A short video for DIY'ers


Welcome to another edition of the O'Shea Experience!  We're sharing a short video (in high definition) with you today, in hopes that you'll enjoy it, and also perhaps pick up a tidbit or two. It's one of many we've taken to serve as a tutorial to those interested.  You should definitely check out the original Facebook Page where it's posted; Exterior Painting, East Hampton NY.  It's a beautiful Sunday, and if you're like us, you're looking to stay busy and wrap up some projects, whether they're painting, lawn care, tree care, or what ever is on your list.  Thank you for joining us, and we'll see you again soon!

Painting Contractor, Pressure Washing, East Hampton NY, 11937, Painting, Power Washing, Tips, Blog


Welcome to another edition of the O’Shea Experience!  Today the personnel were divided into two teams to accomplish a large volume of work at two locations simultaneously.  Staying adequately hydrated and ensuring that there was enough of the proper equipment at each job site proved essential, and valuable.  Working hard on a hot Friday was a great way to wrap up a week which included driving rain and severe thunder.  Maximizing company resources allowed for both job sites to achieve significant progress in the preparation for the exterior painting that has to be done. 

At both locations, pressure washing has already been done, and at one, there’s a second story to the home which still requires some cleaning to be ready for the sanding stage.  In order to properly pressure wash the second story of the client’s home, we will need to set up our scaffolding and planks, so we can safely reach and work.  We will apply our cleaning solution with a pump sprayer, and then wipe down with a rag.  Using a small pump sprayer to apply the solution enables the work to be done quickly and efficiently, with minimal loss of fluid due to drip or accident.  Once the entire surface has been properly cleaned, then we can go ahead and power-wash the windows and fascia on the second floor and then sand that as well.

At Michael O’Shea & Son Painting, we pride ourselves on being the best at everything we do.  We can meet all of your home maintenance and improvement needs.  Give us a call today!
