Our Company History
     

Cabin Class Painting was founded in 1990 after Daniel May saw the need for a hard working, responsible painting contractor that could be trusted by all age groups to come into their home and do work over extended periods of time, depending on the size of the job. “People are just leery of who they are inviting into their homes in this day and age”, says Dan, “especially the seasoned citizens out there. They like knowing that I come with pedigree papers”.
   

What’s Dan mean by that? When Dan was 9 years old, his father taught him the painting trade. Dan opened his own painting business when he graduated high school, and he painted his way to his flying career. Dan flew as a captain on corporate jets out of Akron Canton Airport for 12 years and retired from it so he could spend more time with family. He reopened his painting business as Cabin Class Painting, thus allowing him to stay in town during his daughters’ formative years. “Flying was fun, but the painting business has allowed me to meet so many people on a business level and then beautify their homes while I turned these customers into friends”.
     
Dan and his family have been residents of Manchester for 20 years. His wife, Linda, is a special education teacher in the Coventry school system. They have three daughters, Lindsay, Logan, and Taylor. Lindsay and Logan attend Walsh University in Canton, and Taylor attends Manchester High School. They are members of St. Francis de Sales parish in Coventry, where Dan has served on Parish Council for 3 years and has coached girl’s volleyball for 4 championship seasons out of 5.
Dan takes pride in the fact that he has earned the trust of so many in his local area over the years, that his business has expanded many times over from word of mouth alone. His “repeat or referral” business makes up 75% of work that Cabin Class Painting performs. “That is just an unheard of percentage for any business,” says Dan. “My clients sometimes call me for things totally unrelated to painting because they know if I don’t have the solution, I usually know somebody that I trust, who does…and if I trust them, my clients know they can take it to the bank.”
     
Dan strives for perfection and instills the same qualities in his employees that are expected of him. He increases his knowledge of application techniques, products and finishes as they become available.
     
Now, almost 15 years later, he is providing the same quality service with a wider range of services. Make sure you take a look at what his clients are saying about his work!
