What began as one painter's dream of building a business rooted in quality workmanship has grown into one of Central Connecticut's trusted names in painting and home improvement.
As PGT Painting approaches its fifth year in business, owner Paulie Tirella continues to build the company on the same principles that inspired him to strike out on his own after spending 15 years working for another painting contractor. When his former employer retired, Paulie saw an opportunity to create a company where craftsmanship, honesty and customer service would always come first.
Today, PGT Painting serves homeowners and businesses throughout West Hartford, Avon, Farmington, Simsbury, Southington, Plainville and surrounding communities, providing a full range of interior and exterior painting services, wallpaper installation and removal, cabinet refinishing, trim work and decorative epoxy flooring.
Along with business partner Kristen Bevin they have expanded the company's capabilities while maintaining the personalized approach that has earned them a loyal customer base.
"Kristen has a keen eye for detail when it comes to everything in the painting world," Paulie said.
Depending on the season, PGT Painting employs between four and seven experienced painters, allowing the company to remain flexible while maintaining the high standards clients have come to expect. Paulie personally oversees every project to ensure each job meets the company's commitment to excellence.
That dedication has led to long-term relationships with both residential and commercial customers. PGT Painting maintains ongoing commercial accounts with organizations including Assa Abloy, Cheshire Academy and Capital Community College.
The company has also completed numerous projects for the DORO Restaurant Group, including work at DORO Marketplace and other restaurant locations, as well as overseeing the wallpapering and painting during the renovation of Restaurant Bricco.
While painting remains the company's foundation, PGT Painting has continued to evolve by embracing new products and techniques. One of its fastest-growing services is decorative epoxy flooring, which offers homeowners and businesses a durable, seamless surface that resists stains, moisture and heavy wear.
To stay ahead of industry trends, Paulie and his team completed specialized training on the latest epoxy systems, including metallic finishes that create dramatic, marble-like designs. The flooring has become increasingly popular in garages, basements, workshops, home gyms and commercial spaces, combining long-lasting performance with striking visual appeal.
PGT Painting also keeps a close eye on changing design trends inside the home. Kristen says homeowners are moving beyond the all-white interiors that have dominated recent years, embracing warmer gray tones, bold black doors and trim, and even painted ceilings that add depth and personality to living spaces.
Whether refreshing a single room, refinishing kitchen cabinets, installing decorative epoxy flooring or managing a large-scale commercial project, PGT Painting approaches every job with the same philosophy.
"We deliver exceptional painting and home improvement services," Kristen said.
"We combine professional expertise with personal attention to create beautiful, lasting results for every client," Paulie added.
As the company continues to grow, Paulie and Kristen remain committed to the hands-on service and quality craftsmanship that have defined PGT Painting from the very beginning.
