## Commercial Painting in New Britain, CT

Gagnon Painting & Decorating has worked on Connecticut commercial property since 1977. New Britain is the Hardware City — American Hardware Corporation was the state's largest employer with 12,000 workers by 1913, and Stanley Black & Decker is still headquartered here — which means a commercial building stock built to industrial standards and now serving a broad mix of uses.

We are fully licensed and insured, a PDCA member and BBB accredited. CT Registration H.I.C. #0564200.

## What should a New Britain business owner check before repainting?

Whether the building is in a historic district, and whether the work touches anything beyond color. New Britain adopted a Historic Preservation Ordinance in September 2011, and its Historic Preservation Commission conducts historic review as part of the building-permit process. The Commission publishes rehabilitation standards for commercial historic properties specifically, alongside a demolition-delay ordinance and guideline sheets on Siding, Porches, Entrances, Windows, Roofs, Masonry, and Paints and Stains.

For a straight repaint, Connecticut law puts color outside that process: CGS section 7-147d(c) says historic district rules shall not extend to the color of paint used on the exterior of any building or structure. For storefront alterations, replacement windows or masonry work, the position is different and the Commission is the right first call.

The other thing worth settling early is hours. Retail, restaurant and medical premises all have windows in which painting is either disruptive or impossible. We schedule commercial work around the business rather than around the crew, and those constraints belong in the quote rather than in a conversation halfway through the job.
