No, then another no, then at the third house a YES! He was an older man. I was 28 at the time. Everybody seemed old. We negotiated the job which was to paint the trim on his one story ranch house for $300. He asked if I'd sand everything first. When I told him I didn't have a sander, he said I could borrow his.
We agreed on an extra $50. That was the beginning of "The Roswell Painting Company". The next summer, I married a Minnesota farm girl, and in time our two blonde haired kids were born. We enjoyed life in the desert, but also longed to return to our Midwestern roots. So, in 1994 we came to Madison. One of the skills I had learned in those early years was hanging wallpaper.

Pete, you're the best! You have a great eye for color and your work is impeccable. I wish all private contractors had the same high standards. Excellent ratings for first impression, promptness, clean, workmanship and absolutely would use your service again. 1960 or 61, Mrs Hedges, my kindergarten teacher gave us paint brushes and coffee cans (yes coffee came in cans then) filled with water.
Madison Brush Works is a full service painting company specializing in occupied residential and commercial repainting. We know what it takes to be clean, careful and considerate while working in or outside of your busy home or office. Scope of work: Floors and furnishings will be protected with clean drop cloths or plastic.
Wallpaper patterns and themes change in popularity like dress lengths and lapel widths. But there is a distinctive beauty, clarity, and richness that no other finish can achieve. For these reasons (and others), wallpaper will always have a place. In the late 1980's and all of the 1990's, the majority of my work was in wallpaper, and happily so.
1. Do nothing and let your deck weather. It will take on a gray barn wood or driftwood look. I have a customer who is a world renowned furniture maker and artist who insists this is the best course of action. His deck is made from an exotic hard wood and doesn't absorb deck stain anyway. Who am I to argue?
When working at my older home, Pete Curtis exhibited the knowledge, skill and care that others might reserve for only new, million dollar properties. I can't think of anything Pete could improve upon. His promptness, consideration and thorough excellent job performance were all above our expectations.
