The Painter’s Plastering Blog is updated monthly by Dave Carrigan Jr, owner of Carrigan Painting, featuring recent projects in Amherst and surrounding suburbs. Each post includes photos (typically a dozen or more) and sometimes videos showcasing our workmanship. Projects are organized by town and service type for easy browsing.
Our YouTube channel hosts over 40 videos—be sure to subscribe! I re-started this blog around Christmas 2023 as a way to share our work beyond social media.
Once overnight temperatures reach 50F we can begin painting outside! Yay!
