Our Story
Painting runs in the family
Three Generations. One Passion.
For us, painting isn’t just a business, it’s a family tradition. Classic Painting began with Patrick’s grandfather, Boone Kendall, whose steady hand, strong work ethic, and commitment to doing the job right laid the foundation for what we do today. His care for customers and pride in quality became the standard. Patrick’s father, Dale Kendall, carried that torch forward, growing the business while staying rooted in the same values: honest work, lasting craftsmanship, and treating every home as if it were his own. Today, Patrick continues that legacy, blending decades of family knowledge with modern techniques to deliver professional results that stand the test of time.

From The Owner
My name is Patrick Kendall, and I am the co-owner and operator of Classic Painting. My father, Dale, taught me the painting trade, just as his father taught him. More importantly, he taught me by example how to treat people: to be honest and fair, and to do your work with all your heart, as unto the Lord Jesus. He has made a lifetime of sacrifices for me, and I am forever grateful for his love and continual support through the ups and downs of my life. I would not be the man I am today, nor in the position I have as a small business owner, without him. However, the most important part of my story is this: had the Lord Jesus Christ not intervened in my life, none of this would have happened. I would likely be dead. I owe everything to God, who saved and redeemed a broken, sinful man and placed me on the sure foundation of His grace. This business is much more than me being a small business owner. It is the reality of the new life God has birthed in me. At Classic Painting, my desire is to glorify Christ in everything I do and say. Does that mean perfection? No, it does not. I strive- not in my own strength, but in Christ’s- to proclaim the excellencies of Him who called me out of darkness into His marvelous light. Doing our clients’ work is not just about a paycheck. I care most of all about doing your job to the best of my ability, with honesty and integrity.
