Some of my time is spent disguising problems with maybe water damage, matching old wall paper you can’t find anymore, chips or old cracks to fix, even art pieces need a lift once in a while. It is a little like being a detective, you have to figure out how many layers you will need to get to the finished surface, figure out the varnish, sometimes the physical the textures. Here are a few examples of this odd part of my job…
