House Painting Offers A Great Return On Investment. Get Ready Now!!

Sunday, April 8th, 2012

Exterior house painting done properly is probably the single most cost effective action a homeowner can take to preserve and protect their biggest investment, their home. The return on investment of a quality paint job is among the best investments a homeowner can make. Not only does your home look great, but painting increases its marketability and value.

This lovely West Hartford CT home absolutely sparkles after being painted by the pros of Kevin Palmer Painting!

 

Quality house painting offers a great return on investment by increasing a home’s curb appeal. A well maintained properly painted home stands out in a crowd. When people see an expertly painted house, they appreciate that the property has been properly cared for. Regular high level care for a property significantly reduces future maintenance expenses. Costly and time consuming repairs are minimized when a home is well maintained. A great paint job is the perfect way to showcase a home’s loving upkeep and attention to detail.

Pretty as a picture. Kevin Palmer painting was proud to paint this Simsbury CT beauty!

 

When people see a home that needs painting they shy away from further involvement. The thinking is, “if these are the problems I can see, what am I not seeing that will come back to haunt me?” Tom Hanks and The Money Pit come to mind. People appreciate a beautifully painted home and understand that painting usually signifies the home has been regularly and properly maintained.

Attention to detail and exceeding customer expectations. Here Rusty puts the finishing touches of this immaculate Bloomfield CT home.

 

A home in need of painting has greatly diminished value. People are very concerned about the expenses that will be incurred when painting the neglected house, and they move on to the beautifully painted home, perfect for immediate, hassle free occupancy. Just add furniture! Those people who don’t move on usually discount the unpainted house’s value, often far in excess of the actual cost of the necessary house painting.

Kevin Palmer Painting was contracted to paint this lovely Avon CT home. World class service and old world painting skills combined to create magic!

 

When selling a house, one of the first things a Realtor will suggest is a fresh coat of paint. Real estate professionals know that a professionally painted home will “show” better, sell faster, and ultimately close for a higher price. A painted home is much easier to sell because of its appearance and the immediate impression that this is a home well cared for.

Painting this Farmington CT home will preserve its value and enhance its beauty.

 

So if you want to increase your home’s value and add a polished look to your house, consider Kevin Palmer Painting for a free estimate. We have decades of interior and exterior painting experience in West Hartford, CT and the surrounding Farmington Valley towns, and we are only a phone call away.

Spring Painting – Get Ready To Paint Now!!

Spring Painting

Spring is the perfect time of year to start thinking about what needs to be done around the home to keep it in tip top shape. House painting should be at the top of every homeowner’s list.

Painter West Hartford CT: Get a Spring Painting check-up! Perfectly maintained by Kevin Palmer Painting.

A high quality paint job will enhance a property’s curb appeal, increase its market value, and protect a home from the wear and tear caused by Mother Nature.

 

Weather can be unforgiving on a home. Snow, rain, wind, and the harsh effects of the sun all create problems which need attention. At Kevin Palmer Painting we closely examine your home to look for signs of weather related deterioration, and we offer solutions and corrections for these problems.

 

Moisture causes more damage to a house than any other element. As such we pay particular attention to the causes, sources, and solutions to problems created by water.

 

We look closely for wood rot. Oftentimes window frames, door frames, and sills show signs of deterioration. If caught early enough, the skilled painters of Kevin Palmer Painting can dig out the impacted sections and repair the damage with a specially formulated patching compound. More extensive decay, often resulting from deferred maintenance, will require the skills of a carpenter to replace the damaged siding and trim.

Painter Canton, CT: Soon this water damaged window sill will be as good as new courtesy of a little TLC from the house painting professionals of Kevin Palmer Painting.

 

Rotted panels on garage doors are another result of water damage. This type of deterioration is often caused by splash back issues which can be corrected with adequate gutters properly maintained. Kevin Palmer Painting will assist our clients in replacing the damaged overhead door panels and offer solutions regarding gutter and drainage issues.

Painter Simsbury CT: Rob, an expert house painter with Kevin Palmer Painting brings this garage door back to “like new” condition, saving the customer from costly replacement repairs.

