"I had been looking at Ken's pictures of Craftsman paint schemes online. It was very hard picking a paint color for my Historic Landmark Craftsman in Sacramento, CA that would set it apart from the other colors on the street. Green and Camel Coat were the colors that I was considering. Ken showed me what my house would look like with both colors, which made the decision easy -- a mossy forest green that was curated for me by the local Benjamin Moore dealer. The trim color suggestions he made were right on, and I used one that we talked about - Putnam Ivory. The colors we chose are representative of the colors used in 1914. Working with Ken gave me peace of mind on my choice, when before I was terribly stressed about it. I love the new look of my house and I get many compliments on it."

"We had a great experience working with Ken on identifying color combinations for the exterior of our 1904 red sandstone home. We had been struggling for months to find colors that would complement the red/pink facade and just couldn't quite figure out what would look good. Ken worked through our color selections, and added or changed colors in ways I would never have thought to try, but they worked really well! We have two color options that we really like - we're planning to try out both and see which one we like better. Thanks, Ken!"

"Ken was a total pro and great to talk with about a color scheme for our 1907 craftsman. He was completely open to trying out several colors and we landed on a much more balanced version than what I had in my head going into the consult. I can't wait to try the colors! His website has helped me understand so much more about how our house is put together and how to care for it, and I was so happy with the time and care Ken took with the consult."

"Ken was extremely helpful in showing us how to improve the appearance of our home with proper color placement and selection. He took into consideration our home style/age and the other elements of our home and what would look good with them, and he often asked for our feedback as he made changes/adjustments while on the Zoom call. He was very professional and patient and clearly wants his clients to be happy and satisfied. He has been great to work with! Great experience! Highly recommend!"
