Prospect Ave Room Restoration in Montclair




This was another room that was completely skim coated to smooth out the walls and return them to there original beauty. The ceiling in the sun room was repaired and skimmed and all of the woodwork in the sun room was badly water damaged and was mostly stripped and restored. A room with this many great original double hung windows needs a lot of attention to detail when it comes to trim restoration. The french doors are a terrific architectural accent and now that they are painted in a classic semi gloss and have had the hardware rebuffed, you can see what they would have looked like when they were first installed, probably over 100 years ago. The muted gold color contrasts nicely with the off white trim and with all of the light the room gets it becomes very atmospheric. I hope to be posting before pictures very soon for all of these jobs.
