2020 Best Decorative Wall Covering Award
Palette Pro Painting & Renovation, Inc. Honored by the Painting Contractors Association for Wall Covering Work – 2020 Best Decorative Wall Covering Award Recipient
St. Louis, Missouri (March 3, 2020) – Palette Pro Painting & Renovation, Inc. in White Plains, NY was awarded the Best Decorative Wall Covering Award from the Painting Contractors Association (PCA) for their work on a new construction home in Greenwich, CT.
This Award is part of the Picture it Painted Professionally (PIPP) awards which honor the best work completed by PCA member contractors.
Palette Pro painted, installed wall coverings, applied decorative finishes and finished wood surfaces as part of a three-level, 15,000-square-foot residential project.
Once a five level finish was achieved on all drywall in the home, an eggshell finish was applied to all walls and ceilings. All walnut doors and cladding were sealed with a lacquer finish. A variety of high-end wall coverings and murals were installed on many ceilings and walls.
Palette Pro started the project in November 2017 and completed in January 2019. During that time, they maintained at least five painters on the project, and, at times, scaled up to 12 painters to meet deadlines.
The Best Decorative Wall Covering Award was presented at PCA’s annual EXPO event Feb. 19-21 in Phoenix-Glendale, Arizona.
The Painting Contractors Association (PCA) is an international trade association dedicated to the success of painting contractors through ethics, education and excellence.

6 Tips to Selecting Your Paint Color
Painting the inside of your house starts with a difficult choice: Just what colors are you going to use (exterior paints can also be a challenge)? If you’re not sure where to begin, we have a few suggestions for you to make sure your colors are everything you need them to be. Get your project out of the paper and get a quote for your project.
1. Start With an Existing Piece
When picking paint colors, especially interior palettes, one of the best routes to take is finding an existing piece you really, really love. This could be a piece of art, a beloved bedspread, or even a section of beautiful natural wood. You can then use this piece as a jumping off point: What colors complement the piece the most? Which match it? Which will bring out its best characteristics? You now have a number of shades to work with! If you are working with an empty house instead, look for a piece of inspiration online or in magazines that you can use in a similar way.
2. Use the Color Wheel
The color wheel is a basic tool that shows you what colors complement or contrast each other. It’s a great way to make sure that you don’t choose colors that look good in the moment, but actually clash or bring out the worst in each other. Even casual renovations or painting projects should utilize the color wheel to find effective options and avoid mistakes.
3. When in Doubt, Go Neutral
Often, neutral colors are better choices for most indoor paint colors. That’s because there are always other things to draw in the eye inside the house: Beautiful countertops, wood floors, carefully chosen furniture, murals, and so on. Neutral colors like grays, soft whites, and creamy shades will enhance these other aspects of your house without drawing too much attention to themselves. They also tend to look great with natural light!
4. Look for Easy Monochromatic Options
Monochromatic color palettes mean choosing a single base color, and then using a few different shades based off that color – some lighter, and some darker. This allows you to use darker or lighter colors in certain areas of your home while still making sure that everything matches.
5. Don’t Choose Too Many Colors
Remember, many homes already have focal points like floors or furniture to draw the eye. Choosing too many colors for your house can make it feel very cluttered, confused, and ultimately unpleasant. The eye won’t know where to look! So stick to two or possibly three colors in a particular area.
6. Pay Attention to Finishes
Remember, the right finish can add an extra dynamic to your paint colors. Usually, this means choosing a level of “sheen” from flat to high gloss. Which will work better for your home? Glossy paints tend to reflect more light, but they are also more noticeable. Different rooms may benefit from different sheens, or you could choose one sheen for the entire house.
Still having trouble making up your mind? That’s completely normal – but we can help! Call Palette Pro today and get a color consultation. We’ll go over your own needs and plans to find a color scheme that’s just right for your house.

Giving Back to John Monaco for Decades of Service
The year 1943 seems like distant history for many, but for one member of the PDCA community, it was a life-changing year. John Monaco had just returned home from the army, and he was searching for the next phase of his life. He knew he needed to get set up with the right career and start to move in a positive direction.
After talking with his father, John decided to start working at the painting business his grandfather started in 1906, Beverly Painters & Decorating Inc., formerly known as Henry Monaco Painting. Despite being a third-generation contractor, John knew nothing about painting or business. He spent some time working with his father and learning the trade, then he turned to PDCA, which turned out to be one of the most valuable resources to start and maintain his career.
John spent years attending PDCA seminars and meetings, learning from industry leaders and making valuable connections. He found that other contractors always had the answers he was looking for and would offer any assistance they could provide.
The help he received from PDCA allowed him to be involved with his family business for many years, eventually taking over in the late 1970s.
John went on to help other contractors by being involved with local chapters and giving back to the community. He was the President of Westchester Chapter of PDCA on three different occasions in the 1980s.
Recently, John, who is now retired, needed the exterior of his home painted. He called Ray Rahni of Paint Track for an estimate. As a thank-you to John’s years of service, Ray organized a group of PDCA members to come complete the job free of charge.
The crew joined together, regardless of their company, for two days to complete the job. About 14 workers from various painting companies in the area, including Palette Pro Painting & Renovation. All volunteered together to paint the exterior of John’s home.
As the team finished the job, John was moved by the work everyone had done. This project is a testament to the extraordinary community that comes along with a PDCA membership. No matter how busy life can get, members of the community are always willing to come together to help out another member, like John.
At the beginning of his career, John found the answers and support he was looking for from PDCA. He later moved to become the giver and help other contractors in the association. Many years later, John is still seeing the tremendous benefits PDCA provides and the compassion of many members.
After all of his experience with the association, John Monaco said, “All you need in your tool case is PDCA.”
