For Anthony Kulikowski, painting has always been more than a hobby.
Kulikowski picked up painting in high school when he learned from his future wife’s grandfather the tips and tricks of the trade. Her grandfather was a true master of his craft, and in fact he started painting before the paint roller was ever invented.
Fun fact: The paint roller was invented in 1940.
As advances in painting continued to grow, so did the ways that artists practiced this sometimes-tedious skill. The more time Kulikowski spent learning and practicing his painting, the more his love for it grew. This led him to open his own company, through which he served the local community.
In 2017 Kulikowski took on a new business endeavor when he joined Five Star Painting. He opened his own franchise of the business, which aims to help customers with painting projects in the area. These projects range from residential to commercial, interior and exterior, and no project is too big or too small.
Making the switch to open Five Star Painting was an easy process for Kulikowski, as he and his team were able to utilize even more industry-leading techniques and tools to serve their customers. Although it is a franchise, anything that individuals see locally with the Five Star Painting name was done by their team of professionals.
For potential customers, the process is quite simple. You are able to reach out to a Five Star representative to schedule a free estimate. They can provide information over the phone, and schedule a day and time for a team member to come look at your project in person. Typically, this process involves a quick turnaround time.
Once the team member arrives, they will walk through the space with you and get a feel for what you are looking for. Whether you are looking for a whole-building paint job or a single room, Five Star Painting can assure you the quality will remain the same.
Not sure what look you are going for when it comes to your home? No problem. Their team members can provide samples and suggestions to spark your interest. Additionally, their website is full of paint jobs they have completed. There you will find images such as white kitchen walls, bright foyers, painted railings, exterior decks and fences, bathrooms, basements, full exterior painting and more.
Perhaps you are looking to freshen up your office space. Five Star Painting prides themselves on quality commercial paint jobs as well. Some of their most popular jobs include dentist and doctor offices, warehouses, churches, fitness centers, schools, and virtually any other type of commercial building.
At the local Five Star Painting, Kulikowski says they have between 40 and 50 employees, which includes professional painters and a variety of team members. “Right now, the most popular style is bright whites with black,” says Kulikowski. He says farmhouse style is still in high demand both for interior and exterior paint style.
Most customers who choose Five Star Painting are not looking for a complete renovation, but rather a change in style and paint color. Kulikowski describes how a simple change in wall color or exterior paint can completely freshen up a home or building.
One of the most rewarding parts for him and his team is taking old homes and freshening them up with a new coat of paint.
“I love taking an old home that has been neglected for too long and bringing it back to life,” he says. “It creates a sense of pride.” Additionally, he loves seeing the changes in the painting business and watching the members of his team grow. He has seen them become first-time homeowners, buy a first or new vehicle, start families, and develop into well-rounded individuals.
