The
Carrigan Archives 📚
What began as an alternative to social media for sharing proof of our work,
has become a one-of-a-kind, large, well-organized library of interior painting and
ceiling restoration projects completed in Western New York between 2024 and 2026 by
Carrigan Painting. With over 130 case studies and thousands of project photos,
The Carrigan Archives documents real-world conditions, challenges,
professional repair methods, and the results.
5/2/26: This page has been redesigned into a structured hub that organizes content into six clearly defined topic clusters. The new layout is built to improve clarity, navigation, and access without relying on a traditional blog feed format.
