Painting Tips

If you’re looking for a Baltimore painting company to service your home or business, you are at the right place. Since 1989 we have honed our craft and trained our painters to follow all the best practices. Besides, our painting crews always have three skilled handymen to take on your honey-do list. We have you covered whether you live in Baltimore City or anywhere in the county.
If you have hired painting or handyman contractors in the past, you know how unreliable and crazy the home service industry can be.
Getting three estimates can mean calling nine contractors, and then the prices are all over the place.
With Klappenberger & Son, you can schedule an estimate at your earliest convenience and get a professionally written proposal at a fair price.
Our prices are based on measurements, not wild guesses.
Our preferred Limewash paint is Romabio. The Classico Limewash is made from slaked-lime paint flat sheen, which gives an authentic white wash look and feel.
Limewashing has become very popular in the Mid-Atlantic areas. It can power washed off easily for two days after it is applied.

Besides painting interior and exterior homes, we also spend a lot of time painting kitchen cabinets. Due to the cost of replacing cabinets, the demand for painting kitchen cabinets in Baltimore has been high.
What separates Klappenberger & Son from other painting contractors is our proven processes. Like a pastry chef, when painting kitchen cabinets, none of the steps can be skipped for the paint to adhere. For example, the first step is to clean the cabinets and remove all grease and oils. The second step is to sand and scuff the surface and then clean again. These steps protect the primer from scratching off.
We have also tested over twelve commonly used cabinet paints to see which ones will last for the long haul.
