Exterior Painting of a Landmark Historical Home

Sunday, August 1st, 2010

Kevin Palmer Painting was extremely proud to have been selected to paint the exterior of one of the oldest homes in Canton, CT. This antique home is located in the Canton Historic District which consists of approximately 500 acres in the center of Canton, Connecticut. The Canton Center Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. This beautiful home is in a wooded setting nestled against Cherry Brook.

The home is a wonderful example of Greek Revival style architecture. It features exquisite wide-band trim at the cornice line of the roof, entry porches, rectangular transom lights above the front door and sidelights, and an elaborate door surround with pilasters and wonderful detailed trim. There are frieze windows along the roof edge, beautiful columns and molding, and frieze around the roof lines. The home is gorgeous and it was the privilege for the professional painters of Kevin Palmer Painting to restore its natural beauty.

As with every exterior house painting project we undertake, our technicians carefully power washed the home. Power washing removes the mold, mildew, and surface dirt, and readies the house for preparation. The cleansers used in our power wash are all environmentally friendly. Preparation for painting was next on our agenda. Loose paint was carefully removed, exposed surfaces were primed, windows were glazed, caulking and putty were applied, and all debris was contained, collected, and properly discarded. The well-trained house painters of Kevin Palmer Painting as always kept the work site neat and organized throughout the painting process.

Painting preparation and complete priming creates the foundation for a long-lasting, beautiful finish on this historical residence in Canton, CT.

Painting consisted of a 2 coat application of premium grade products. Our house painters worked with the homeowner to reproduce the original colors of the home. Kevin Palmer Painting has decades of experience with paint and stain products from all major manufacturers. Our customers confidently rely on us to select products best suited for their needs. The first coat application was an appropriate primer carefully selected and applied to ensure a sound foundation. The finish coat was then applied to all siding, trim, windows, doors, shutters, porches, and entryways that combine to make such a beautiful home. The products used not only look wonderful but will protect this magnificent home for years to come.

Exquisite trim detail accentuates the beautiful color of this antique home painted by Kevin Palmer Painting.

The work setting was like having our office in a nature conservancy. The best part, however, of this painting project was working for the owners of this home. They were a pleasure and a delight to work for, and it was our privilege to paint for them.

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.

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.

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.

The windows, doors, and trim received 2 coats of a premium grade low-luster oil based paint.

The woodwork glistened with a low-luster finish which enhanced the beauty of the finely detailed trim.

Selecting the Best Interior Painting Contractor for Your Home in Avon CT, Bloomfield CT, Canton CT, Farmington CT, Granby CT, Simsbury CT, and West Hartford CT.

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

Homeowners desiring the best interior paint job possible are well advised to select a skilled, trusted, experienced, professional painting contractor.

The importance of selecting a professional painter with the proper interior painting skill sets can not be overstated. Skill is necessary to avoid lap marks, skips, and sags when painting bead board, wainscot, crown molding, and decorative trim.  Interior painting skills and expertise are needed to paint raised paneled doors and paneling so that the finish product is not just good… it’s perfect.   Quality painters must have skill and craftsmanship to draw crisp, clean lines when painting deep-tone interior wall colors. Painting of window sash and detailed interior trim can only be properly done by a skilled painter. Whether it be applying stain and urethane to cabinets and trim or putting the finishing touches on the fireplace mantle, skill is necessary to achieve the best interior painting results.
