Painters in Ridley Park, PA
Ridley Park is one of the boroughs Rankin Painting grew up in, and its Victorian housing shows every shortcut a painter takes.
Rankin Painting is a family-owned painting contractor based in Aldan. Bob Rankin and his son Chris work Ridley Park and the surrounding area, and have since 2010. Licensed, insured, and no subcontractors.
Painting Ridley Park homes
Ridley Park was laid out in the 1870s as a planned community, and the streets around the lake still carry that housing: Queen Anne and late-Victorian homes with deep wraparound porches, decorative bracket work and a great deal of exposed trim. Later blocks fill in with early- and mid-twentieth-century singles and twins.
What that means for the paint
- Wraparound porches take standing water, reflected sun and foot traffic all at once. Porch floors and columns fail long before the body of the house.
- Victorian bracket and spindle work is slow to prepare properly, and it is exactly the detail that makes these houses look cared for or neglected.
- Most of this housing predates 1978, so lead-safe practices apply to any sanding or scraping of original coatings.
