This atmospheric home is shared by Ellen Jokikunnas with her husband and their Great Dane Reino, cats Pippa and Vokko, a rooster, and chickens. Now this beautiful home was in dire need of a new coat of paint.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;We spoke the same language&#8221;<\/h3>\n\n<p>V\u00e4riset Oy was chosen to carry out the exterior painting of the old station building, and together they planned an execution that honors the magnificent old house. <\/p>\n\n<p>\u2013 From the start, we spoke the same language about what kind of work the house requires. You need to mechanically remove old paint, clean, and apply mold treatment as a base.  <\/p>\n\n<p>The paint chosen was Virtanen Paint Factory&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.virtasenmaalitehdas.fi\/tuote\/virtasen-4-oljyn-laatumaali\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.virtasenmaalitehdas.fi\/tuote\/virtasen-4-oljyn-laatumaali\/\">Four Oil Paint<\/a>, suitable for the old petroleum oil paint surface, which is a familiar and appealing product for Ellen from a cabin painting project a few years ago. <\/p>\n\n<p>The plan for the project convinced Ellen, and the painting project for the beautiful house was scheduled for summer 2021.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2013 Clearly, professionals were at work. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First reaction was &#8220;oh my!&#8221;<\/h3>\n\n<p>The exterior painting project was carried out in the sunny weather of June. With the new coat of paint, the house even seemed to have grown. <\/p>\n\n<p>\u2013 My first reaction when I saw the house almost finished was, oh my, is it really this big!<\/p>\n\n<p>Ellen is satisfied with the result: everything went as agreed, right on schedule. The clean, fresh, and freshly painted exterior brought the house its deserved splendor. <\/p>\n\n<p>\u2013 The house seems to have risen on its toes and gained extra square footage. Now you can see how the house&#8217;s old wooden details stand out.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trust the professionals<\/h3>\n\n<p>Ellen warmly recommends V\u00e4riset Oy.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2013 It&#8217;s good to rely on professionals. You get a warranty for the work, and you know for sure that things will be taken care of and the workmanship will be skilled. <\/p>\n\n<p>Now the home has a striking and protective coat of paint for years to come.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2013 The 113-year-old lady has received her well-deserved dress, so to speak.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Does your home need maintenance painting? Is the old paint peeling, has the brick roof seen better days? We&#8217;re happy to do the maintenance work for you.   <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"6054\" src=\"https:\/\/variset.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ellen_jokikunnas_variset_ulkomaalaus5-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6054\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"6055\" src=\"https:\/\/variset.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ellen_jokikunnas_variset_ulkomaalaus6-1-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6055\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"6056\" src=\"https:\/\/variset.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC02893-2-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6056\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"6057\" src=\"https:\/\/variset.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ellen_jokikunnas_variset_ulkomaalaus2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6057\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"6058\" src=\"https:\/\/variset.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Jokikunnaksen_talon_maalaus-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6058\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_page_background_color":"","_accent_color":""},"categories":[508,463],"class_list":["post-282868","testimonial","type-testimonial","status-publish","hentry","category-customer-stories","category-house-painting"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/variset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/testimonial\/282868","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/variset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/testimonial"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/variset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/testimonial"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/variset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=282868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/variset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=282868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
