GreenWave Solutions Drywall Contracting for Residential Projects

GreenWave Solutions Drywall Contracting Services.

GreenWave Solutions has grown and evolved over the years.  We started doing VOC compliant painting, cool roofs, photo voltaic energy systems, rainwater harvesting and radiant heat barriers.  It turned out that people didn’t care that much about sustainable contracting so we discontinued many of those services.

What survived the recession was our paint contracting division.  Residential painting didn’t just survive, it thrived.  Along with house painting came other painting/coating related services.  One of these service was drywall contracting.

We found that there was a gap in the drywall contracting industry.  The limitation was that they weren’t professional drywall contractors that did small to medium residential drywall projects.  If you needed to drywall entire apartment complex or a new house, you can find lots of contractors.  However, if you only wanted to drywall an unfinished basement or even a few rooms in an unfinished basement, you don’t have many reputable options.

Another void we saw in the drywall industry was that most drywall contractors didn’t offer painting services.  This was most surprising.  As a business person, I didn’t understand why you would hang and finish all the drywall and not offer to prime and paint it, too.  You make more money, duh.  Contractors aren’t known as being the sharpest tool in the van.

We already had the painting part of this equation covered so we started researching and interviewing drywall professionals.  It turned out that some of our crew leaders knew drywall guys so we joined forces.

The outcome was GreenWave Solutions drywall contracting services.  Our drywall contracting is a full service solution from studs to paint.  We hang, tape, sand, finish, prime and paint drywall.  We also install trim, doors, and moulding.

Do you have an unfinished basement and want to make a guest room, office or playroom?  GreenWave Solutions can do this.  Our prices are competitive to other high-end contracting services.

House Painting Contractors in Alpharetta GA

Summer is not officially here according to the equinox, but we’ve past Memorial Day and that means summer in Georgia.  This summer, GreenWave Solutions is going to offer exclusive Alpharetta house painting specials!

Alpharetta, one of Atlanta’s most affluent suburbs, has wide open spaces blanketed with subdivisions full of beautiful homes.  Many of these houses are between 10-20 years old and need the attention of GreenWave Solutions Alpharetta painters.

Exterior house painting is a simple and inexpensive way to preserve and maintain the beauty of your home.  It starts with a thorough pressure washing to remove dirt, debris and other surface contaminants.  After pressure washing, we will perform any carpentry and replace rotten wood or siding.  Then we prepare everything for painting.  This includes caulking gaps and joints, scraping peeling painting, priming bare areas, filling holes and patching imperfections.

Once the house is ready, it time to paint it.  GreenWave Solutions applies exterior coating using professional paint sprayers, just as the manufacturers recommend.  Spraying applies a thicker, smoother coating which translates to a longer lasting job for our clients.  Don’t be fooled by the “we do all work by hand” line.  It may sound good, but machines do better than humans when operated by a skilled professional.

Why do we use bulldozers to move dirt instead of using 300 guys with shovels?

At this point, we are almost done beautifying your home.  We perform quality inspection walk through with our client and project manager.  At this point, we fix any touch ups and tie up all loose ends.

Finally, we clean up and leave our job site how it was when we got there; except of course for the magnificent, freshly painted house.

This isn’t the only way to perform exterior painting in Alpharetta, but it is the way that GreenWave Solutions has a nearly perfect customer satisfaction record.

Our 15% off discount applies to all residential projects costing $1500.00 or more and includes:

How to Remove Stubborn Stipple Texture

As the best painter Sandy Springs has to offer, GreenWave Solutions gets involved in all kinds of cool and challenging projects.  One service that we have had many recent requests for is ceiling smoothing.  This includes both popcorn texture and stipple texture.

As a construction professional, I loathe both of these finishing systems because I know builders use them.  Textured drywall finishes are used to hide shoddy drywall finishes.  Drywall has 6 different levels of finish and here is a brief description of each:

  • Level 0:  Boards simply hung with no tape or mud.
  • Level 1:  Drywall and hung and taped, but the tape isn’t covered with joint compound.  Boards may have unfinished tool damage.
  • Level 2:  Boards hung, tape embedded in joint compound and screw holes are mudded.
  • Level 3:  Boards hung, tape and fastener heads embedded in joint compound, excess joint compound wiped clean.
  • Level 4:  Same as level 3, with two coats of drywall compound on fastener heads, tapes and other imperfections.  Then sand joint compound.
  • Level 5:  Same as level 4 plus a skim coat of joint compound on all drywall and full sanding.

Here is a great detailed explanation of drywall finishing

 

For ceilings and walls with a textured finish, such stipple, popcorn, knockdown or orange peel, you stop at level 3.  You can stop at level 3 because the texture is applied to cover the incomplete drywall finishing.

Typically, popcorn and stipple texture come off from ceilings quite easily.  However, when you run into a stubborn batch of texture, it is going to be a long project.  We ran into this on a project just a few weeks ago.

GreenWave Solutions was contracted to do stipple texture removal on a Alpharetta interior painting project.  After we finished covering walls and floors, the crew began removing the stipple texture.  They did the normal process of applying warm water onto the texture and scraping it off.

It wasn’t coming off without taking the drywall with it.

