I Say Shop, You Say Garage

Before photo of the outside of a two story country home with faded red siding. Photo of the garage port where new cedar siding had been put up that would need to match everything in the end.

Linda Rand­klev had a couple of build­ings on her pro­perty off Du­buque Road in Marion, that she wanted to have painted in a match­ing color.

There's a smaller build­ing in the back with two over-head garage-style doors and a larger one off the main drive­way with one really big over-head garage-style door.

Whether these build­ings are in fact 'garages' or 'shops' by defi­nition, well, that may be de­batable.



Wash, Dry, Prep, Paint — Repeat!

A photo of Scott riding on the mechanical lift that was used to do the tall side of the house where ladders wouldn't work.

Regard­less of what one may call them, both metal­lic outdoor build­ings were pres­ure-washed with tri-sodium phos­phate to clean off any dirt or chalky coating typical of metal surfaces in a rural lo­cation.

Once the warm June winds dried the surfaces, we fought those very winds to mask off the doors, windows and cement on each build­ing in order to spray them using SuperPaint® Flat Finish by Sherwin-Wil­liams.



Team Effort For The Win

Not afraid to get her hands dirty, Linda took on paint­ing the doors and trim by herself; I never mind working with a cust­omer who wants to do some of the work on their own.

When it was all said and done, both the garage had a fresh new look that matched perfectly.
