stallation, SKB provides expert services under one
roof and has been in business since 1973.

Each project is given professional attention and
care, along with skilled design support, which is
something that founder Anthony Palladino, with
his partner and son, Nicholas, pride themselves on.
From demolition all the way until the nal coat of
paint is dry, customers are guaranteed complete sat-
isfaction with the outcome.

Using quality products, materials, and craftsman-
ship, the all in-house sta is happy to help clients
achieve their dream home renovations. “People deal
with the owners here—they talk directly to us, not
to sales people—and I think that separates us from
most others,” Palladino said. “We are here every day,
we return calls promptly, and everyone who comes
to your house works for my company; they are all
licensed and insured.”

e process to complete a beautiful, new bath-
room, like the ones pictured here, begins with a
phone call to SKB. Either Anthony or his son will
visit a home, take dimensions, and listen to a cus-
tomer’s wish list. ey will then draw up a plan
and put together an estimate and budget. Once the
scope of the job is agreed upon, the client will work
with an in-house designer who will o er sugges-
tions, discuss the concept and vision of the project
and nalize plans and materials.

And with showrooms in Brewster and Bethel,
Conn., homeowners can browse a plethora of mate-
rials, see displays of cabinetry, counter tops, shower
doors, tile, stone, hardware and much more, to get
ideas and inspiration. “An average bathroom takes
under three weeks and an average kitchen takes
under four weeks,” Palladino added with the con -
dence of someone who has been running a success-
ful business for almost 50 years.

e experienced team of professionals also does
interior painting, home additions and alterations,
decks and windows and doors. All sta on a project
will see through every detail of the job and once they
start, they are there every single day until it is done.

“I hope we will be here for another 50 years,”
SKB’s founder said.