 

Areas above roofs, decks, foundations, and landscaping need to be examined closely for signs of problems. Snow sits against the house most winters and rain splashes back onto the siding causing peeling problems and potential damage. Wear and tear of this type is difficult to avoid, but thorough painting at regular intervals will protect the siding and trim from needing to be replaced and drastically reduce long-term maintenance costs.

 

Damage from snow and ice dams and roofs in need of repair and/or replacement are examples of water damage which if detected and corrected early enough can literally save the informed homeowner tens of thousands of dollars. The house painting professionals at Kevin Palmer Painting have decades of experience helping our painting customers recognize these issues and avoid costly repairs.

Painter Avon CT: Careful priming of exposed wood lays the foundation for a beautiful, long-lasting paint job. Rusty works his magic!

 

A qualified painting contractor will also look for signs of mold and mildew as they are precursors of problems to come. Our expert power washing service makes short shrift of mold and mildew issues. Followed by a great paint job with paints containing a mildewcide and fungicide additive, pressure washing will help keep the home looking perfect.

Painter Farmington CT: Mold and mildew are a distant memory after Kevin Palmer Painting power washes this beautiful home.

 

Paint fading inconsistently, poor color retention, excessive chalking, and erosion concerns are all issues that the house painting experts of Kevin Palmer Painting have extensive experience detecting and solving for our customers.

 

We hope you will pick up the phone and call us today. Ask for a spring painting checkup or audit. You will be glad you did, and your home will thank you!

 

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.

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!!

Avon CT Interior Painting: Customer Sends a Thank You!

Avon CT Interior Painting: Why We Appreciate Our Customers & They Appreciate Us!

Kevin Palmer Painting recently completed another interior house painting project in Avon, CT. The work involved a home purchased by a couple who were renovating the interior prior to moving in. Floors were to be refinished, carpets installed, the interior painted, and the entire home was to be transformed.

Commitment to schedule as well as attention to detail and quality workmanship were very important to the couple. In their search for an interior painter with an extensive resume of house painting in Avon, CT, the couple chose Kevin Palmer Painting. We were pleased at our selection as their painting contractor. And as with all our painting customers, our professional painters would make every effort to exceed their high expectations.

The work involved removing wallpaper in a living room and hall and then painting the walls. The painting project also included painting 2 additional rooms which were destined to become the couple’s dens.

The homeowners work during the week but were confident their new home would be safe and secure entrusted to the painters of Kevin Palmer Painting. Rob, Dru, and Wald were the painting experts entrusted to make the homeowner’s dream a reality.

The painters began work by carefully covering all floors and securing and protecting the work areas. Clean drop cloths, canvas runners, and plastic were used to protect the home throughout the process. The wallpaper was stripped, the wallpaper adhesive was thoroughly removed, and then the walls were washed, rinsed, and totally cleaned. The painters then patched all cracks and holes, taped seams and joints, and caulked the trim. After the walls were inspected and any imperfections were addressed, the house painters applied a prime coat of Benjamin Moore interior alkyd primer. The walls were then painted with 2 finish coats of Benjamin Moore eggshell paint.

Kevin Palmer Painting worked with the homeowner in their selection of paint products and sheens, and the resulting finish was gratifying for everyone involved. On completion of this Avon CT interior painting project,  we received the following gratifying email.:

“Dear Kevin,

Thanks so much for doing such a beautiful job within our time constraints! We really love the way our new home looks and feels.  The quality of the work and colors really do make a difference!

Keith and I absolutely love the interior painting done at our new home!! We can’t believe how wonderful it looks! Now it really looks like our place!! 🙂

Unfortunately, we weren’t able to go over during the day to visit, due to our work schedule, but we did go after work, to see the process and the progress.

We are going to make this room into our library. I took these pics with my phone, so color may not be accurate, but it shows the beautiful work and amazing transformation done by your fab staff.   Our thanks to everyone involved.

You’ve been wonderful to work with, and we look forward to working with you again in the future.

Thanks again.

Kind regards,

J. B., Avon, CT”

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 .
