It's a rare experience to find a contractor with such care for customer satisfaction. Arturo and his crew were polite, patient, competent, prompt, responsible. They were careful about COVID and about our home- highly recommended!

Arturo provided an estimate and the crew got started quickly. Every day they were on time. I was very impressed with the final paint job and the work ethic of the crew. I feel they went above and beyond my expectations and would hire again. All crew adhered strictly to covid guidelines and wore masks the entire time. Arturo was a pleasure to work with- very reasonable and customer-oriented.

Exterior Painting Services

Painting the outside of your home is a great opportunity to kill 3 birds with one stone (not that anyone would want to kill 3 birds with one stone).

Let’s Get It Right The First Time

First, as we are prepping and painting your house, we look for potential problems like rotten wood and replacing damaged caulk where water can get in and cause real damage.  If your gutters are clogged, we can clean them to ensure the water is properly flowing away from your house.

Secondly, the wood and other substrates will be protected and last much longer with the proper painting applications.  The harsh and changing climate that Howard County faces from season to season requires that your house be properly protected.

Changing Colors?

Finally, your house will make an awesome transformation, especially if you change colors!  Designers often say that painting the exterior of your home is typically the fastest and most dramatic way to improve your home’s look and value.  Even just painting the front door and shutters can have a dramatic effect on your entire house.  We can direct you to what paint colors fade the least and what sheens will look best on your siding and trim.

Power Washing Services

Power washing or pressure washing is not always a simple and safe procedure.  If you are power washing a deck or a fence, it is very tempting to use more pressure than the wood can withstand, causing damage to your deck or fence.  The same can be said for aggressive PSI (pounds per square inch) on the house.  We adopt a different philosophy and methodology to power washing.  Our philosophy is to let the chemicals do the work and not aggressive pressure washing.  The chemicals we use will not damage your plants or grass, and leave the surface ready for the proper application.

Historic Exterior Properties

We have an outstanding group of experienced Howard County painters who have done many historical properties in Ellicott City, Elkridge, and beyond.

Recently we completed work at the Riversdale Mansion, which was built in 1806.

We use the best materials that will last for many years and keep the authenticity of the property.   

For example, first we use the proper glazing, primers, and topcoats of paint that can last upwards of 20 years!

Secondly, we check the moisture content of the wood before applying any painting applications.  This vital step ensures the longevity of the paint and protects our historical treasures.

If your historical property requires restoration work on rotten or chipped wood, we can fill it in and mold it to the original shape using epoxy fillers that expand and contract with the wood.  Call us today and to have our historical restoration expert Arturo Lacayo inspect your historical treasure.

Howard County Interior Painters

There are four main reasons why people want to have their interior home painted:

  1. Selling your home– If you are moving, we understand that you want to freshen up the place to make it sell faster.  We have helped customers achieve this cost-saving agenda by strategically painting in limited and crucial areas on an “as needed” basis.  We also can advise you on the neutral colors that are currently trending.
  2. Buying a home – Congratulations!  Buying a home is certainly exciting and a bit stressful, but now it’s time to turn that house into your home.  This is really where we can help.  Besides advising you on the most washable paints, sheens, and trending colors, we can also take care of that handyman “honey-do” list of things you would like done before moving in.
  3. The interior home needs a fresh coat of paint:  Having a fresh coat of paint applied can lift the spirits and give new energy to an old space.  Perhaps you still like the colors, but it just is time to paint. We can fix those cracks and nail pops and repaint the house as needed.  It is amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do!  Perhaps your ceilings still look great.  Awesome! We can advise you on the least expensive ways to get the look and durability you desire.
  4. The current colors are not inspiring – This is where the fun begins.  Changing the colors in your rooms will have an immediate impact visually and can even your own mood!  Yes, having the perfect color combination(s) in a room can make a world of difference to your enjoyment and wanting to stay in that room.  We have a gallery of fun and inspiring colors for you to check out.  We can also come to your house and help you choose the colors that fit your unique personality.
Baltimore Painting Company painting kitchen cabinets that look amazing

Kitchen Cabinet Painting Services

Are your cabinets or vanities structurally sound but looking a little past their prime?  Having them painted might be the answer.  Having Klappenberger & Son paint your kitchen cabinets cost a fraction of the time and money it would take installing replacements.  When painting kitchen cabinets, the transformation is dramatic!  The durability of the paint we use and our process will amaze you!

We spray your doors and drawers, giving them a showroom finish that a brush and roller can’t match.  We then apply a clear coat that is so tough that we give your kitchen cabinets a 5-year warranty against chipping and peeling. (Clearcoat and warranty are an option)

Call Us Today for Handyman Services

Since 1989 we have strived to be a one-stop-shop for both our commercial and residential customers.  Hiring multiple companies to perform one project takes a lot of time and effort on the consumer’s part.  Calling us to take care of the entire project saves you time, effort, and most of all, money!  Having the right people performing each task at your project is now our responsibility.

Unfortunately, handyman work can lead to unforeseen work.  Our policy is to inform you of additional items before getting started.  Then we can give you an approximate estimate of the additional costs.

We travel all over Howard County, from Mount Airey and even into Laurel.  Bring us your “honey-do” list, and we can easily handle those tasks for you.

Typical services include:
