Exteriors.
Good preparation is vital — cleaning, sanding, priming, and using weatherproof paints to protect against the elements.
Exterior painting is one of the most rewarding types of work JB takes on. Every property is different, whether it’s stone, brick, or render, but the aim is always the same: a clean, lasting finish that lifts the look of the whole home.
Modern Redbrick House (Nether Poppleton, York). Here, the focus was on modernising the front elevation of a redbrick home. The window frames and detailing were repainted in grey to create contrast with the brick. Access around tight garden edges made this fiddly, but the crisp finish has completely sharpened the look of the property.
Garage & Front Elevation (Nether Poppleton, York). This job included sanding and repainting a large garage door, along with the surrounding woodwork and windows. The black-and-white scheme gives the house a smart, contemporary feel. The size of the garage meant multiple coats were needed for an even finish, but the result is striking and long-lasting.
Stone Cottage Front (Haxby, York). This traditional stone cottage needed a careful refresh around its woodwork. The challenge here was blending new, crisp paintwork with the character of the old stone, without it looking out of place. It took two days of prep and painting, and the result is a bright, tidy frontage that complements the original materials.
