The client called Salmon Arm Home Repair for what they originally thought was a quick repair of a “soft spot” in their otherwise great deck. Stewart and his crew went by to take a look, and they discovered the source of the “soft spot”… carpenter ants!

After consultation with Stewart about what their options were and the costs involved, the clients decided … Read More

Before painting wash walls with Trisodium phosphate (TSP) and rinse well. TSP is excellent for removing all types of grease such as kitchen grease, smoke and nicotine residue and oils from fingers. Washing  with TSP also softens the old paint and allows the new paint to bond better with the old.

After you tape off an area with painters tape to get a straight line, go over the edge of the tape again with your finger tip or hard object to firmly press it down.   After painting wait about 30 minutes then remove the tape before the paint completely cures to prevent ripping the new from sticking to the tape. Let me know if my explanation confuses the issue… I am just a phone call away 250-833-9446 (or email)
