The company is a Benjamin Moore authorized dealer, selecting products matched to each project's surface and conditions. Past projects range from single-room refreshes to the Ford-Wyoming Drive-In Theater and Knollwood Apartments common areas.
Based at 4686 Dixie Highway Suite A in Waterford, Keller Custom Painting serves Genesee, Oakland, Macomb, Livingston, and Shiawassee counties. The company offers free estimates and online scheduling through their booking portal.