When I came to the house to check everything out, the first thing that noticed was that the ceilings were badly mangled with paper torn from the gypsum boards.  I told my operations manager, “Dude, Luis and the guys are going to have a long with this.”

After finding the guys through the maze of plastic sheeting, I was greeted with “This stuff doesn’t want to come off, man.”

My project manager, Luis, is as good of a PM there is and an excellent problem solver.  Had already Googled “how to take down ceiling texture” because this was worse than anything we had encountered in our 8 years working together.  He learned that by adding fabric softener to the water, it helps soften the texture compound.

It helped, but not enough.  After 2 days of fighting with this texture, Luis had enough and brought in the heavy artillery.  He went to Sunbelt and rented a commercial drywall sander with a vacuum attachment.  These Porter Cable drywall sanders is what I used to sell to huge drywall outfits to finish hotels and casinos in my days at Sherwin Williams.  My clients used these machines during the construction of places like Atlantis in Bahamas, The Wynn in Vegas, The W and Terminus in Atlanta.

We were using this on a 2500 square foot house.

A month ago, I would have told you using a commercial drywall sander for stipple texture removal was overkill.  Now, I have a new trick up my sleeve.  For less than $100/day, I can outfit my guys with a machine that does 4 hours of work in 20 minutes.

Once we got the ceilings smooth, we painted them and had another happy client.

Although this story has a happy ending, it isn’t all rosy sunshine.  There is no easy short cut to removing textures from walls and ceilings.  It is hard and labor intensive.  You have to have a strong neck to look up at a ceiling and work from a ladder above you head for 5+ days.

If popcorn ceiling texture removal and stipple texture ceiling smoothing doesn’t sound like something fun that you want to do during your free time, call the pros at GreenWave Solutions to do it.

I promise it will be worth money.

Atlanta House Painting Services Inside The Perimeter

GreenWave Solutions, Atlanta’s first green painting company, has been covering the Atlanta area for 8 years.  Atlanta is made up of several neighborhoods whether you are considered Inside The Perimeter (ITP) or Outside The Perimeter (OTP).  To name just a few of the neighborhoods we cover Inside The Perimeter are Buckhead, Inman Park, Grant Park, Ansley Park, Morningside, Vinings and Virginia Highlands.  Our painting services include interior, exterior, residential house painting, deck staining, wood repair and replacement, wallpaper removal, popcorn ceiling texture removal, window replacement and more.

A large portion of homes Inside The Perimeter of Atlanta are older houses and need a little more attention and love than new construction.  Preserving older homes is different from working on houses that have been recently built.  Oftentimes, older homes are better constructed than newer ones, but that does not mean the work and maintenance is easy.  When it comes to paints and coatings, the products that were used are no longer being manufactured or may even be against the law to use.  Also, they can be harmful to our health and the environment.  Some examples are lead paint and asbestos insulation.

Even when older homes don’t have toxic chemicals or carcinogens in their building materials, an experienced professional is required to do work correctly.  Trained painting professionals know how to bridge the gap between the technology of the 1970′s and the 21st century.

30 years ago, using oil based paint on home’s exteriors was a standard practice, but in 2013 that is considered a big no-no.  Over the past decades scientists have learned that alkyd resins chalk, crack, and fade in UV light very fast.  Thanks to technological advances we now have  acrylic resins, which help protect the home longer and are much safer for the environment.

GreenWave Solutions’ painters are able to restore and preserve the beauty of Atlanta’s homes.

Commercial and Residential Drywall Contractors

When a finished interior paint job doesn’t look good, it sparks an age old battle between painters and drywall contractors.  The drywall guys say the painters don’t know how to paint and the painters says the drywall guys didn’t hang and finish the boards well.

Because construction is such a progressive and intelligent industry, rectifying this problem has proved difficult.  In fact, this problem still exists in exceptionally intelligent regions like the South.

How do you solve this conundrum?

Have one contractor be responsible for drywall and painting.  Then no one can blame anyone.  Brilliant!

As one of the few smart painting companies in Atlanta, GreenWave Solutions is ahead of the curve.  We offer professional drywall contracting services to compliment our professional interior painting services.

Disclaimer: The following rant is me venting about loser builders.  I have had several run ins with shady builders and general contractors.

As painters, we understand the frustration of having a professionally done painting project not look as good as it should because of shoddy drywall hanging during construction.  I’m not going to mince any words.  80% of new construction builders are cheap and dishonest.  They cut corners and only care about money.  They only care if their product lasts one year so that they aren’t liable for any warranty work.  That’s why you see so many homes with flat paint and textured ceilings.  These are both tricks that new home builders use to mask mediocre work until the house is sold and they get paid.  Fortunately, the recession put most of these unethical companies out of business.  Now that I got that off of my chest we can get back on topic.

Because I got so tired of painting behind unskilled drywall contractors, I decided that GreenWave Solutions needed to use our same methods of hiring skilled, professional painters to hire drywall contractors.  It worked.  We have some of the best drywall hangers, floaters, and finishers in Atlanta.

What does this mean?

The already high quality work that GreenWave Solutions does has gotten even better.  Now, we are one step closer to perfection and creating an even wider gap between us and our competitors.
