<title>RETAIL STORE COMMERICAL PAINTERS</title>
<description>    Ok, so summer is here so as&amp;nbsp; a teacher I should be on summer break, right?&amp;nbsp;   When your married to a  commercial painter , it's really not summer break.&amp;nbsp; Today I traveled with Chad so he could get carpool the whole way and so he would have company while painting a Solstice Sunglasses' store.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The retail store had 3 recessed circles in the ceiling which were a burnt orange color, but wanted them to blend in with the rest of the white ceiling.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Once again, my decorative opinions are called into question.&amp;nbsp; Although I like the fact that Chad was paid to paint the circles, I thought the circles looked really good a burnt orange color. They stood out and gave the shop some character, but what do I know, I'm just a teacher. While there, I got to meet the really nice manager, Jason.&amp;nbsp; While Chad painted, Jason and I ...    &#60;br clear="all"></description>

<title>Commercial Handicap handrail painting Orange County</title>
<description> Le Tourneau Painting did a   commercial handicap handrail painting   project in Orange County The painting project consisted of the handicap handrails leading to the main office entrance as well as 2 separate stairway handrails leading to ... well I am not too sure. &amp;nbsp;The handrail was very corroded with rust, luckily just surface rust. &amp;nbsp;It turns out the company had had a sand blasting company come in and remove paint from the concrete walkway. &amp;nbsp;Upon doing this they managed to damage the paint on the handrails and since it was a few months of wet weather, it turned some of the areas to rust. &amp;nbsp;We used a power sander to remove the majority of the paint and rust from the   Commercial handicap handrail  . &amp;nbsp;Once the sanding was completed we applied a rust converter from Jasco which neutralized the rust so it will not spread. &amp;nbsp;This product has to dry for ... &#60;br clear="all"></description>

Castle Metals Aerospace              &amp;nbsp;The   commercial sign painting   project consisted of painting over the existing logos in preparation for the new logos. &amp;nbsp;The company had the original exterior color on file, which made it easy to have the colors match. &amp;nbsp;Although the color had faded slightly, it did not matter as Le Tourneau Painting painted the entire front of the commercial building as well as painting the section on the side where the logo was to go. &amp;nbsp;         There were 3 commercial signs/logos to be painted. &amp;nbsp;The first was to go on the front of the commercial building and be as large as the space allowed for the logo. &amp;nbsp;The second   commercial sign painting &amp;nbsp; was a completely new sign. &amp;nbsp;There was not one from the old company. &amp;nbsp;The new company wanted to be able to see the logo from the other direction. &amp;nbsp;The 3rd painted logo ...     &#60;br clear="all"></description>

<title>Exterior House Painting Placentia CA</title>
<description>  Painting the exterior of one’s house is like giving your house a make-over.     Sometimes you have to do a double take to recognize your own home.     Such as the   Placentia house painting   project Le Tourneau Painting did.     The exterior of the home was a dirty off white color.     Due to the texture of the home, very heavy stucco, dirt collected in the little stucco crevices.     The home just looked dirty and aged.     We at Le Tourneau painting came in and gave the home a much needed make over.     The homeowner didn’t care for thick texture of the stucco on the home so we suggested a darker color to hide it.     The home was painted a dark brown with white trim.     We first power washed the house to give it a good cleaning and thoroughly see what repairs needed to be made prior to painting.     The next day we came back ...  &#60;br clear="all"></description>

<title>Exterior Metal Gate Painting Newport Beach CA</title>
<description>           Recently Le Tourneau Painting was hired to sand and   paint a metal gate and handrail in Newport Beach  , Orange County CA     The Project consisted of sanding down the metal gate and handrail to remove any loose or flaking paint. &amp;nbsp;Once we started on the gate we noticed that the iron piece on the right side was corroded so much that it was crumbling. &amp;nbsp;At this point we had the option to either fill it in with bondo (auto body filler) or cut it off. &amp;nbsp;Given that the other side did not have this piece the decision was made to cut it. &amp;nbsp;The piece removed was the lower 4" of the gate that is&amp;nbsp;attached&amp;nbsp;  to the wall where the gate latches to. &amp;nbsp;The piece did not serve any function and once off it looked much better. &amp;nbsp;There were many areas where the gate had rusted so in order to&amp;nbsp;  neutralize  &amp;nbsp;this we applied a ...      &#60;br clear="all"></description>

