Saturday, October 23rd, 2010

Kevin Palmer Painting is fortunate to have worked for numerous painting customers in Avon, Canton, Farmington, Granby, Simsbury, and West Hartford CT. Here are a few of the many comments and compliments we have received:

This interior painting customer from West Hartford, CT is a repeat customer. She has a lovely home which is meticulously maintained. She required some carpentry renovations in addition to our painting services. It was our pleasure to be of service.

“Dear Kevin. Thank you for a job well done! Rusty was most accommodating, and he, Rob, Wald, and your carpenter were a pleasure to work with. It was so nice to see Rob again, and I am sorry I didn’t get the chance to say Goodbye. I told everyone I’d miss them when they were gone- and I do!! Thanks again.” M.Z., West Hartford, CT

Accommodating people’s busy schedules is very important to everyone. Our painters are always respectful of our customer’s time and property.

“Kevin – Thanks for a very timely and great house painting job. Very nice crew and everything left clean. The neighbors are all saying “Looks great!”” L.M., Simsbury, CT 06070

“Dear Kevin and crew – You did a fantastic job painting our house! Not only did you do it at a time when I really needed you, you were all so nice, receptive and supportive.  The paint job is beautiful, neat, and of skillful quality.  Not only are you great painters, but wonderful people, too. Thank you Kevin!”  K.Z., Simsbury, CT

Our interior and exterior painting customers can rely upon Kevin Palmer Painting to go the extra step – to make every effort to meet and exceed expectations. It is rewarding to receive a letter like this:

“Dear Kevin. Many thanks for a painting job well done. Rusty and the others did great work together during weather that was quite hot and humid. You have a wonderful crew of workers who are very competent, quiet, quick, neat, and friendly. Not many, if any, can equal all that! We are so pleased to see our home once again enhanced by your standards!! I sincerely appreciate your care and concern.’ R.P., Canton, CT

Comments on our work are always appreciated. We work hard to please all of our painting customers. This note was particularly gratifying:

“Kevin and your team of painters – What a magnificent work of art you and your team performed on our home! Many, many thanks! The team you have assembled has no match. They are all true gentlemen, and work together as no other group I have seen in all my, almost 80, years. By the end of the work they were a part of our family and Bobbie and I will miss all of you. The very, very best of health and happiness to you all.” S,S., Simsbury, CT

When customers are at work or away from home, it is absolutely necessary to have honest, trusted, skilled professionals working on their homes. Kevin Palmer Painting has just that. We have absolutely the best painters, anywhere, – no exception.

“Thank you, Kevin.  for the excellent painting work on our home. It was done very professionally. Thank you! Rob made the house look new again!! It was so nice to come home to see our freshly painted house this week. Everything is beautiful! Best wishes to your painting crew.” G.G., West Simsbury, CT

“Kevin, Rusty, Rob, and the entire painting team – Thanks so much for a job well done on the interior painting of my home. I am really pleased with the results… and all my neighbors are impressed too. Hopefully some referrals will be coming your way. All the best.” K.S. West Hartford, CT

Not all jobs are the same. Kevin Palmer painting provides a variety of interior and exterior painting services with 1 goal in mind: We give each and every customer the best paint job possible. It is our aim to make everyone a repeat customer. And we usually succeed.

“Dear Kevin and Rusty – The house painting looks great! We know we can always count on you for a job well done. Thanks again!” S.H., West Hartford, CT

“Kevin – I just want to take a moment to let you know how pleased my wife and I are with the wonderful painting job your company did on our deck and pergola… It came out great! We will definitely use your painting services again in the future.” J.F. Avon, CT

“Dear Kevin – We are thrilled with the exterior painting job you did on our home. We walked around our house tonight and could not believe it was the same place we have been living in for the last 5 years. The house looks new. We have a modest home and we do much of the work ourselves. After attempting to paint our home for the last 2 years, you were able to impeccably match the color we selected and blend the existing paint with a stain. The end result was amazing and the cost very reasonable. We are very relieved not to have to climb a ladder to paint again. Rusty and the painting crew were very conscientious and respectful of our family, including the dogs. Phone calls were made to us immediately to keep us apprised of progress and to make sure we were satisfied. Our calls to you were returned just as promptly. We really appreciated the time, patience, and professionalism you and your crew exemplified throughout the project. We would gladly recommend your services and will exclusively use your painting business in the future.” C.M. West Hartford, CT

“Dear Kevin – John and I are so pleased with the work Rusty and his painters did at our home. They really paid attention to detail and the quality of the painting work really shows. Our 30 year home looks 10 years younger!! Super job, will definitely call you for all painting work in the future!” L.A. Canton, CT

A heartfelt thanks to all our painting customers for the kind words!  We will always do everything possible to hear our customers say “Painting done by Kevin Palmer Painting looks better, lasts longer, and offers the ultimate in beauty and protection.”

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.

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.
