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.

What Makes an Interior House Painting Job Great

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

A great interior house painting project should look beautiful, wear well, and make a home’s interior shine. Viewers of HGTV may mistakenly think there is little for the do-it-yourselfer to be worried about, but the devil is in the details. And the details make all the difference in the world. At Kevin Palmer Painting we pride ourselves on giving each of our interior house painting customers the best paint job possible.

Great paint jobs require information necessary to make the best and most appropriate painting decisions. The process begins by evaluating our customers’ needs and determining the most suitable solution. What room is going to be painted and how is that room going to be used? How will this painting project be integrated with existing rooms in the house? What might be the customer’s future needs for the rooms to be painted? Listening and gathering information helps us advise our clients on appropriate colors, sheens, and products. In addition our painting experience and knowledge enables us to recommend the best paint manufacturers for a specific use. Kevin Palmer Painting has a color expert available for clients who may benefit from a professional color consultation. Color and product samples are made and time is given for our customer’s consideration and approval.

A great paint job requires great painters. This is why Kevin Palmer Painting is the best. Our courteous, trained, and reliable professional painters treat our customer’s homes as if they were their own. Booties are used over footwear to protect floors, furniture is covered and protected, and areas to be painted are segmented to reduce wear-and-tear.

Proper preparation before painting is an absolute necessity to achieve a great paint job. At Kevin Palmer Painting we prepare all areas to receive a finish according to the paint manufacturer’s specifications. Sanding interior woodwork, patching open holes and cracks, taping sheetrock seams, puttying trim, caulking, cleaning, and tack ragging are all part of a proper preparation process. Next, the painting itself: Crisp, clean lines must be drawn on all ceilings, walls, windows, doors, and trim. Coverage and sheen must be uniformly perfect. No misses, skips, spills, smudges, or holidays are acceptable. Finally… inspect, attend to finish details, clean-up, and review the completed interior painting with our customer before leaving our client’s home in perfect condition. This process is what makes a great paint job, and why Kevin Palmer Painting receives most of our business from repeat and referred customers.

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.