<title>Interior Commercial Painting for Verizon Wireless Irvine CA</title>
<description> Interior Commercial Painting for Verizon Wireless Irvine CA      Le Tourneau Painting recently changed some interior colors for Verizon Wireless' Irvine location. &amp;nbsp;The project consisted of changing the paint color of 8 separate sections of drywall from a blue color to red. &amp;nbsp;As some of you may know red is not usually a color that has good coverage..... and on this project is was just that. &amp;nbsp;          &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;           The   interior commercial painting   project was done on night shifts starting at 10pm and ending at 6am to avoid&amp;nbsp;interrupting&amp;nbsp;the staffs regular routines. &amp;nbsp;The first building (4 sections) took 4 coats to cover..... arhh. &amp;nbsp;Unfortunately for Dunn Edwards Paints their "red base" paint that I was told would "almost cover in 1 coat" &amp;nbsp;only took 500% more time and materials to complete. &amp;nbsp;This building took 2 nights to complete. &amp;nbsp;The second night we tried Sherwin Williams&amp;nbsp;comparable&amp;nbsp;product and .... yes you guessed it, same outcome. &amp;nbsp;Given that we ...  &#60;br clear="all"></description>

<title>Painting Kids Rooms in Tustin CA (Peters Canyon)</title>
<description> -The   painting of 2 kids rooms   in Tustin CA. &amp;nbsp;The painting was in both a boys and girls rooms. &amp;nbsp;Both had a different theme or feeling to it.&amp;nbsp; Read below to see what we did.     The painting in the boys room came in 3 stages.&amp;nbsp; First the walls were painted with 2 different color blues.&amp;nbsp; A darker one on bottom and a lighter color blue on top.&amp;nbsp; The idea was to have it look like a comic book scene as the boy was into comics.&amp;nbsp; Superman, batman silver surfer etc.&amp;nbsp; Once the ceiling, walls and trim were painted we then painted the artwork.&amp;nbsp; The artwork took a couple of days to complete and turned out amazing!&amp;nbsp; We first came up with a sketch of the room to show the home owner our take on the project.&amp;nbsp; The home owner gave us the basic idea of what they had in mind and ... &#60;br clear="all"></description>

<title>Interior Commercial Painting Project for Baja Fresh Irvine CA</title>
<description> Baja Fresh Irvine CA Commercial Painting      The Baja Fresh in Irvine got a makeover near the end of 2010. &amp;nbsp;Le Tourneau Painting was hired to change some of interior paint colors to update the paint in the&amp;nbsp;restaurant. &amp;nbsp;The project was done on nights in order to avoid disturbing any customers and was completed in one night.     The   commercial painting   project consisted of removing most of the "vinyl sticker signs" , repairing the walls where the signs pulled the paper off and other miscellaneous   &amp;nbsp;areas where there was damage followed by the primer and painting. &amp;nbsp;The colors were not great for coverage. &amp;nbsp;The green and yellow both took 3 coats to cover... even with a primer coat! &amp;nbsp;This rarely happens, but did twice on this commercial painting project. &amp;nbsp;Typically reds, yellows and oranges are the colors that painters have problems with. &amp;nbsp;Either way, it took an extra coat to achieve complete coverage. &amp;nbsp;(our record ...  &#60;br clear="all"></description>

<title>Painting a babys room in Placentia, Orange County</title>
<description>      Painting our own baby room in Placentia CA                   So over the years I’ve seen my husband (owner of Le Tourneau painting) paint a lot of   baby’s rooms, or nurseries, and I always thought they were adorable.  Decorating a baby’s     room  or nursery was never something I thought about until last summer when we found   out we were having a baby of our own. After the morning sickness settled and the reality   set in, I began to brainstorm what kind of room I wanted for our baby and how I wanted   it painted. I decided to wait until we found out what we were having. Once I found out   a girl was on the way, I then wondered if I wanted it painted girlie or more neutral. I’d seen   many "pinkalicious” rooms and decided that was not for me. Before we found out about   our daughter, her room was going to be ...    &#60;br clear="all"></description>

<title>Decorative Paint Squares on Walls</title>
<description>  One Sunday evening I was dragged to work with my husband.&amp;nbsp; He said it would take "10 minutes", but as I've come to learn, things are not always quick and easy in the painting and decorating trade.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Chad said he was   painting "decorative squares"   on a wall.&amp;nbsp; At first I thought it was an odd request to paint 3 squares on a wall and as we drove to the house I found myself thinking, "what are the squares supposed to be?". When we got to the home it was unoccupied so there were no lights in the room.&amp;nbsp; That was the first obstacle that Chad quickly fixed.&amp;nbsp; He got a light bulb from the car (Who keeps random light bulbs in the car?) and connected it to the wires hanging from the ceiling.&amp;nbsp; Next, Chad got out the sketch from the interior decorator to begin plotting the squares on the ...  &#60;br clear="all"></description>

