Tedesco Professional Painting

 

We do all types of carpentry work. From molding to repairing decks and soffits and fascias. We also do custom carpentry repair.

 

Here are pictures from a job where birds were getting in though some fascia boards. It looks like the original concrete fell out of the end, and the caulk fell out from underneath due to being put on too thick. Here I already have one new block of wood in place. The end was originally filled with mortar that fell out. Notice the paint on the stones, it was there before I started anything.

 

 

Here is a close up of the end. I could fit my hand through this hole to pull out some of the birds nests. I cut a block of wood to fit on the end, to cover the hole from the mortar. The angle wasn't originally planned. I cut it this way to fit tighter against the stones, so the caulk would not have to fill a large gap. It looks like it was supposed to be like this.

 

 

Here it is after it was filled, primed and caulked. Notice we used gray caulking against the stones instead of white like was originally used in some places. The gray blends in good. It's not even noticable from the ground, unless you knew what you were looking for.

 

 

If you saw the skim coating page already, these pictures are from the first ceiling skim coat job. We removed some beams that that were attached to the ceiling. They were put up before the tongue and groove was, so it left huge holes in the wall.

 

 

These are the 3 peices we removed. You can see they weren't just flat tongue and groove.

 

 

Here are the 3 replacement pieces I made. I gave them one coat of paint that was close to the original ones. To help fill in the "saw marks", and to get closer to matching the finish. The first coat of paint was roughed up a little. The original wood had circular saw cuts into the face of the wood. They were filled with 2 or 3 layers of paint. That is one of the reasons I painted these before installing them. This is one coat of paint. After they were installed and painted like the rest of the room, you couldn't tell which peices were replaced.

 

 

Here are the old ones next to the new ones.

 

 

Here is the finished wall. You can't tell anything was replaced. If you scroll back up to the top picture, you can see that they were all originally installed unevenly, and those three were already painted together.

 

 

Here are some pics from a deck the customer has us make gates for. When They bought the house a few years earlier, the original gates were missing. We had to build new gates from scratch to match the custom railings.

In these pics the top isn't on yet. After the rest of the deck was powerwashed, it was all stained. You couldn't tell that the gates were not built with the rest of the deck.
