We Paint Mansions

Tuesday, June 6th, 2017

Kevin Palmer Painting has provided interior and exterior professional painting services to residential and commercial customers for over 50 years.

Looking back upon our company’s growth and evolution, it is with a great sense of pride of accomplishment and acknowledgment and appreciation of our good fortune that we look to the future.

When Kevin Palmer Painting began business in the 1960s, oil-based paints were the gold standard, solid body stains were rarely used, and airless spray applications were unheard of.

The first home we painted was our parents’ home in Simsbury Connecticut. Our father purchased Sears Best Weather Beater paint, provided the brushes and drop cloths, and just like that, we were in business! Our mother was a perfectionist and was skeptical at best.

The house took longer to paint than we ever imagined, but we certainly learned a lot. Painting our parents’ home taught us the importance of preparation work, the need to be knowledgeable about paint products and tool usage, and an appreciation for the importance and necessity of doing quality work. We had to please our (scared to death) mom who envisioned a disaster of epic proportions.

Our hard work paid off. The job was a success! Our parent’s neighbors noticed our hard work and their beautifully painted home, and soon we were receiving calls from others to paint their homes. Our prices were fair, the quality of our work was excellent, and over time we developed a reputation for providing a superior paint job and long-lasting value.

As time progressed and our painting business grew, we needed to hire additional painters. We always hired the best persons possible and our choice of quality individuals was key to our growth and success. We trained our painters using best practices, taught everyone to pay attention to detail, and insisted that the job site always be kept neat. Our painters, some of whom have been with us for over 30 years, have been the key to our success. To a person, our painters are highly skilled, professional, honest, and very nice people.

Over the years we’ve had the good fortune of painting over 5000 houses in the West Hartford Connecticut and Farmington Valley towns. We have had the opportunity to paint some of the most beautiful properties in the area. The name Kevin Palmer Painting has become synonymous with quality work. We have painted small houses, large houses, and everything in between.

One day a potential customer introduced himself to us and remarked “I know you guys! You paint mansions!” Recognizing the sincerity of the person’s words it was not lost on us how we had established our reputation. We developed our painting and pressure washing business reputation by providing the best quality work, combined with excellent service, for the most demanding and discriminating customers in our community. By treating everyone’s home with the utmost care and recognizing that everyone’s home is their mansion, Kevin Palmer Painting has prospered.

We hope you will consider Kevin Palmer Painting for your next painting or pressure washing project. We proudly service the interior and exterior painting and pressure washing needs for customers in Avon CT, Bloomfield CT, Canton CT, Farmington CT, Granby CT, Simsbury CT, and West Hartford CT.

A Beautiful Avon CT House Painting Project, Successfully Completed

Kevin Palmer Painting recently finished the exterior painting of a gentleman’s estate in Avon, CT. The owner of this beautiful property is a successful businessman who has entrusted the painting professionals of Kevin B. Palmer, Inc. with his painting requirements for four decades. In fact the quality of our painting workmanship and superior customer service has led to extensive additional painting projects for family members, neighbors, friends, and business associates. Being the best at your profession and exceeding high expectations have their rewards!

Avon CT house painting

This Avon estate receives regular TLC from the master house painters of Kevin Palmer Painting.

We have painted this home numerous times over the past 40 years. Each time we face a different set of challenges. Paint and stain manufacturers have evolving products designed to meet ever changing environmental mandates. Kevin Palmer Painting prides itself with product knowledge which enables us to use paints and stains which best suit our customer’s needs.

 

We only use the best quality paints and stains from proven manufacturers Benjamin Moore, Glidden, and Sherwin Williams. From these manufacturers we select paints and stains which meet our exacting requirements. Color retention, adhesion, resistance to cracking & blistering, mildew resistance, resistance to erosion, and the adverse effects of the sun and elements are concerns we address when selecting the best paint for our painting clientele.

 

And of course the color selected by our customer will be matched exactly. Actual brush-out samples are made for customer consideration and approval. Kevin Palmer Painting has numerous painting resources to further assist our customers including custom color matching, color palettes on demand, virtual paint color selection from the comfort of your home, and even decorator assistance from a skilled trained colorist.

Avon CT House Painting by Painting Experts

Avon CT House Painting: Careful attention to detail is visible from every angle!

This project also involved a rather unique dilemma: How do you power wash a home with newly installed self-cleaning windows without damaging the glass coating? The homeowner had a friend whose windows were ruined ($30,000. worth of damage) by a contractor who destroyed the unique film coating on the glass. Kevin Palmer Painting was aware of the potential for problems and developed a power washing protocol which successfully removed mold and mildew from the home’s exterior without any damage to the windows. Problem solved!

Over 60 years experience between these 2 professional house painters at Kevin Palmer Painting! Why trust anyone else?

Next we carefully prepared the home for painting and applied 2 coats of premium grade paint products to the exterior of the home. The result speaks for itself: PERFECTION!!

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.

Paint Your Home Regularly, and Let It Work for You

Sunday, April 17th, 2011

Every spring Kevin Palmer Painting receives a flurry of calls from homeowners anxious to market their homes.  Their Realtor has advised them to paint their house because interior and exterior painting will maximize their return on investment. The homeowners want their homes painted immediately and presentable for selling as soon as possible.

House painting has proven to be a significant way to maximize the value of a home. And while house painting is probably the best single way to enhance a home’s value, it is ironic that the homeowner will not get to enjoy the satisfaction and beauty of living in the house they are now hurriedly trying to spruce up and sell.

Paint your home regularly! Kevin Palmer Painting keeps this Farmington CT home in picture perfect condition.

A better solution is to paint your home on a regular basis. Exterior painting every four to seven years will insure that a home is properly protected and maintained. Prospective home buyers certainly notice which properties are painted and maintained, and if they don’t, their house inspector surely will. A regularly painted home, power washed, properly prepared, and professionally painted will keep a property looking its best, and the cost per year will be minimized.

Paint Your Home Regularly & Avoid Costly Repairs

This gorgeous Avon, CT home is maintained to perfection by the house painting professionals at Kevin Palmer Painting.

Deferring painting and staining is a costly proposition in the long run. The work eventually will need to be done, and the cost of expensive carpentry repairs, window and door replacements, and deck rebuilding is added to the bill. In addition, a neglected home can rarely be brought to the standards of a regularly maintained home. There are too many costly repairs that need to be completed and oftentimes that means rebuilding and retrofitting to match the existing, an expensive alternative. When the increased costs are added to the bill, it is easy to appreciate that the least expensive way to protect and maintain a home and its value is by professionally painting on a regular basis.

Attention to detail and exceptional customer service make Kevin Palmer Painting the #1 choice of West Hartford, CT and Farmington Valley homeowners seeking the best in interior and exterior house painting services.

Kevin Palmer Painting regularly services 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.

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.

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.
