Exterior Painting of a Landmark Historical Home

Sunday, August 1st, 2010

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.

Doggone!! Those Guys Are Great Painters.

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

Kevin Palmer Painting recently completed another interior painting project under the watchful eyes of 2 discerning pups. The owners of this lovely Simsbury home are working professionals and valued repeat customers who entrusted their home and beloved dogs to our care during the painting project.

Looking forward to the arrival of Kevin Palmer Painting, on time as promised.

This particular interior painting project involved an entertainment room and a lower level family room with built-ins, shelving, and architectural trim that detailed the home’s fine design.

Proper preparation, as always, is a must and the painting professionals of Kevin Palmer Painting carefully and thoroughly went about their tasks. All furniture, carpets, and possessions were carefully covered and protected with clean, soft canvas drop cloths to ensure their safekeeping and protection throughout the painting process. The painters then repaired nail pops, cracks, and repaired any surface imperfections. Caulking of joints and seams was addressed as well as using shellac and stain-kill wherever needed. After cleaning and inspection it was on to the painting.

The painters on this project were Rob and Walt, 2 painting professionals each with decades of interior and exterior painting experience. Kevin Palmer Painting is extremely proud of our skilled, trusted, and reliable professional painters and this team is as good as it gets. The quality of their work is unsurpassed and equaled only by their integrity and dedication to their craft. The skill and attention to detail are obvious:

Paying attention to the smallest of details means another satisfied painting customer.

The final results speak for themselves.

This beautiful Simsbury, CT home glistened and sparkled after receiving a little TLC from Kevin Palmer Painting.

And after the painting professionals of Kevin Palmer Painting had finished, the painters heard both puppies say: “Doggone!! Those Guys Are Great Painters.” Their owners, too, had this to say: “Painting done by Kevin Palmer Painting looks better, lasts longer, and offers the ultimate in beauty and protection.” And that, indeed, is why they are repeat customers.

Interior Painting A Beautiful Historic Home In West Hartford, CT

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

Kevin Palmer Painting recently completed an interior painting project on a beautiful historic home in West Hartford, CT. The clients are repeat customers, and our professional painters were very proud to have been selected to undertake this challenging and rewarding project.

Kevin Palmer Painting was selected to paint this West Hartford Historic Property listed with the National Register of Historic Places.

The project involved painting a beautifully appointed office in a timely manner while paying attention to the smallest of details. The homeowner, a perfectionist with exquisite taste, used historic colors to best highlight the detailed interior trim and molding. Paint color and sheen samples were made for owner review and consideration, and upon approval, the painting experts of Kevin Palmer Painting began to work their magic.

The first step involved complete and thorough painting preparation. The painters carefully covered and protected all areas involved in the restoration. They then undertook preparation including scraping off loose paint, spot priming as needed, caulking, shellacking, patching, sanding, and cleaning using HEPA filtered vacuums. The woodwork was then tack ragged prior to finish painting.

The painters then primed the walls with 2 coats of primer tinted to match the selected finish color. A lining paper was next installed on all walls to achieve a soft textured look and feel sought by the client.

The next step was to apply 2 coats of an oil base finish to the bookcases, windows, doors, trim, and moldings. The office woodwork literally glistened when the painters carefully and meticulously completed this task.

The windows, doors, and trim received 2 coats of a premium grade low-luster oil based paint.

The woodwork glistened with a low-luster finish which enhanced the beauty of the finely detailed trim.

The interior house painting professionals of Kevin Palmer Painting then turned their expertise to applying the finish paint to the walls. Great care and skill was used to cut neat, clean, crisp lines around the trim. The walls then received 2 finish coats of premium matte finish paint.

Cutting around accent trim requires skill, patience, and a steady hand. Kevin Palmer Painting has the best painters in the business.

Rob has the skills and expertise required to make this interior painting project both beautiful and long lasting.

The interior painting professionals of Kevin Palmer Painting were extremely proud of the finished product: a beautiful interior painting project completed to the satisfaction of a discerning customer. The hard work, skill, and craftsmanship evident in the work are why customers say “Painting done by Kevin Palmer Painting looks better, lasts longer, and offers the ultimate in beauty and protection.”

Kevin Palmer Painting has had the pleasure of painting for customers in Avon CT, Bloomfield CT, Canton CT, Farmington CT, Granby CT, Simsbury CT, and West Hartford CT for nearly a half century. Let us help you with your next interior painting project. We have years of experience with everything from living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, foyers, bedrooms, and family rooms.

Selecting the Best Interior Painting Contractor for Your Home in Avon CT, Bloomfield CT, Canton CT, Farmington CT, Granby CT, Simsbury CT, and West Hartford CT.

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

Homeowners desiring the best interior paint job possible are well advised to select a skilled, trusted, experienced, professional painting contractor.

The importance of selecting a professional painter with the proper interior painting skill sets can not be overstated. Skill is necessary to avoid lap marks, skips, and sags when painting bead board, wainscot, crown molding, and decorative trim. Interior painting skills and expertise are needed to paint raised paneled doors and paneling so that the finish product is not just good… it’s perfect. Quality painters must have skill and craftsmanship to draw crisp, clean lines when painting deep-tone interior wall colors. Painting of window sash and detailed interior trim can only be properly done by a skilled painter. Whether it be applying stain and urethane to cabinets and trim or putting the finishing touches on the fireplace mantle, skill is necessary to achieve the best interior painting results.

The interior painting experts at Kevin Palmer Painting painted this home in Simsbury CT.

Most of Kevin Palmer Painting’s interior painting customers are repeat clients and customers referred to us by other customers, decorators, and paint stores.

And as a result we have been entrusted to paint some of the finest homes in West Hartford CT and the Farmington Valley.

