Positioning itself to better serve its market as the economy recovers, A.G. Williams Painting Company, a family-owned and -operated residential and commercial painting firm for over 100 years, proudly announces the opening of its new office in Fairfield County, CT, and the naming of industry veteran Doug Kitchen as Connecticut account representative and corporate wallpaper specialist. The A.G. Williams Connecticut office is located at 26 Arcadia Road in Old Greenwich.
The company’s expansion into the Fairfield County market strengthens its presence in the northern metro New York area. “We look forward to serving our Connecticut commercial and residential customers with the same exacting standards that we’ve upheld for over 100 years,” says third generation owner George P. Williams. “Doug and his crew members are bringing with them an outstanding reputation for quality work and superior customer service.”
Kitchen began his career while in college, where he ran a home painting business. After working in the field for several years after graduation, Kitchen expanded into the wallpaper industry and opened a Stamford store, Ambiance Interiors (later, Ambiance Painting, LLC), that serviced area decorators and home owners. A graduate of the United States School of Professional Paper Hanging and former president of the Westchester branch of the National Guild of Paper Hangers, Kitchen serves as technical consultant to Osborne & Little, a London-based leading fabric and wallpaper designer and distributor. He is a member of the American Society of Interior Designers and Painting and Decorating Contractors of America. A former Marine who served in the Vietnam War, Kitchen resides in Norwalk with his family.
