This classic federal style home is near Sherman Hospital in Elgin at 1011 N. Spring St.
The homeowners were unhappy with the original front stoop, had another carpenter build a new front porch, but were still not quite happy with the results.
When we contracted to paint the home we felt that there was quite a lot
of carpentry
that was
left unfinished
as the
pictures
show. We
thought
the current
carpenter
would be
handling
all the
repairs
to the
home before
we started
painting,
but this
was not
the case,
so our
3 week
painting
job turned
into a
5 week
restoration
instead…very
typical.
We
also provided
the color
consulting
for this project.
This house was painted in 2003 after the front porch was finished.
The homeowner had to do touch-up on the porch in 2009, but now it is 2011
and the house still looks great.
