Description Of Work: Exterior painting project in West Hartford CT

Member Comments:

I am a retired college professor who researched and published articles and books on organizations. I also am a 70 year-old homeowner who needs to think prudently about the cost as well as the quality of any work done on our home. Kevin Palmer and his men earned the highest rank in both categories. Kevin himself is a total professional. He also is a decent human being. His men reflect both of these qualities. As a professional, Kevin devoted more time to carefully estimating the work to be done prior to submitting his estimate than anyone else in the five decades I have owned a home. His men took genuine care and pride in their (and I mean it) work. They spent more time, with real “elbow grease,” scraping, sanding and preparing our house for painting (and its many windows for caulking) than any painters I ever have employed. In comparison, the last crew of just a few years ago merely “dusted” in preparation before they began painting. And a lasting paint job is all about preparation. Kevin’s men, or at least the one’s I met — Charley, Ron, Walter, and Randy — are professionals themselves with decades of work experience as individuals and together. Like Kevin, they too are good and decent men. I know, for being retired, I had a bit more time to get to know them. They all have character, and don’t just care about their work – they genuinely enjoy working with each other, as I did having them around. It could be that a psychologist would call them individually and as a crew, “congruent.” In the area of costs, Kevin’s men power washed the paint on our house, used only the highest quality paint, and even took down an old TV antenna on our roof – and the price I paid still was competitive with other estimates. Organizationally, I’ve never seen a more dedicated or professional group of craftsmen do a better job together than these good men. Kevin deserves honest credit for selecting and maintaining this crew, as these men do for making it up. I never have been more satisfied with any work done on our home. Kevin and his men earned every word in this piece.

 

Company Response:

Thank you very much for selecting Kevin B. Palmer, Inc. for painting services on your lovely home. We are very appreciative and grateful for your referrals and will always do our best to support your confidence in our work.

Due Diligence: Spend Time Now And Avoid Problems Later

Monday, May 9th, 2011

The other day I received an email from an individual wanting an internet painting quote. Her message read as follows: “New room – sheetrocked and taped, paint ready. Ceiling (8ft), sloped to 4′ knee walls, one closet, trim around window doors and baseboard. About 16×20. “

And that was it. The individual wanted to know “the bottom line.”  The potential customer wanted me to quote on this work sight unseen, and was undoubtedly contracting the entire project in this fashion. I declined to quote.

House painting is an investment in a home that, if done correctly, pays long-term dividends and enhances a home’s value and appearance. Or as our customers say, “House painting by Kevin Palmer Painting looks better, lasts longer, and offers the ultimate in beauty and protection.” At Kevin Palmer Painting, we take a synergistic approach to painting, bringing together many different elements to achieve a greater result not obtainable independently.

Kevin Palmer Painting insists on meeting with potential painting clients to discuss their house painting needs. A responsible painter will not simply “leave the price in the mailbox.” There are too many variables needing to be clarified in order to serve a customer’s best interests.

What is the condition of the ceilings and walls? Has the taping been done properly? How will paint sheen affect the finish product? Flat finishes hides a multitude of sins while sheen enhances wash ability. Lighting needs to be considered as it reflects off ceilings and walls. Is paint odor a consideration? Some products contain more VOC’s than others, and paint performance i.e. wash ability, scrub ability, resistance to mold and mildew, resistance to fading, ease of touch-up etc. are all factors which need to be considered and discussed. Who will be doing the work? How long have they been a house painter? How long have the painters worked for your company? Are the painters supervised?

At Kevin Palmer Painting we understand the devil is in the details. The house painters at Kevin Palmer Painting wear booties over their shoes to protect our customer’s floors. Smoking is never permitted; our trained professional painters are punctual, polite, skilled, and hard-working. We take care of our customer’s homes whether carefully covering furniture or making sure the perennial bed against the side of the house is protected.

In fact “the bottom line” is made up of so many variables, it is incumbent on the homeowner to spend time with their painting contractor, review the project, address needs and concerns, and attain a level of comfort insuring that the homeowner and contractor are on the same page.

At Kevin Palmer Painting, we have been servicing the interior painting, exterior painting, house staining, power washing, and low pressure roof cleaning needs of fine homes in West Hartford CT and the surrounding Farmington Valley towns of Avon CT, Bloomfield CT, Canton CT, Farmington CT, Granby CT, and Simsbury CT for nearly a half century. If you are considering investing in the best painting work possible and want to discuss your next residential painting, commercial painting, or power washing project you can reach us at (860) 658-2441 or visit us on the web at www.kevinpalmerpainting.com .

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.  Our professional painters know and appreciate that our customers have choices, and our painters are proud that we have been selected and entrusted to paint their homes. As a result of this quality, experience, and craftsmanship oriented philosophy, most of our business in Simsbury CT, Avon CT, Farmington CT, Bloomfield CT, Canton CT, Granby CT, and West Hartford CT is from referrals and repeat customers.
