Our Recommended 

Painter

T. B. Painters


Tom Benanchietti 

and his crew are my choice for a painting contractor.  Their care in preparation as well as a steady hand, make for an 

exceptional finished project.

It's painful for us to 

see unskilled painters 

finish our projects.

Just because you have 

a paint brush, 

doesn't mean you're 

a painter!

I love My Job!

It's especially gratifying when a Homeowner

 appreciates my craftsmanship and

respects my knowledge.

Grandfather, Christian Carlsen​

Christian Carlsen was born in Norway.

He came to this country with carpentry skills.

He passed those skills down to my father and myself.

Through experience, I've learned the right way -

no short cuts or "good enough" is ever the way 

I approach any project.

I have 2 Uncles & 6 Cousins in the business 

who share the same philosophy.

It's tough when I give an estimate and months later

the client calls for me to fix the 

damage done by another contractor.

It's a waste of time and money.

Please contact me if you'd like your project

done right the 1st time.

I've been a carpenter 

for a long time...

Here I am in 1990 

working on a kitchen.

Some of My Pet Peeves

Here are just a few things that 

Really Bother me as a Carpenter


Chair Rail and/or Crown Molding installed upside down.

Flooring installed with butt joints too close together.

Wide gaps in any molding.

Shotty Craftsmanship of any kind.

A Bad Paint Job.

Unfortunately, I could go on & on

about this subject.

I don't want to bore you with 

What NOT to do.

I am happy to report, this great hat lives on!!
