We are fortunate to live in an area so rich with both history and local businesses that have stood the test of time. Businesses like Thompson Custom Painting which has been a staple of our community for over 50 years.
Whether your home needs interior or exterior paint, new wallpaper, carpentry, or other services Thompson Custom Painting has helped make homes throughout the Delaware Valley brighter and more beautiful. Founded in 1970 by Richard W. Thompson, Sr., Thompson Custom Painting has continued to strive for perfection in all its work and believes that all jobs, no matter the size, should be completed to the highest professional standards.
A standard that Richard’s son, Rick, has upheld since he took over the family business 20 years ago. Rick said he inherited his father’s entrepreneurial spirit and love for painting by working with his father from a young age. “I began working with my dad when I was 13 years old. After high school, I
went to Neumann University, graduated with a degree in Business Administration, and joined the 9 to 5 workforce,” he explained. “But I realized pretty quickly that working in an office wasn’t for me, so I went back to what I enjoyed, painting and working with my father.”
Over the past 20 years, Rick’s workmanship, dedication and company management have led to even more success and customers who have become friends. “It means so much to be able to live and work in the community I love,” he said. “My wife and I have lived in Newtown Square for 17 years and raised our two kids here.” He has spent many years volunteering on various boards and was the driving force behind our annual Pints in the Square Brewfest that benefits the Newtown Square Volunteer Fire Company.
These days, you’ll find Rick and his staff of master painters striving for perfection on every job. “Our customers come first,” Rick said. “We have built our business on quality work, trusted relationships and customer referrals.” Rick added that they have earned a reputation as one of the most reliable
and respected painting contractors in Delaware, Chester and Montgomery counties. He said that seeing a project from the beginning through transformation to the end is very rewarding for him and his team.
Thompson Custom Painting offers clients the services of a talented painting staff boasting decades of experience. “Our team is our extended family,” Rick said. They have been with us for many years and have expert knowledge and skill and possess the moral character that our clients know and trust.” Whether your home is worth $200,000 or $20 million, you can be assured that all your possessions—furniture, paintings, flooring and just about anything else—are in good hands.
That experience really does make a difference because it has proved that Thompson Custom Painting will do the job by the book, from prep work through cleanup. Their painters are clean and punctual. They show up on time and do the job right. They are true painting professionals.
Thompson’s interior painting includes color consultation, drywall and plaster repair, staining and varnishing, and wall scraping. Additional inside work involves burning, stripping and restoring old woodwork. Outside, the team applies paint to various surfaces, such as wood, metal, vinyl and plastic. They also stain and varnish, seal decks and other natural wood surfaces, and burn, strip, and restore old woodwork.
Rick said that with spring just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to start thinking about your “to-do” list. “A task often overlooked is having the exterior of your house painted,” he said. “Having your house painted will not only cover faded or worn-down paint, but it will also enhance the appearance and appeal of the home.” Rick explained that paint has the power to update, improve and accentuate the unique architectural elements of your house, making it more visually appealing. He also noted that the appearance and condition of the exterior of your home are some of the very first things guests or potential buyers notice if you’re in the market to sell.
