Project Overview

This house was built well before 1978 and so Lead Safe Painting Practices were used to repaint it.

The cedar shake siding is difficult to prepare and has to be done by hand to remove all the peeling paint.

The house was refinished in a gray, white and black exterior paint scheme.
