Custom House Painters in Glenwood MD

/ , / , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /

These custom built-in cabinets at this Howard County home turned out amazing! The homeowner in Glenwood, MD hired a contractor to install the build, and afterwards we painted these interior cabinets with an incredible custom paint job. First, we encapsulated the entire room in order to keep paint and overspray off all unpainted surfaces, and then we applied a premium primer to all painted surfaces. Next, we sanded all primed areas, cleaned the cabinets, then applied two coats of a high-grade two-component cabinet paint. After cleaning up, we finished by staining and clear coating the countertop and shelves.

If you live in Glenwood or any of the Western Howard County Communities and you are thinking about hiring a professional company, we would love to be able to tell you why we are the best option. See other interior projects here, or contact us for a free estimate.

A great exterior paint job begins with a good cleaning— cleaning the surface is the first and most important part of the prep process. Each surface is properly prepared prior to painting in order to ensure maximum paint adhesion, and we follow the correct application processes and procedures when applying all coatings, ensuring a durable and even finish. On an exterior surface such as this country home, washing the surface gives a chance to remove all dirt, debris, cobwebs and any mold before painting.

Most full exterior repaints will require a complete wash to ensure a clean surface for painting. Painting Contractors of MD uses a low pressure pressure-washing system and the correct chemical applications to properly clean while protecting wood and other paintable surfaces. High pressure should never be used on wood and other delicate surfaces. Our exterior painting services also include:

  • Complete masking and covering of areas not to be painted (windows, roofs, concrete, landscaping, furniture, decks, patios, etc).
  • Scraping to remove all loose and failing paint.
  • Cutting out and removing all failing caulk, and re-caulking as needed with the highest quality caulk.

Painting Metal Pole Buildings in Glenwood MD

/ , / , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /

If you’re considering painting your metal pole building, you’ve come to the right place and the right company. The first and most important thing to consider when painting a metal building is the coating that’s currently on it— most metal buildings are originally painted in the factory with Polyvinylidene-Fluoride, popularly known by its original trade name Kynar, or PVDF. PVDF resin-based coating or finish, a family which includes Teflon and Halar. Key to these chemicals’ toughness is the bond between carbon and fluoride, the strongest possible polymeric connection.

PVDF resin has a high chalk resistance and gloss retention, as well as stain and chemical resistance. It’s softer than SMPs and polyesters, however, it’s highly formable without having the risk of cracking. PVDF is most durable when it makes up 70 percent of the resin; higher concentrations do not coat well, since the acrylic is important for dispersion during the coating process.

Kynar is an extremely durable coating and acknowledged as the premium resin for coil coatings. However, repainting over this coating comes with some challenges. Virtually no off-the-shelf exterior paints will properly adhere to it. Painting Contractors of MD uses the correct commercial grade primers and products to do the job done right, and make sure the paint job is lasting, and just as good as the original Kynar paint coat!

Painting Contractors of MD had the opportunity to work on this job re-painting this metal pole building in Glenwood, MD.

Brick Rancher Painting in Ellicott City, MD

/ , , / , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /

One of the most cost effective ways to update a brick rancher style home is to paint the exterior brick. It’s a great way to refresh the look of the house without spending a lot of money— whether to update the house to a new look, or to prepare to put your house on the market. We use only the highest quality Sherwin-Williams products to prep and paint the exterior. To see more exterior painting projects from our crew, take a look at some of our projects here. Let’s take a look at what the process looks like from start to finish:

The Painting Contractors of MD process starts with a good cleaning— for this we use a hot water pressure washer and biodegradable and environmentally safe chemicals. We like to use a hot or warm water because it breaks down the dirt and grime resulting in a more thorough clean. Next, we remove the shutters, down spouts, and anything removable that is not being painted. Doors, windows, and shrubs are then covered. The first coat of paint is a Sherwin-Williams Masonry Primer called Loxon, which seals porous masonry surfaces to ensure a uniform look and long-lasting finish. This is followed by two top coats of Duration, another Sherwin-Williams product that uses patented Sherwin Williams PermaLast® technology that uses advanced acrylic co-polymers, so your paint job lasts. Duration also provides a mildew-resistance coating, and requires a minimum number of coats so the job can be finished quickly, with less downtime and disruption outside your home.

The last step is to remove all protective coverings from plants, doors, and windows. Any shutters and drains are re-attached, and the Painting Contractors of MD crew cleans up the job site, so everything looks exactly as it did before, but with a refresh.

Interior Painters in Glenwood, MD

/ , , / , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /

When working on a big home renovation, some General Contractors insist on using “their” painter— usually this is to make sure they make a profit on the painting phase— for example, this interior paint job of the kitchen, dining area and living room area. Unfortunately, the painters General Contractors use are not always the best painters, and this beautiful kitchen ended up with an unprofessional paint job that was sloppy and used inferior products for the paint.

Painting Contractors of MD was hired to come to this house in Howard County, MD, and repaint the rooms, using our signature Sherwin Williams paint. In the photos below, you can see our process, and one of our workers carefully and neatly putting the finishing touches on this coffered ceiling in the kitchen area. As you can see from the photo, Painting Contractors of MD is carefully to drape plastic over areas to keep them free of paint, as well as carefully taping areas for straight, perfect lines. All our equipment and tools— including ladders, buckets, and brushes— are impeccably neat. We strive for professionalism in everything that we do, not just the beautiful finished product, but the entire process. We always make sure to use proper protection of all furniture/ valuables and floors by masking and covering with lightweight plastic and clean drop cloths. Prior to painting, we remove (then reinstall after the painting is finished) all hardware, fixtures, and switch plates to keep everything but the walls paint-free. We also make sure to surface prep prior to paint (including drywall repairs, spot priming, sanding and cleaning of all surfaces). Read more about the Painting Contractors on MD process here.

After transforming the kitchen, the customer was so happy with the progress and end product, the scope of the work grew to include other rooms in the house. See reviews of other happy customers here on our review page, and feel free to leave your own review!

Who are the Best Kitchen Cabinet Painters?

kitchen cabinet refinishing howard county mdretro kitchen cabinet refinishing

We just finished this beautiful retro kitchen in Howard County, MD. As with many houses that pass down through families through multiple generations, there’s a great feeling of nostalgia with new generations wanting to update but keep some of the things they remember as kids growing up in the house. It’s great to be able to keep some of the old while updating the room, like this client who wanted to update the kitchen with a new look while still enjoying some of the original features of the house— including the cabinetry. The solution was to dismantle the existing kitchen, combine the old cabinets with new ones, and give it a uniform paint job to tie it all together. With the final touches of classic hardware and a vintage refrigerator, this kitchen not only turned out amazing but almost gives you the sense of traveling back in time while cooking family dinners!

We use the highest quality products– Sherwin Williams interior paint. Choosing the right paint is a critical step for any painting project— it’s not enough to have great workmanship, you need to have great products as well— products that last. Thanks to today’s modern improved coatings and applicators, your professional project could potentially last up to 10 years (although you might want to refresh the room design before then!). We take great care to protect all unpainted surfaces and thoroughly clean up our work areas at the end of each day. It brings our staff joy and a great sense of pride for a job well done— especially for such an incredible end-product like this modern/retro kitchen! Check out this customer’s review and other reviews below:

“Andy, Christian and team did a tremendous job on our kitchen cabinets. Professional and courteous. Great communication. The last piece of the puzzle to complete our kitchen remodel!” – Chris L.
