Kevin Palmer House Painting Blog

Kevin Palmer Painting was extremely proud to have been selected to paint the exterior of one of the oldest homes in Canton, CT. This antique home is located in the Canton Historic District which consists of approximately 500 acres in the center of Canton, Connecticut. The Canton Center Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. This beautiful home is in a wooded setting nestled against Cherry Brook.

The home is a wonderful example of Greek Revival style architecture. It features exquisite wide-band trim at the cornice line of the roof, entry porches, rectangular transom lights above the front door and sidelights, and an elaborate door surround with pilasters and wonderful detailed trim. There are frieze windows along the roof edge, beautiful columns and molding, and frieze around the roof lines. The home is gorgeous and it was the privilege for the professional painters of Kevin Palmer Painting to restore its natural beauty.

As with every exterior house painting project we undertake, our technicians carefully power washed the home. Power washing removes the mold, mildew, and surface dirt, and readies the house for preparation. The cleansers used in our power wash are all environmentally friendly. Preparation for painting was next on our agenda. Loose paint was carefully removed, exposed surfaces were primed, windows were glazed, caulking and putty were applied, and all debris was contained, collected, and properly discarded. The well-trained house painters of Kevin Palmer Painting as always kept the work site neat and organized throughout the painting process.

Painting preparation and complete priming creates the foundation for a long-lasting, beautiful finish on this historical residence in Canton, CT.

Painting consisted of a 2 coat application of premium grade products. Our house painters worked with the homeowner to reproduce the original colors of the home. Kevin Palmer Painting has decades of experience with paint and stain products from all major manufacturers. Our customers confidently rely on us to select products best suited for their needs. The first coat application was an appropriate primer carefully selected and applied to ensure a sound foundation. The finish coat was then applied to all siding, trim, windows, doors, shutters, porches, and entryways that combine to make such a beautiful home. The products used not only look wonderful but will protect this magnificent home for years to come.

Exquisite trim detail accentuates the beautiful color of this antique home painted by Kevin Palmer Painting.

Being selected to complete the house painting of this residence was an honor for the professional painters of Kevin Palmer Painting. The home is beautiful and unique. The work setting was like having our office in a nature conservancy. The best part, however, of this painting project was working for the owners of this home. They were a pleasure and a delight to work for, and it was our privilege to paint for them.

Not quite finished, but this lovely home already glistens thanks to the painters of Kevin Palmer Painting.