Kevin Palmer Painting finished the library of this home in Avon CT with stained panelling and a deep-tone decorative wall finish.

Kevin Palmer Painting has painters who have painted residential interiors in Avon CT, Bloomfield CT, Canton CT, Farmington CT, Simsbury CT, and West Hartford CT for decades.

The Best Application Methods for Interior and Exterior House Painting and Staining

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

Many house painting customers have an interest in painting and staining methods and procedures most suitable for the interior and exterior painting and staining of their homes. As a professional house painting contractor, we welcome the opportunity to educate and inform our clientele. The better informed the client, the more likely they will hire Kevin Palmer Painting for their house painting and staining needs.

An airless spray application in conjunction with trained, accomplished, experienced brush and roller usage is the best way to paint a home or office. An airless sprayer uses a hydraulic pump to move paint from a container, through a tube, into a high-pressure hose, to a spray gun, and, finally, to the surface in need of painting. The spray gun in turn is controlled by the house painter, and the finish product is a result of his experience, skill, knowledge, and technique. It is critical to hire a professional house painter with competence and experience with airless spray equipment.

An airless spray application done by the skilled, trained, and experienced professional house painters of Kevin Palmer Painting ensures proper and recommended levels of protection to all coated surfaces. The properly qualified spray painter is able to paint nooks, cracks, crannies, and areas otherwise impossible to coat. The airless spray application system affords superior penetration into joints and textured surfaces, providing proper coverage and protection to areas impossible to reach with a brush, roller, or pad. The high pressure airless application system utilized by our skilled, trained, and experienced professional painters eliminates brush marks and minimizes lapping marks, providing a beautiful, long-lasting protective finish. Coatings are applied by the expert house painting professionals of Kevin Palmer Painting in strict accordance to manufacturer’s recommendations, and drop clothes and protective coverings are used at all times to protect all areas from paint spillage and overage.

Kevin Palmer Painting has been in the painting business for nearly a half century. Our in-house professional house painters bring decades of interior and exterior painting knowledge and experience to provide our customers with the best paint job possible. Our highly skilled professional painters are dedicated to giving our clients a beautiful paint job with long-lasting protection. We believe “Painting done by Kevin Palmer Painting looks better, lasts longer, and offers the ultimate in beauty and protection.” And in order to provide the ultimate in quality painting, we use airless spray applications to ensure our customers receive the best application available.

Kevin Palmer Painting services the interior painting, exterior painting, house staining, and power washing needs in West Hartford CT and the surrounding Farmington Valley towns of Avon CT, Bloomfield CT, Canton CT, Farmington CT, Granby CT, and Simsbury CT.

Invest in Quality Interior and Exterior House Painting and Staining

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

In difficult economic times it is tempting to use the lowest bid as the determining factor in selecting a painting contractor. However, decisions based on price alone often backfire on you. Exactly what are you getting with that low bid? Homeowners often find out they are getting much less than what they bargained for. Unfortunately, there’s no free lunch.

Every week Kevin Palmer Painting receives calls from homeowners complaining about “that other painter”. It’s more than buyer’s remorse. These unfortunate homeowners are faced with the dilemma of starting over and correcting shoddy work. In order to provide the level of quality and service the discerning consumer expects, the responsible painting contractor must attract and retain top quality painters who are skilled and experienced in their craft. A high quality painting company employs house painters who are skilled, meticulous, honest, respectful, and courteous to customers and fellow workers as well. And a responsible painting company will pay a fair and competitive wage to their valued employees, all the while encouraging and fostering their professional development.

The benefits of this approach to the house painting business are many. Kevin Palmer Painting is able to boast a stable work force that consistently produces the highest quality paint jobs. Our interior house painting and exterior house painting and staining jobs look better, last longer, and offer the ultimate in beauty and protection to our customers’ homes. Our commercial painting customers appreciate our workmanship and engage our services confident that their painting job will be completed professionally, on schedule, and for the written contracted competitive price.

Don’t Postpone Deck Power Washing, Deck Staining, and Deck Preservation

Saturday, June 13th, 2009

In difficult economic times it may seem tempting to delay care and maintenance of your deck and outdoor living spaces. Expenses are high everywhere and your paycheck doesn’t seem to keep pace. Putting off that deck project is easy to rationalize. Yet for most people a home is their largest single asset, and it requires routine annual maintenance to preserve and protect its value.

Power washing of deck floors, deck stairs, and deck railings followed by professional deck staining and refinishing is essential to reduce a homeowner’s long-term maintenance expenses. A properly cared for deck will minimize the need to repair and replace rotted wood and will prolong your deck’s longevity. In addition, a professional house painter’s application of a premium grade deck stain will enhance the beauty of your deck and increase your enjoyment of your deck as well.

The proper choice and application of deck stains and preservatives will best ensure the integrity of your deck’s wood finish. Different woods and different exposures necessitate different coating system requirements. Your house painting professional can help you in this process. With proper annual care there will be less cupping and curling of the deck flooring and deck railing caps. Wood will not split and splinter enabling rain and snow to further deteriorate the deck. And a properly cared for deck will better resist sun damage and deterioration. In West Hartford CT and the surrounding Farmington Valley CT towns where Kevin Palmer Painting does most of its business, the dual problems of rotted, deteriorated wood and mold and mildew growth are much less of a problem with our painting customers who power wash and properly preserve their decks with the correct products annually.

We have had the pleasure of painting for a number of customers in Avon CT, Bloomfield CT, Canton CT, Farmington CT, Granby CT, Simsbury CT, and West Hartford CT whose decks we keep looking new. In fact their decks are an attractive complement to their carefully maintained properties because they have invested in the routine maintenance necessary to properly preserve, protect, and enhance their property values. So don’t delay. Remember that annual deck care will save money in the long run, postponing the need to replace or repair rotted wood.
