Mixing it Up-Palette and People
Anybody who does professional painting as a business is in the business of mixing colors. It takes many different kinds of colorants to achieve particular color. Nature provides us splendorous beauty (especially during the New England autumn), but no such color as “Grandma’s Sweater” or “Alligator Alley”. The color that you see on your walls is the result of a deft combination of other colors. For example, if you mix quinacridone gold and cobalt, you will achieve the color of a willow tree’s leaves in late summer.
At the Larkin Painting Company, we love to mix. Our team is a mixture of men and women, different ethnic and national backgrounds, different races, different religions. Each person in our company has different skill sets, and each enthusiastically contributes those skills to help our company deliver excellence to our customers.

Without the mixture we would not be the company that we are. We would not be able to provide the range of services, from expert surface repair to custom painted murals and accents, that we do without this mixture of people and their talents and passion for their craft.

We love this same diversity in our customer base, because when all is said and done, our service is about the relationships we have been able to forge and engage. Our customers come from different geographies – city and suburb – as well as from different family configurations and economic backgrounds. And in the beginning of this season of high electoral drama, we like to say that our customers occupy the entire range of the political spectrum. At the end of the day, for us it is all about caring enough to listen and respect the humanity that we all share.
We at Larkin Painting are proud that bias has no place in our company. In other words, we love to mix it up! And think of it: in a world where people can easily get isolated in and protective of their own familiar niches, mixing it up can be revolutionary.
Be well.
