Water stains, UV fading, and scratched varnish can mar the appearance of even the highest-quality wood features, leaving them looking…

Appealing interior design comes from the details. The walls, floors, ceilings, and other main surfaces of a home are typically intended as uniform backdrops for more exciting furniture and décor.

The walls were supposed to be paint ready, but upon inspection we found a large number of small nicks and scratches that hadn’t…
If only our exterior house paint was a little more like our skin! Scrapes would heal themselves, and peeling paint would just grow new layers! Unfortunately, peeling or cracking exterior paint will not fix itself, and if left untreated, the problem will only get worse. What should you do about it, then? How do you…
This exterior wood refinish project in Northeast Portland is a great example of restoring a natural wood accent on a modern-era home. The old finish was likely a low-grade exterior polyurethane that was applied at the time of construction. It had little UV protection and was failing as a home exterior. We used HEPA vacuum…
