Safety First at our Monthly Meeting

A Safe Job Site is a Happy Job Site

Korth and Shannahan has a strong team mentality through group activities and education.  We have developed a climate of willingness to adopt common practices for work manship and most importantly, safety. 

Once a month our painters, foreman, and managers get a chance to speak to the company on a topic of safety or best practices which is important to them.

This week one of our carpenters touched on several points regarding ladder safety.  He talked of the importance to not rush in order to give the proper attention to techniques such as using the 4/1 ratio of angel when using an extention ladder and the avoidence of placing things under the feet to increase its elevation. 

Wilmer said some carpenters have a tendancy to think they can fix anything.  He impressed upon the group the importance to avoid doing this with the ladders [a breif chuckle from the group], just buy a  new ones.  Some sound advice I believe.

Among other community based activities, Korth and Shannahan continues to meet monthly so that our customers understand what separates us from every other painter.

Korth and Shannahan is now offering great winter rates for interior painting.  For new work, call now for an appointment.  (914) 238 – 5388.

 

Workin’ On Our Chirstmas Card

Korth and Shannahan has the most fun! 

Each year we love to come up with great ideas to get your attention in our seasonal post cards, and it usually revolves around something that makes us look ridiculous while making you laugh.

Last Wednesday Korth and Shannahn got together in down town Chappaqua to come up with a concept and do a photo shoot for our up coming Holiday Post Card.  It took a while to get a good shot.  Not all painters are quite so photogenic as Will Korth, so we had to air brush the final product a bit. 

Thanks to Wayne Bass and the Town of New Castle for letting us use one of it’s public locations for the staging.

Chappaqua’s Annual Ragamuffin Parade

Picture Perfect Party!

Pirates….pumpkins…princesses…. all painted pictures at the Korth and Shannahan table at this year’s Ragamuffin Parade.

Once again, Korth and Shannahan was privileged to sponsor the parade, which was held on Sunday, October 23, at the Chappaqua train station.

Thank you to all the young artists who painted and posted their work on the train station building (as shown above).  Will Korth and Tom Fisher even added a few works of their own.  See if you can pick them out…

We had a great time and we hope you did as well:)

For great pricing on new interior work, call to schedule your painting project for the week after Thanksgiving!

Scarsdale Newcomers’ Picnic Raffle Winner

Congratulations to Mrs. Linda Mantis, the winner of the 2011 Scarsdale Newcomers’ Picnic Painter for a Day Raffle.

 

Recently, Will Korth drew Mrs. Mantis’ name from the box at an impromptu ceremony at our office.  Tom Fisher promptly called Mrs. Mants to inform her of her win and she was delightfully surprised.

 

Korth and Shannahan made an appointment to review her work to set up a time to have one of our senior painters come out for a free full day’s work at her home on Montrose Road in Scarsdale.

 

Thank you to Lewis Arlt for inviting Korth and Shannahan to the Newcomers’ Picnic.  It was great day and we were happy to be there.

For just $400.00 (materials included) you could have a painter for a day this Fall or Winter.  Don’t hesitate to call us!

New Castle Community Day Raffle Winner

Congratulations to Chappaqua’s own Maria McKee who won the Korth and Shannahan Community Day raffle for a FREE PAINTER FOR A DAY.

Will Korth called Maria last week and she was thrilled to be the big winner. She has already given us a run down on the work she has planned.

Maria wants to thank her good friend Sandra Murphy for urging her to enter. Maria and Sandra spent the morning working at the Congregational Church’s booth.

It was a great Community Day and Korth and Shannahan was glad to be a part of it.

Could you use a painter for a day this Fall or Winter?  Don’t hesitate to call
