Phew, what a project!! The job of exterior painting is not always as simple and easy as it may look at first sight. We at Michael O'Shea Painting have just finished up a great exterior house painting job on the ocean here in East Hampton NY that was more the meets the eye. At the beginning of the job, it seemed like a sweet simple project that would take no time at all. But when the Michael O'Shea Painting crew got on the job, it seems as if it was one hurdle after another. 

First, upon power washing, we found that the landscape bushes and shrubs were placed too close the house. This is actually quite common, and in our experience here in East Hampton New York, we find this problem a lot. Having your bushes and trees planted too close to your home causes mildew and unnecessary rot to the exterior paint and wood on your home. This particular house had fallen victim to this problem and what began as a routine paint job, turned into a carpentry project.  Next, we found that the majority of the lower window casings were rotting too. We were happy to fix the issue, but if more homeowners were aware of the dangers of planting too close to the exterior of their home, it would save them some money in the long run.

On to the next unexpected issue... It seems that the homeowners current property caretaker was in the running for the exterior painting of this home, before they decided to go with us in the end which created some animosity that we were initially unaware of. Oh, what fun that was! For the first week or so, the caretaker followed around our painters asking questions about what the price on the job was, what tools were using, how we got the job...it was very frustrating. And if that was not enough, we had some items "misplaced" not to be seen again. Needless to say, this has never been a problem on any other job site. On one particular day, the caretakers crew even got hostile and threatened some of our workers. It was outrageous!

Third strike your out or third times a charm, the icing on this cake was when the job was all said and done from second floor balcony to garage to pool house, we rehung the last gates at the yard entrance, stepped back to look at a job well done, when on the final walk through of the property, the second gates previous rehung had been chipped and damaged. Man, the homeowners didn't even get a look at the fine Michael O'Shea paint job before something happened. So, back to work we went. 

It was rather rewarding to see how pleased the homeowers were with our expert painting and carpentry work. They said it was a finer job that the original builders had done some years ago. It was even nicer when they included a generous bonus for the outstanding job. They couldn't be happier. We have since signed on the do the entire interior remodeling of their living room and formal dining room, as well as the interior painting as well. It pays to be patient when obstacles arise on a job for a painting contractor. We consider overcoming the tough tasks a success for Michael O'Shea Painting, Inc!
