Exterior Door



This is an exterior door we installed. Just your average everyday door from the local Home Depot

Cement Driveway (Broom Finish)


This is the broom finish up close of the driveway, just a basic design.
Here is a shot of the entire driveway, it had rained before we shot this photo!
Side view of the driveway!
And, another shot!




And, again!

Door Trim, Chair Rail, Baseboards

Prior to trimming this, I was unsure of how it was going to happen. Once it was complete, it turned out great!

It is a bit blurry, but this is a corner shot of baseboard meeting the trimming of the closet door!







The finished trimming on the door & a little shot of texture prep!


This is a picture of door framing & trim, chair rail & baseboard installed in the dining room!

Walk-in Closet Shelving


I should've shot pictures before the shelves were filled again, but before this (if you can imagine) there were no shelves! I cut, measured & installed them! The 3 shelves in the back, the hanging rods & shelves above, and the smaller shelving unit on the left side at the end!

Here is a close up of the hanging shelf!
And again, the smaller hanging shelf for shirts, skirts or pants!


Here is the right side hanging shelf! And the customers were WAY happy to be able to put there thing away...and that there was enough room to "hang" out!


What'd you do w/ ceiling BEAMS?!


So, the homeowner wanted me to do SOMETHING with these ugly beams that were on the ceiling of their living room...but what? We finally decided to try trimming them!

What we realized once we started was that not only was the ceiling not level, but neither were the beams...so we were going to have some issues!

But, as you can see...it turned out pretty nice! (Or at least compared to how they were originally!)

Here was the little hallway leading from the kitchen to the living room with those ugly beams again! But with the trim, it just spiced things up!



And, from the floor you couldn't even tell how uneven the ceiling & the beams actually are!




Ceiling & Wall Texture


Here is a shot of a nice smooth texture I use for ceilings! Most people prefer smoother textures vs the classic popcorn texture...again, its all up to the customer's preferences!

The ceiling texture, again...up close!
An orange peel texture I use on the walls, the runnier the mix the smaller & smoother the texture!


The mix was more dry, than runny which creates larger specs & more rough than smooth!
