Project Description
FR Contractors and Investors, Inc. recently completed a comprehensive exterior house painting and rotten wood repair project in Monkton MD. Over 26 days, our team transformed both the exterior of a horse barn and a large shed, addressing unexpected challenges along the way. We scraped away all loose paint, lightly sanded the surfaces, and replaced significantly more rotted wood than initially anticipated, ultimately delivering a beautifully restored exterior.
Background/Story:
Judy and Randy, owners of a picturesque rural property in Monkton, MD, reached out to us after finding our company on GLSA. From the initial estimate, they felt confident in our expertise and trusted us to handle their project. Their property, which includes a horse barn and a large shed, required extensive work due to severe wood rot that had gone unnoticed for years. What started as a straightforward exterior painting project quickly expanded as we uncovered more rotted wood than expected, ultimately doubling the scope of the project.
Despite the challenges, our team remained committed to delivering exceptional results. We replaced all the rotted boards and battens, fully primed and painted every surface, and ensured that the barn and shed were protected from further damage and looked as good as new.
Scope of Services:
- Exterior Painting: Complete exterior painting of the horse barn and shed, using Sherwin-Williams Exterior Duration Flat for a durable and beautiful finish.
- Rotten Wood Repair: Replaced all rotted wood, including all boards and battens, before priming and painting.
- Surface Preparation: Scraped all loose paint and lightly sanded the entire exterior, including siding and doors.
Project Paints/Products:
- Mad Dog Dura Prime Professional Primer
- Sherwin-Williams Exterior Duration Flat
Results:
The project, which initially started at $16,000, ended up costing $36,000 due to the extensive wood replacement required. Despite the unexpected increase in scope, Judy and Randy were thrilled with the transformation of their property. The barn and shed now stand strong against the elements, with a fresh and durable finish that enhances the beauty of their rural home.
