Mildew, Algae, Mold including Nicotine Stained Condo Restoration and Painting

🚧 Before the Paint Comes the Restoration

At first glance, this looked like a condo that just needed fresh paint.

Once we got inside, it became clear that the walls and popcorn ceilings were heavily contaminated with years of yellow staining, smoke residue, and surface buildup. The discoloration throughout the ceilings and upper walls was extensive, and the home also showed signs of mold, mildew, and accumulated allergens from sitting unused.

Our process included:

✅ Thorough cleaning and sanitizing of all paintable surfaces

✅ Treatment to remove mold, mildew, and allergen buildup

✅ Complete application of a shellac stain-blocking primer on every wall and popcorn ceiling to permanently lock in stubborn stains and lingering odors

✅ Professional finish coats throughout the entire condo for a bright, clean, uniform appearance

Painting over stains like these without the proper primer would almost guarantee bleed-through over time. That’s why preparation is the most important part of any restoration project.

The transformation speaks for itself. What was once a dull, stained interior is now a fresh, clean, move-in-ready home.

This project is a perfect example of why professional preparation matters. The shellac primer didn’t just cover the stains—it sealed them so they won’t bleed back through the new paint, giving the homeowner a long-lasting, fresh finish.
