Painting Older Homes in The Annex

Restoring interiors in The Annex requires a deep respect for “Annex Style” Richardsonian Romanesque and Victorian architecture. Unlike modern renovations, these century homes feature original horsehair plaster, hand-carved oak wainscoting, and decorative crown moldings that demand a master’s touch.

  • Traditional Plaster & Lath Repair: We specialize in stabilizing original plaster ceilings and walls. Our traditional repair methods ensure that stress fractures disappear, creating a perfect canvas for our premium interior painting.

  • Safe Lead-Based Paint Management: Given the age of homes on streets like Admiral Road and Lowther Avenue, we follow rigorous HEPA-filtered safety protocols to manage historical paint layers, protecting your family and the home’s air quality.

  • Protection of Historic Wood & Brick: We treat your original hardwood floors and exposed brick with the utmost care. Using heavy-duty shielding and our Festool dustless system, we ensure that our restoration work leaves your home’s character intact and mess-free.

  • Modernizing Heritage Kitchens: We can update your historic home without a full demolition. Our specialized kitchen cabinet painting and refinishing allows you to keep your home’s vintage charm while achieving a factory-new, durable finish.
