About Love Painting and Restoration

I have been involved in the painting and repairs of homes in the DC and Northern Virginia area for over 30 years. Although I have a wide variety of finished projects from condos to whole house repaints, my passion is to be present and working at site on every project that I take on.

I enjoy making sure that all of the best preparation and repairs are done before one drop of paint goes on your home.
I have considerable knowledge in the repair and replacement of water and rot damage and all of the proper methods for long-lasting repairs on any project.
Whether it be a historical property or a residential repaint. I look forward to discussing your project.

Restoration

All of the repairs necessary to restore the damaged wood and surfaces on your home back to their original strength and condition. I use a combination of epoxies and hardeners/fillers to save wood or features that are destroyed by rot and water damage. Extensive repairs may require wood replacement or custom fabricating a duplicate piece which I often do on many of my projects.

“Rick Lockhart only applied paint by hand, never with a sprayer. Cristina Jubin (the homeowner) raves about his work and says he never leaves any brush strokes.”
