn't dry too quickly like their other semi-gloss products and levels out nicely. 

None of their other semi's comes close IMHO.

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!

R.I.P. Regal Classic Semi-Gloss (333)

For reasons that still boggle the mind, Benjamin Moore has decided to discontinue the best formulated semi-gloss ever made by any paint company anywhere.

I have been using the "Regal Classic" semi-gloss (333), which used to be called "Aqua Glo", for about 40 years. Every time I used it I marveled at how good it covered. It went on by brush like butter. Flowed and leveled out beautifully. And my doors, windows, and trim really did "Glo". Over the years I received many compliments on my finished paint jobs because of this paint.

Benjamin Moore has replaced it with "Regal Select" semi-gloss paint and primer. This paint has none of the characteristics that the "Regal Classic" had. 

This new and "improved" semi-gloss is a thinned-down, quick-drying, just awful replacement for the Regal Classic. And it costs more too. If you can't brush fast, you will have nothing but problems applying it, especially on a warm day. It dries so fast it leaves brush marks. This stuff doesn't have a chance to level out because it starts to set up almost immediately. 

What I used to get done in 2 coats with the Regal Classic is now 3 or 4 coats with the "new and improved" Regal Select and it still doesn't look as good. 

I never, ever, had brush marks using the Regal Classic because of its leveling out characteristic and more open time. The Regal Select does not have these attributes which makes it a poor replacement.

If your spraying, this Regal Select product would work because it dries so fast. But Jcb Painting does mostly re-paints in occupied homes so spraying is usually not an option.

This reminds me of when Coca-Cola changed its formula in 1985. That went over well.:>)

And as for the do-it-yourselfers, good luck trying to do good work with this semi-gloss paint.

Bring back the Regal Classic Benjamin Moore!

Stay Away. Too much money for an inferior product.

 

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. 

Patch, fix and sand the walls.

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