M.E. Construction Inc. was the contractor for this project,
 
they also did all the carpentry work.
 
Mike & his crew  power washed,
 
& replaced any damaged or warped boards & panels.
 
Tony, Frank, Janene & i were the painters on this house,
 
everyone caulked scraped & primed,
 
then we masked off the windows & brick,
 
& Tony sprayed the brown color,
 
which is SW Black Bean.
 
Then we painted the lighter color panels,
 
the lighter color is SW Modest White.
 
 Tom scraped, sanded, & prepped the canopy galvanized pipe.
 
Jeff & Tom power washed the 2nd house,

I always enjoy working with Mike,
 
from M.E. Construction Inc.
 
because his work is as perfect as it can possibly be
 
which makes our job easier
 
& the finished project
 
wow perfect!
 
i painted the galvanized pipe for the canopy with oil base SW Black Bean.
 
The paint we used was Sherwin Williams exterior satin Duration,
 
& Sherwin Williams exterior satin Emerald.
 
The gazebo
 
This is the pool house

the bar top with gloss exterior polyurethane.
 
We worked on these 2 houses & the pool house...
 
most of the summer
 
Thanks Mike! Great job again!
