Painting and Repairing a Historic Building in Lynn, MA

Recent­ly we had the oppor­tu­ni­ty to paint the simul­ta­ne­ous­ly friend­ly and cas­tle-like Pond­view Lodge in Lynn, MA. This unique struc­ture, beau­ti­ful­ly wrapped in a his­toric paint scheme, rests right by the water’s edge on a low­er-half made of stone. It cre­ates an ele­gant picture!

A com­plete inte­ri­or and exte­ri­or paint­ing was need­ed, and espe­cial­ly giv­en this time of year, time was of the essence.

Zero-Voc Paint for Win­ter­time Inte­ri­or Painting

This build­ing is spe­cial not only because of its inter­est­ing appear­ance and loca­tion, but also because of what, or rather who, it holds. Pond­view Lodge is a not just a build­ing, but a home for many elder­ly folks. While we are always cau­tious and respect­ful when paint­ing, we were par­tic­u­lar­ly sen­si­tive to the needs of these residents.

With this in mind, we chose a Sher­win Williams zero-VOC paint; an envi­ron­men­tal­ly-friend­ly option that doesn’t car­ry with it the strong smells often asso­ci­at­ed with fresh paint. This allowed us to fin­ish our work right along­side the res­i­dents and staff with no issues whatsoever.

Exte­ri­or Painting

For the exte­ri­or, we worked quick­ly to match the exist­ing, his­toric col­ors; the mis­sion was to total­ly refresh the prop­er­ty, not switch to anoth­er col­or scheme alto­geth­er. We also fin­ished nec­es­sary wood repairs and replace­ment, ensur­ing that the exte­ri­or is strong, stur­dy, and pro­tect­ed as our less-than-friend­ly New Eng­land win­ter begins to arrive.

The prod­ucts we used for the inte­ri­or paint, exte­ri­or paint, and mason­ry are the following:

• Super­paint Exterior
• Wood­scapes
• Pro­Mar 200 zero VOC Eggshell
• DTM Acrylic
• Sher­cryl HP Acrylic Coating
• Lox­on Mason­ry Primer
• H&C Clear Acrylic Mason­ry Sealer

In total, we fin­ished this project in only 4 weeks!
