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.

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”

The room awaits the TLC about to begin!

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 .

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

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

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

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.
