KING PAINTING & RESTORATION

   "My wife and I have been working with Alan and Heather since we moved to Northampton in 2009. From the moment we met Heather, we felt immediatly comfortable. She is not a "snooty" decortor, but a sweet, helpful professional who took the time to get know us and our tastes first, and then took the time to focus on each and every room with us. She even worked closely with our daughter, who was then 10 years old to help her pick her room color. After receiving Heather's help with the colors, Alan came in and did a perfect job. Alan is very attentive to detail, was on time each day, and finished on time and on budget. Since 2009, we have used Alan and Heather for four other projects, including our kitchen renovation. Heather helped us make beautiful choices for our kitchen, including the countertops, backsplash, cabinets, hardware, upholstery fabric and, of course the color scheme. Why would we use anyone else? They are a great team and a pleasure to work with!" - Florence, MA - Peter and Stacy Duggan

   “Alan King repaired and painted water-damaged walls in our front entry and central hall in the fall of 2014. We have a lot of unpainted 1880’s woodwork that made the job more difficult. The walls he restored are a perfect match with the rest of the walls. The woodwork is still paint-free -- not a drop; not a brush stroke out of place. He was always courteous and considrate - a delight to have around.
   Would we hire him again? I guess you could say we already did. After seeing the quality work Alan did in our common space, one of the individual condo unit owners hired him to do additional work in his own unit. After that work was completed, he was even more pleased.”  Leeds, MA - Pennington Geis, Trustee, Grove Hill Mansion Condominiums

   "Alan painted our entire house, which included lots of repair work to our walls and ceilings, and Heather wallpapered several rooms.  It would be a wild understatement to say that they do good work:  They do PERFECT work.  Two years later, we still marvel at how detail-oriented they were.  In addition, Alan went above and beyond all expectations in mixing custom colors for us, and in working around carpenters who were renovating some of the rooms.  On top of all of this, it was always a pleasure to have them around." - Amherst, MA

"We hired Alan to paint our deep blue home a lovely bright tan.  He is such a nice man, and it was a pleasure to have him around for a couple weeks.  Alan worked constantly, was on time every day, and communicated to us well throughout the project.  His work is meticulous including the carpentry repairs needed on a few sections of the house.  Through this last winter, everything still looks perfect!

"Heather and Alan will offer, both independently or together, a keenly trained aesthetic eye, meticulous artisan skills, respectful ears, and warm hearts. They are an enthusiastic pleasure to work with; will leave your home neat and clean daily; and the result will be rooms that glow and invite compliments. Keep their cards handy as your friends will be asking for them!" - Florence, MA
