On sunny days, Marco's crew from Jimenez Brothers have been outside getting the place painted & stained. Unfortunately the cedar shingles that were put up a couple months ago had been exposed to the elements, causing water stains over most of the surface. Marco's crew sprayed and scrubbed every shingle with a pre-stain cleaner/sealer prior to shooting the stain we picked. The pre-sealer helped to restore the original color of the cedar, washing out the water stains and preparing the wood to take the stain more evenly.
We chose a stain from Daly's, which has a grey-brown look to it. It changes alot depending on the way sunlight hits it - sometimes it looks grey-blue, sometimes it just looks light brown. We are really happy with the result!
The painters are working on the trim and base color this week, in between rainy days. They expect to be totally finished with painting in the next two weeks.
