Too many Kansas City homeowners have dealt with painting contractors who vanish mid-project, leave behind messy work sites, or fail to communicate when delays arise. Todd Merriott acquired Unique Painting KC in 2024, continuing the company Chad Wek founded in 2007, with a commitment to solving these exact frustrations through hands-on ownership and consistent communication.
The company handles interior and exterior residential painting, cabinet refinishing, wood rot repair, ceiling painting and texturing, and deck staining. Interior designer Toska provides color consultations to help homeowners select palettes that complement their spaces. The team brings over 80 years of combined experience to projects ranging from single-room refreshes to complete home transformations.
The fully licensed and insured team operates from Lee's Summit and serves the entire Kansas City metro area, including Independence, Liberty, Gladstone, and the Northland communities. Unique Painting KC is a registered business entity with the Missouri Secretary of State. The company has earned multiple Best of the Northland awards and runs the annual Be Unique Challenge community program.
