It’s not just exteriors but when it is, they’re high end. There’s plenty of competition at the lower end of the market; lots out there willing to slap another coat on.

I bring a different approach that comes in part from growing up as the son of a carpenter/cabinetmaker who also owned a furniture refinishing shop. I own the tools to remake simple trim pieces and have skilled partners to call on for fancier pieces.

With a background in municipal government of all things, I’m also kind of big on transparency. You’ll know the brand and label of the paint and that’s what you pay for, without markups or mystery. Quotes are detailed, not just “paint gable at…” and I have a personal history with local heritage preservation.

There’s been a quick influx of requests. I work alone through, and attempt to not schedule more than a season ahead (because that leads to corner cutting, and/or stress that robs the joy of what I do.)

I’m a firm believer in wooden windows, and wooden storms; a bit of research will tell you that replacement windows don’t last, are expensive, have a massive footprint and provide no better efficiency than maintained wooden windows (which are also in keeping with the heritage of the home you purchased due to its character.) ask about my experience with sash cord replacement and window maintenance.

I also do some drywall installation, taping and popcorn ceiling removal; and of course I can repair plaster and lathe as well.

I don’t boast of 100% client satisfaction; I would say about 95, with many/most of my clients hiring me repeatedly for various jobs.

But to put it succinctly; in a world of Fords and Kia’s … I aim to sell Ferraris.

Welcome to new followers. I’m a bit humbled by the attention and the recommendations of past clients in Old East. Now onto a smaller gable in Old South that will receive the same kind of attention.

Today is what in baseball is referred to as moving day; some equipment is getting packed up, moved to storage, the next gable is being set up and due to the weather, I’m moving indoors this week to do a popcorn removal and ceiling flattening job with a beautiful wallpaper mural to be installed as well.

Inquiries are always welcome; while my focus is painting, I do offer a rather wide array of related services such as drywalling, trim installation, and refinishing.

Full strip, shingle replacement, window sill replacement, window rehabilitation/reglazing, flashing replaced, all new trim elements made (only the corbels were in any condition to remain,) and a brand new design that’s actually more in-keeping with others in the old east village area. Reduced the size of some of the rosettes to accommodate the “jewelry box” look in the diamond (thanks Simon Thorel for making the “donuts” aka rosettes.)

Thanks to my longtime friend, old Kool’s colleague Geoff Zezulka and his family for giving me artistic license after choosing a stunning palette of Deep Forest Green, North Sea Green and Wickham Grey to break it up a little. Hope you’re all happy for years to come and I look forward to tackling the porch with its historic railing next summer.

The Home is on Charlotte Street if you wish to see it with your own eyes.

What a long strange trip this has been. So far. Some lines to tighten up, fills to paint a window sash to make… from hasn’t been painted in 30 years to “the window won’t fall out of the front wall and it won’t need painting for a very long time.”

Where’s my real estate agent to tell me what value this adds to the home over and above peace of mind, the joy of the beauty and the simple pride of ownership?

Not quite finished but most of the onerous tasks are completed. A new set of wooden storm windows will be recommended but the windows themselves have been freshly puttied and will be caulked closed.

Who’s your painter?

07/30/2026

Just some of my past gables.

They aren’t the cheapest but I’m confident the value they add to your home dwarfs it.

I’m also pretty sure that there’s no way to put a value on the beauty that greets you every day you come home. Or, the piece of mind you get knowing it’s a lasting finish and the knowledge that any maintenance or repainting you might desire in the future would be significantly less … extensive.

The more forgone, covered up with siding or plexiglass… the more I love restoring it.

What you don’t see in the pictures is my own transition from requiring all trim and carpentry to be done by others. The more intricate pieces are still outsourced (until I acquire a lathe, router and a few other things lol and have space) but basic elements and structural repairs I now mill my own lumber and do the work needed.

So… a thanks to everyone who has gotten me here; my dad and my mom (god rest her soul,) Martin Fleckser, all the helpers I’ve ever hired, and most importantly… the benefactors; the clients who trust and pay me to do the work.

I don’t do this to get rich. That would be hopeless. I do it for the public art, for the neighbourhoods, and for my City. We don’t have enough colour and beauty in our daily lives, and particularly not in some areas of the city that are enduring tougher times than others (and the signs of even tougher times for some individuals.) I hope they get some happiness from the beauty too, to be honest.

Looking forward to adding a couple new ones to the pictures above. You’ve seen one in progress and another is quickly following.

07/28/2026

Some more progress pictures as this one starts to come together again. While I do need to make one new window sash, I figured I’d get the old ones back in. One problem; my new sill is 15mm higher than the old one meaning the windows don’t quite line up as they should. Not a big deal in this case. And the new one can be made to fit perfectly on the other side (the last picture shows the state of the old sash.)

Thanks to these and other clients for being extremely patient as I toil away on this one.

07/24/2026

While my approach consumes a fair bit of calendar time, it all leads to a beautiful finish that will last for years to come, and even better, sets up future repaints for a much quicker repaint, whenever that day comes.

Once you start to see caulking, filling, priming and eventually colour on things like reglazed windows, a corner has been turned and the vision for the pattern starts to emerge. On this one it’s “painter’s choice.” For some perhaps a perilous proposition… but I enjoy the freedom to create public art from these beautiful exteriors waiting to be brought to new life. 👷🏼‍♂️👨🏻‍🎨

Progress on the Charlotte Street continued through the week. New shingle installed with a new window sill in place. Lumber for new trim pieces is being dressed, and primed. Sprayer getting some attention today; a thorough clean out of the pump and hoses, now loaded with primer for my neighbours garage project.

07/13/2026

While waiting for aluminum associates to call me and tell me my flashing was ready for pickup, I started to work on the filling and priming of the fascia and soffits and continued to sand around the corbels (tight and ornate is always fun to sand 🤪)

A few rounds of filling, priming and sanding … the turnaround has begun.

Just one guy. Doing it right. My own name on the masthead; a last one one that’s been involved with quality home improvements, renovations, furniture making and refinishing, and heritage restorations in London for 55 years. Plus I actually have been involved with the bureaucratic side of heritage preservation.

One Guy. No buck is passed, no busses roll over people who happen to show up to work on your most valuable asset. No slick salesman who never picks up a brush. No fancy wrapped fleet of vehicles. Most importantly; no corners cut.

Insured up the w***o. Choose the rest, or one of the best.
