The Breakers Stables in Newport, RI
NEWPORT, RI
The Breakers Stables
Located approximately a half-mile west of the main Breakers Mansion, on Coggeshall Avenue, are the Breakers Stables. The Stables consist of 26 tie stalls and 2 box stalls with a wooden ceiling above the stalls measuring 25feet x 150 feet (quite a large ceiling!). In 1970 the second floor (above this wooden ceiling) was destroyed by a fire. When we assessed the project we noticed there was a large variety of fire and water damage on the wooden ceiling areas.
Our team was up for the challenge and we prepped the surface by carefully covering all the floors and stalls in this massive space, repairing all damaged wood, sealing the wood with an alcohol-based shellac primer, priming the included areas with a high quality latex primer, and putting a proper finish coat on all of the included ceiling areas. The results were a monumentally dramatic difference which the Stables are going to be able to enjoy for years to come!

Each of these projects were quite an honor to work on. The parties involved trusted our company to do a great job and we did just that. Our ability to be depended upon for such notable and challenging projects should speak volumes to our level of competency and reliability.
