Interior painting
in Waterloo
Tall standard trees are magnificent, and also the number-one cause of blocked gutters and stubborn moss. That is why interior painting comes up so often in our schedule in Waterloo.
The context in Waterloo
Why here in particular
What is different in Waterloo is the context: interwar villas, natural slate roofs, dormers and multiple hips. The tall mature trees, handsome as they are, are also the first cause of blocked gutters and persistent moss.
What separates paint that holds from paint that blisters is never the tin. It is the time spent beforehand: filling, sanding, dusting down, primer.
