Company History

Carrigan Painting was established in 2010 in Amherst NY by Mr Carrigan, a third-generation artisan. With a lifelong passion for plaster, my journey began at a young age working for my father's business, Carrigan Plastering - the second generation of our family’s nearly century-long legacy that began in Buffalo around 1930. That tradition of craftsmanship and excellence continues to this day.

Along the way, I have worked for many renowned home improvement contractors in the Amherst/Clarence area while also caring for my ailing father, my dad permanently closed his business in 2000. In 2007, he sadly passed away. After settling my father's estate, I embarked on a lifelong dream to establish Carrigan Painting in 2010. My knowledge spans various building trades and encompasses all stages of residential construction, however my specialty is residential ceilings.

Our company focuses on residential painting and ceiling restorations, as well as a unique specialization in traditional plastering & Drywall Repair services. We enjoy the work and strive to consistently meet the high standards for which we are renowned. We are not perfect, but we try our best.

In 2016, we re-located from Amherst NY to Akron NY.

Carrigan is pronounced Kerrigan.

3 Generations of Excellence

Our Family Tree is rooted in the building trades

Beginning in the 1930's there has been at least 1 Carrigan company operating in Buffalo NY. From my grandfather's company - William A. Carrigan Plastering & General Contracting (1930 - 1979), he built many of the homes and some commercial buildings in Western New York. In addition he also had multiple commercial projects in Pennsylvania and Ohio until the 1970's.

My parents generation decided to stay much more local to the Western New York region. While continuing with plastering, they also branched out into drywall and painting. Carrigan companies include, Town & Country Plastering (uncle), David G Carrigan Plastering (my father) 1980-2000, Carrigan Drywall (cousin) and Carrigan Painting (2010-present) the company that I started.

Our company website & The Carrigan Archives is maintained personally by Mr Carrigan. There are no stock images anywhere on our website or in The Archives. A marketing company/AI did not create any of the information nor does a 3rd party handle any of our advertising.
Today, The Archives contains hundreds of human documented projects, industry observations and thousands of original project photos.

Carrigan Painting is a stand alone business. It is not a continuation of my father's plastering business.
