Another Vermont winter is behind us and the Topcoat staff would like to thank our customers for all of the work opportunities that have allowed us to continue to grow as individuals and as a company. Our customers include builders and designers, as well as long time and brand new residential customers. Recent projects have ranged from large new custom homes, paint and design makeovers, simple color changes, wallpaper stripping and surface restoration projects to cabinet spraying in our shop. The bottom line is, whatever your space needs in order to feel more like home, it is our mission to create that for you.

With the change of seasons, the project ideas are coming in. Some people are selling their homes and buying new ones, others are maintaining and customizing what they aleady have. Still others are constructing their visions from scratch with completely new homes. Our customers have guided us for many years with feedback and suggestions about what we do and what they would like us to do more of. As a result, we have built a very solid pressure washing service into our exterior painting program over the past couple of years and significantly ramped up our decorative painting with finishes like venetian plaster. One of the more rewarding aspects of our work is that we have the opportunity to provide a diverse range of services to our customers, all delivered at a very high level of professional skill and demeanor.

Another significant influence on Topcoat this year has been our working relationship with designer Stephen Saint-Onge (www.stephensaintonge.com) on private projects, as well as higher profile makeovers for national publications. After so many years in the paint business, it has been refreshing to formally combine our talent with Stephen's vision and experience the changes in our clients' lives firsthand. There is no better, more cost effective way to profoundly improve your quality of life at home than to create spaces that are practical, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing.

I encourage you to look around on our website and send any comments or questions you may have to info@topcoatfinishes.com. We are really good at what we do, and we would love to include you in the exchange of ideas that we value. I look forward to hearing from you!
