Elliott Mazur Painting and Wallpapering

I learned how to paint in the early 70's from a 50 year professional at the end of his career. And while we no longer use white lead, turpentine, and linseed oil to make our paints on the job, he instilled in me a sense of pride and craftmanship that, unfortunately, is somewhat lacking today. I've deliberately stayed small so I do only one job at a time with my crew. I am the only person you will deal with and often I'm on the job working with my men. I learned my trade in Ann Arbor Michigan, where we have lots of old, wood-framed houses, needing extra TLC. For the exterior, I use slow-dry, penetrating, true oil-based primer on that old, weather-beaten wood. I use linseed oil on wooden sash prior to applying new putty for longer life. I use a two-part epoxy liquid and a two part epoxy filler for areas that are rotted. I've saved many window sills and rotted beams Interior, I still use oil-based enamel for kitchen, bath, and trim or "green" paints if that's your option.
