A New Coat of Paint for a Historic Property – “They Did a Great Job”

In Salo stands a magnificent manor, home to Anja and Hannu Paronen. Here, history reaches all the way back to the 14th century. Now it was time for the old house to get a new look.

“A historian found the property in Stockholm libraries. The property has passed from private ownership to the Catholic Church, and from there to the King of Sweden. This hall has been used as an elementary school, and it has also served as the Uskela municipal hall. Anja’s parents bought it from the state in the 1930s.”

The large house and beautiful courtyard simply exude history and stories. A Väriset advertisement landed in the mailbox, which gave the house painting project its initial push.

“The west end of the house was in worse condition paint-wise. We think that when we eventually leave the house, it should be in good condition.”

New Surface, New Color

A Väriset salesperson came to assess the scope of the painting work and calculate a quote.

“We talked with the salesperson on-site for a long time. The painting work actually started just a couple of weeks after that.”

Among the paints, Tikkurila Ultra Classic was considered best for this property. The paint color was carefully considered. The color chosen for the house was shade Q118 Tuomi from Tikkurila’s color chart, which is slightly less yellow than the old layer.

“Unknowingly, my son and I chose the same shade, even though the color chart is large.”

“We Missed Them When They Left”

The painting work was done in July 2023.

“There were three painters, and four during the last couple of days. Such nice young people, we really missed them when they left.”

“They did a great job. We definitely recommend them, everything went extremely well and quickly.”

Now the house has a beautiful coat of paint worthy of it.

“It’s always nicer to live in a house that’s well painted.”
