There are a lot of ways to mix up the appearance of a room. Painting the wall or trim, or updating the wallpaper are some simple adjustments that can be made. Another way to make a large impact in a room is to texture the wall.

The most common of all is the orange peel texture. Orange peel texture looks like small bumps all over the wall, also compared to the appearance of an eggshell. This is popular because it allows you to experiment with texture while keeping the change to the wall minimal.

The other most common texture is the knockdown, which is wider and flatter bumps than the orange peel. This texture helps to reduce the appearance of an imperfections in the drywall, adds dimension to the room, and even absorbs some sound.

If you want to get fancy, you can get a swirl texture, which will create overlapping circles. To outdo the swirl, another drywall texture possibility is the comb. This is similar to the swirl, but wavy, and has more of a 3-D impact than the other textures.

Last week, we worked on a commercial drywall hanging, taping, and floating project in Seattle. We also worked on a residential drywall and interior painting project in Snohomish. We taped and floated out new and existing walls, along with painting the ceiling, walls, and trim.

Maybe you like some of the options above, or maybe you can think of an even more creative design that is even more striking. Whatever you decide on, reach out to us if you would like the interior or exterior – of your house or commercial building – refinished. We look forward to discussing the options for texture!

With the busy schedules that formed as school began, your laundry room is likely put to good use. Clothing for school, sports, and work all add up to create baskets and baskets of laundry. During this time, you may have noticed that the room could use some updating. There are many ways in which you can improve the appearance of your room to help make your time in there a more pleasant experience.

One way to make a large impact is to paint the cabinets a different color. Begin by removing all hardware. Use a stripping agent to eliminate any previous paint layers. After, sand the cabinets to smooth out any dents that have appeared, and to remove any remaining paint. Prime the cabinets before painting and proceed with painting the cabinets.

If you want to go even larger scale than this, you could paint all of the walls. Maybe you want to have all of the walls painted monochrome? Or maybe you want to make a statement with an accent wall, visible right when you walk in? Wallpaper allow for an efficient way to create an eye-catching wall.

Last week, we worked on a commercial interior repaint in Woodinville. We also worked on a residential exterior repaint in Monroe, and an interior drywall taping, finishing, and repainting project in Snohomish.

Once you decide on the change you want in your laundry room, be it an accent wall, cabinets, or even trim, you will want the help of a professional to ensure a beautiful job. If you would like the interior or exterior – of your house or commercial building – refinished, let us know! We are here to make even your laundry a more pleasurable activity.

As the fall weather comes upon us, our exterior window comes to a close. But with this, we have more opportunities to update the interior of your house. If you are wanting to update the interior of your house, there are a ton of options for colors. Where do you even start?

You could begin by looking at the color trends for fall 2020. The general theme is a lot of softer colors. This means that if white is used, it is typically a warmer white. Colors are more subdued. For example, a leafy green will be replaced with a muted minty green. Finally, neutral colors are making a comeback. Tans, brown, and light grays are going to be seen more frequently on interior walls.

Last week, we worked on applying an exterior clear coat protective solution to wood eaves on libraries in Snohomish County. We worked on painting interior office spaces at a commercial project in Woodinville, along with refurbishing a table. We also patched in drywall, taped, finished, and painted a hospital on the Joint Base Lewis-McCord military base.

Once you decide the color that you want to use in your house, we are here to give you the finished product you desire. If you would like the interior or exterior – of your house or commercial building – repainted, let us know! Now is the prefect time to change up the interior of your house before it gets too busy with the upcoming holidays!

Fall is officially here! The 22nd of September marks the beginning of fall, and this means that the leaves will begin to fall, cider will flow, and the wind will blow. As the weather changes, we recommend certain protections be taken in order to protect the exterior of your house. If your paint is chipping or peeling, this indicates that your house may not properly protected from the elements.  
Last week, we finished up our work on a multi-tenant residential exterior repaint in the SeaTac area. We also started on an interior commercial repaint at a mall in Lynwood.

If you are noticing peeling or painting, a new coat of paint will help to seal the siding and protect it from deterioration. If you need the exterior protected in time for fall and winter, or the interior – of your house or commercial building – updated, contact us! We will work to fit you in before there are no more days for exterior painting.

Last week we continued to work on a multi-tenant residential exterior repaint in the SeaTac area.

How are you celebrating Labor Day? Maybe you are hosting a barbecue, attending a parade, camping, or simply enjoying some down time at home. But do you know why we have this day off? Labor Day began as a way to ensure that workers were getting a day off from work, because many workers were on the job seven days a week. Now, we take this day off to celebrate the hard work of those in the past and present.

Last week we continued to work on a multi-tenant residential exterior repaint in the SeaTac area.

At Mink Enterprises, we also celebrate the hard work of our employees. Our employees always produce high quality work and we recognize this.
