My love for hands-on work began by working for my father. He was a residential general contractor. For the most part he built additions to suburban homes. I worked for him in the summers for five years. He passed away in 1995 which brought an end to Kenneth C. Dorn Construction, but marked the beginning of my painting career. I grew up in Bloomington and graduated from John F. Kennedy High School.
I went to college at St. John's University in Collegeville, MN. I graduated in 2000 with a B.A. in Art. I later attended the University of Minnesota and completed undergraduate course work for the Masters of Architecture degree. This education has provided a great background for my painting business. KD Painting has allowed me to pursue my passion of serving people by providing them with quality work.
My dad taught me how to work hard, be a good craftsman by caring about the details, and to respect the homeowner and their property. These values have been the foundation of my house painting business over the years.

My Dad was Kenneth Dorn and he's the reason I'm working on people's houses today.
He was a general contractor that showed me how to pour your heart and soul into everything you do.
I started working on houses with him when I was little and I've been painting ever since he passed away in 1995.
I grew up with three sisters whose names all begin with K and even my Mom's middle name is Karen.
It had to be fate that my wife's name is Kimberly.
I am very fortunate to have all of these amazing women in my life.

Is the contractor properly insured?
If the contractor is not properly insured, you face the risk of having to insure a potential accident.
When you called the contractor, did you get a company representative?
A personal response to your call assures you prompt attention to your needs now and in the future; an answering machine or message service cannot always produce the same results.
Did you receive a written estimate?
The scope of work should be clearly defined including areas to be finished, type of material, number of coats, and special surface preparation.