<title>Commercial Painting for Chery On Top Irvine</title>
<description>   Le Tourneau Painting changes colors for Cherry On Top Irvine      The Cherry On Top in Irvine recently contracted with Le Tourneau Painting to add their corporate colors to the walls.&amp;nbsp; The   commercial painting   project consisted of painting 2 different sections.&amp;nbsp; One in a lighter blue color and the other the red/pick color the company is known for. The   Commercial Painting   Project for Cherry On Top in Irvine went quite smooth despite the warning from the corporate office that the red color took 8 coats to cover in a project in Kansas. &amp;nbsp;I am not sure what product they used or equipment, but it is unfortunate for them. &amp;nbsp;Le Tourneau Painting was able to achieve full coverage in 3 coats. &amp;nbsp;3 coats being the norm for a color like this.         The   commercial painting   project lasted only 1 night and was cleaned up and all the furniture was put back into place with ample ...   &#60;br clear="all"></description>

<title>The correct paint for painting a baby room</title>
<description>  Choosing the correct paint for painting a Baby's Room    As a painting contractor, I of course have a wealth of knowledge on the products I use.&amp;nbsp; When it comes to painting around kids, children, babies, or pregnant mothers, I ONLY use 1 of 2 products.&amp;nbsp; Dunn Edwards Paints carries a product under the name of "Enzo" while Sherwin Williams Carries a similar product called "Harmony".          I have used both lines of paint for   painting baby rooms   and can honestly say that there does not seem to be much difference between the two paint products.&amp;nbsp; The "Harmony" line from Sherwin Williams I used for the first time about 14 months ago and the Enzo from Dunn Edwards about 8 months ago for the first time.&amp;nbsp;   I paint a couple of Nurseries a month and have used both products on multiple occasions.  For my daughters room (she is now 4 and half months) I ... &#60;br clear="all"></description>

<title>Commercial Painting for the L.A. Times Orange County facilities</title>
<description>Painting 2 office locations for the L.A. Times  Facility 1 in Irvine CA Both of these facilities were done back to back between Christmas and New Years 2009.&amp;nbsp; The Irvine facility consisted of painting approximately 6000 sq/ft of wall as well as building a 20' wall 10' high.&amp;nbsp; We built the wall with 2 X 4 construction and proceeded to hang the drywall.&amp;nbsp; After the drywall was hung we taped, primed and painted all the walls.&amp;nbsp; The newly built wall was in the middle of a larger office area which contained 20 to 30 desks.&amp;nbsp; On top of that we painted all the adjoining offices all the same color. This facility was completed a day ahead of schedule.  The Rancho Santa Margarita facility.  This was less painting to do at this facility.&amp;nbsp; Although the amount of pin holes in the walls made the project take almost as long as the other facility.&amp;nbsp; The colors ...&#60;br clear="all"></description>

<title>VINYL DECAL INSTALLATIONS</title>
<description>    Boardwalk Fresh Burgers and Fries recently opened their location in Costa Mesa Ca.&amp;nbsp; The sign company was having problem with finding an   installer for the decals   on the interior of the store.&amp;nbsp; They did some searching and was referred to Le Tourneau Painting.&amp;nbsp; We quickly met them on location and wrote up a proposal, which was accepted on the spot and the next day we started the install.&amp;nbsp; The   installation of the vinyl decal   below the counter went on without any problems.... the larger signs on the sides of the restaurant were an entirely different story.&amp;nbsp; The walls already had a wall covering on it that was painted over with the colors of Boardwalk Fresh Burgers and Fries had a texture on it that consisted of small bumps that were roughly a mm in diameter with spaces between them of about 3 mm.&amp;nbsp; This posed a problem for the  vinyl ...     &#60;br clear="all"></description>

<title>TOP 5 REASONS TO USE LE TOURNEAU PAINTING AS YOUR PRIMARY ORANGE COUNTY PAINTING COMPANY. A 5 PART SERIES. PART 4 OF 5</title>
<description> 4. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  Organized:    Now this one is kind of a cool. &amp;nbsp;Some other painting company’s offer this and some don’t. But this combined with the other reasons we have stated makes us a very strong choice. We leave you extra paint when the job is done. Not only do we leave you extra paint from your project but we leave you descriptions of the paint type, the paint color as well as the manufacturer. We at Le Tourneau Painting call that "The business card”. We know that there are going to be some days when our customers wants to touch something up between the time you need to get the whole project re-painted. We get lots of compliments from our customers for this. Once during a trade show for  orange county painting  contractors we told a paint representative about this practice. He laughed and said we were foolish to give ... &#60;br clear="all"></description>

<description>    3. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  Pride in Quality:       Many painting contractors boast about their quality. The reality is you get what you pay for and in today’s competitive market it’s hard to sell a quality product.&amp;nbsp; At Le Tourneau Painting we take pride in our low turnover of proposals. That’s right you heard us correctly, Le Tourneau Painting doesn’t sell jobs on price, we sell them on exactly what it cost to do the job correctly. Often times this means we lose jobs to other companies that sell on low price and that’s ok. We’re picky painters and we like picky customers. In the last ten years of business we have only walked away from one job. We don’t give up on customers and we don’t give up on quality. By no means does this mean we aren’t competitive, it simply means that when we get a job it is going to be ...    &#60;br clear="all"></description>
