Cranston Paint & Wallcovering Decorating Center

Same owners, same quality products and services

Posted

Cranston Paint & Wallcovering Decorating Center, a premier paint supply business has moved across the street and a city block away from its former location on Atwood Avenue to a new home at 386 Atwood Avenue. While it may seem that moving might have brought changes to this eighteen year old business, all that has really changed about Cranston Paint is its address. This familiar paint and wall covering shop is still owned by longtime business partners Bill McGuirk and Mike Sturdahl. It is still home to exceptional customer service and most importantly, it is still where its loyal customers will find a series of time-tested product lines that were hand selected for their superior quality by McGuirk and Sturdahl.

Bill McGuirk and Mike Sturdahl bring to their successful business, Cranston Paint and Wallcovering, years of experience and knowledge about paints, stains and wall coverings. Mike began his career back in 1976, and Bill built his career starting in 1986. They began working together in 1987 and in 1995, they opened Cranston Paint. Their combined years of working together and with their chosen product lines make them true experts in their field. Unlike the salespeople often found in big box retail stores, paint is "all we have ever done". If there is anything these professionals know about, it is paint. In addition, as independent dealers, they are not bound to a certain brand, but are devoted to finding you the very best product for the exact specifications of your project.

One of the skills this team offers is expert color/stain matching. McGuirk started in the business working exclusively as a color matcher and over the years, has honed his discerning eye for this process. While computers will match color with 80-90% accuracy, it is only with Bill's final approval that any paint will leave this store. It may seem like an impossible task to blend old colors with a new one, or to find that exact color to match something like a piece of fabric, but Bill McGuirk will work until that perfect match is achieved.

Cranston Paint sells several well-known and professionally-proven paint and stain brands, including Pittsburgh Paints, Muralo Paints (from a 100 year old, family-owned company), Pratt & Lambert Paints, Sikkens paints, Olympic, and Cabot Stains. Throughout their shop, you will find sample sizes of many of these brands, as well as every tool and product you could need to finish your paint or stain project. You will also find a full line of wall covering books to choose from.
