Preserve the character. Protect the surface.

Historic painting is not the same as repainting a newer house. Older coatings, detailed woodwork, previous repairs and preservation goals all affect how the surface should be prepared. Pascavage Painting has experience with older and historic properties in the Honesdale and Hawley area and approaches the work with the goal of protecting the building without erasing the character that makes it recognizable.

Lead-safe and preservation-minded preparation

Older properties may contain lead-based coatings or fragile original materials. Preparation has to be controlled and appropriate for the building. The objective is to remove failed material, stabilize what can remain, repair where practical and build a compatible coating system.

Community restoration work featured by WNEP

Pascavage Painting's local community work has included a donated makeover connected to a historical society property in the Hawley area. WNEP covered the historical society makeover, providing an independent local-news reference to the project.

Historic exterior and interior painting

Projects may include siding, trim, doors, detailed woodwork, porches and interior surfaces. We assess what is failing, what should be preserved and what coating approach makes sense for the specific substrate. For non-historic homes, see our exterior painting and interior painting services.
