Thomas S Ayars Painting & Decorating LLC

I have enjoyed, and been good at, building and repairing things since I was a child and took shop, as well as college prep courses throughout school.. In 1980, after graduate school, I started working building and finishing furniture, I then worked for a home improvement company doing siding, storm windows and painting. I then apprenticed for 2 years with a third-generation painting and wallpaper contractor and when he retired in 1985 I started my painting and wallpapering contracting business while living in Ithaca New York- a town chock full of 19th and early twentieth homes, including my own vintage home built in 1878 which I restored inside and out. I moved my business to New Haven and Fairfield County, Connecticut in 1998, restoring many of the Elm City’s vintage homes. Today I am extending my business model to Nantucket, where my wife Kathy and I have been vacationing since the late 1990’s. In 2010 we purchased a small cottage in town that I have been renovating and redecorating. Over the years we have invested ourselves in the community, visiting year-round, and supporting the not-for-profit and for-profit businesses.
