Patching & Enameling

Unlike some modern homes, older homes may have many more instances of enameling present that may need fixing from time to time. Enamel paint is present on much more woodwork and trim within older homes, plus all of the enameling on various sink or bathtub features.

To keep the sophisticated look and extreme protection that the enameling provides on woodwork and porcelain, it’s important you address chips and scratches right away, especially on very forward-facing areas in your home. Whether you are entertaining guests or just taking in the beauty of your own home, having consistent and fully coated enameled paint is paramount to tying in the look of the woodwork, plus other prominent areas of you home.

Benefits of maintaining or patching your enamel

Enamel paint is much more durable than standard paint or wood stain. It can resist more wear and interference with its hardness. Additionally, it can be washed while maintaining its glossy appearance, also in just about any color you would like.

It keeps high-traffic and high-use items in top condition and keeps them easily cleanable. Think kitchen cabinets, stair risers and railings, doors and bathroom vanities. Keeping these items in top shape with enamel paint is important to your home maintaining its classic look and enhancing the look of various areas in your home.

If you don’t already have enamel paint on wood around windows in your bathroom or around a fireplace, now might be the time to consider getting it done in your home. It’s water resistance and heat resistance make it great for intense areas in your home that might require more than just traditional paints or stains in your home.

What are some of the benefits of painting and restoring an older home?

Restoring your old home and refreshing it comes with many benefits. First, you’re making the home in which you live a better place and nicer place to be, both aesthetically and functionally. Second, the honor of preserving a piece of local history means something to a street or neighborhood. A well-preserved “time-capsule” of a beautifully restored home can be the envy of everyone that sees it.

Older, stately homes are in high demand. Given the craftsmanship and durability of these older homes from sound construction techniques when they were new, the charm and lasting nature of these homes are enticing to those who don’t want a pre-fab home that will fall apart thanks to quick work. Restoring an older home will increase its value considering its base-level livability, functionality and beauty are enhanced.
Some of the main issues that can be addressed are removing toxic materials that were once used in building older homes, such as lead-based paint. Other common restoration issues can be fixing foundation issues, water issues with wood rot and deterioration and updated mechanical and electrical equipment + wiring.
