Interior and exterior painting for Richmond village homes, new subdivisions and rural properties along the Jock River.
Painting in Richmond
Richmond is one of the oldest communities in the region, founded in 1818 on the Jock River, and it shows in the mix of homes: older village houses along the main streets, newer subdivisions on the edges, and rural properties out toward Munster and Ashton.
Older village homes bring wood siding, painted brick, plaster and many layers of old paint, sometimes including lead. They need patient prep and the right coatings: breathable finishes on masonry, bonding primers over old oil paint, and lead-safe practices where testing calls for it.
In the newer subdivisions, the work is mostly interior: first repaints over builder paint, settling repairs, and cabinets and trim. Rural properties often add barns, sheds and outbuildings, which we can quote alongside the house.
