Southern Home Handyman in Richmond, VA applying Sherwin Williams Sequoia Brown SuperDeck semi-solid watersealant/stain on wood deck in Woodland Heights

Finished Wood Deck

Application of Sherwin Williams Super Deck sealant 

to wood deck.

The process of returning a wood deck to its beauty, depends on good application techniques, and using a high-quality and trusted water sealant that provides a dependable finish that will last for a minimum of three years. Deck water sealants are many and varied. Using Deck Sealants that have proven durability is important for our company. We do not want to have to return to a customer's home to repair and reclean wood that looks terrible in a short period of time. 

This Sherwin Williams product, the Semi-solid water sealant, SuperDeck, has proven to be a very reliable water-sealant/ stain. We love the look of the product on a deck the day it is put down, and three years later, the wood looks worn, but only moderately.

If you do not clean and seal your wood deck yourself, please give us a call, (804)585-8016. Or, text us a picture at the above number.

This was a fun project, restoring the beauty of the walls in a Victorian-style Quadraplex in Richmond, Virginia's Fan District. This distinctive four-apartment, Quadraplex has beautiful features. We first scraped and primed. Then, we used quick-dry plaster on the walls. We finished with Benjamin Moore Scuff-X product with a matte finish. As you can see, the results were stunning!

                                                      Let the plastering and painting begin!

                                                                     Nasty scraping! 

Walls were old. Over one hundred years! Back then, a cement-like mixture was applied to walls that were covered in thin lathing-boards. After that dried, a plaster was spread over top and then sanded. The process on these types of old homes is the same. Instead of cement, Vermiculite is used over lathing strips to give plaster something to grab hold of. After the Vermiculite dries, a layer of quick-dry plaster is spread over the Vermiculite and after it dries, sanded. This process was used extensively on this old house.

Customer decided to use Benjamin Moore's Scuff-X Paint. A beautiful, and harder finish. This product is perfect to use on homes and in high-trafficed areas.

Painting begins! Cutting-in (a few inches are brushed over the first few inches of wall-space around all of the walls that we are painting, before rolling.

                                                      Now, with some new paint on the walls!

The process was labor intensive, but the results were well worth it! We couldn't be happier with the results. Looking at this old building with it's distinctive trim and moldings, is like looking at a piece of history. At Southern Home Handyman, vintage Victorian-style homes are one of the types of work that we do best. And, we should be pretty good at it, since we have been working on these types of homes since 1987. Fan area homes are in need of constant attention and repair. Southern Home Handyman is here to help you make your older home look beautiful again.

If you ever need the special mudding techniques that we use on old lathing, please give us a call and we can explain the process. Even if you are going to do the work yourself, we can give you guidance on how to get a perfect finish. Or, if you would just like a quote, we are happy to give you one free of charge!

Modern Bathroom with attractive Marble finish and decorative floor, two Shower-heads and Niche.

#Bathroom Remodel in Richmond, Virginia

It started with the vision of a comfortable bathing area with a small bench seat.The client had limited mobility in one of her legs and wanted to be sure to have a grab-bar installed. 

We first removed the older shower and tiles and got the plumbing in place. Then, came Retiling the floors and walls after putting a water-proof barrier below the tiles. Tiling of the bath took about two days, grouting another few hours. And, after finishing the walls, this once boring area looks like a photo-shoot for Better Homes and Gardens! I love the look!

If you have any questions, or want to know more, please leave a comment. This project took about five days to complete from start to finish. Work was performed by www.southernhomedeck.com by Master Tiler, Kevin Cortes. Work was performed in Richmond, Virginia.
