UBCC Member Spotlight:  Hotter Painting Bringing Color to Our Community

4/14/2021

 
BY MELINDA RIZZO
Chuck Hotter loves paint.

Whether his professional canvas is a converted garage or carriage house, a new home addition, exterior or interior surfaces and trim or a health care facility, retirement village apartments or common areas no space is too big or small for Hotter’s brushes, rollers and his well-appointed tool kit.

Chuck Hotter owns and operates Hotter Painting with his son Greg Hotter in Milford Township.

“Painting is relaxing,” he said of routine maintenance essential to preserving surfaces, and which many love - or loathe- doing themselves.
The end result is its own reward.

A new business begins and grows
In business since 2003, the Hotters handle a mix of commercial and residential jobs – hiring various local subcontractors to round out the job’s requirements as they go.
“We can take anything…and make it beautiful,” he said.

With decades of experience in health care facility maintenance Hotter is drawn to the caring, personal touch inherent in patient and resident interactions. Hotter’s specialty niche is the health care sector.

Community is everything
Being part of a community is important to Hotter, and he lives into a community-focused mission – from his approach to family and friends to his professional life and current position as president of the Upper Bucks Chamber of Commerce.

Working local is a mainstay of his business – and among his business values.
“What makes this a great community are the referrals we get from those we run into on a daily basis. They want to make the community stronger and the way to do that is to refer and buy local. I like the fact that we buy and work local, and it builds our community,” Hotter explained.

Working with an extended team
Area plumbers, electricians and carpenters are part of Hotter Painting’s extended network of trades professionals, once again with the mission that includes “…working together in the Upper Bucks Community.”

By extension, local businesses like Hotter Painting contribute to the global painting, coatings and finishes industry – which includes exterior and interior painting and flooring epoxy coatings. By 2027, the global market for painting, coatings and finishes is expected to be worth about $232 billion, according to the statista.com website. https://www.statista.com/topics/4755/paint-and-coatings-industry/
Hotter Painting services include wallpaper removal and installation, interior and exterior painting, deck staining and power washing, calking, drywall repairs and epoxy floor coatings.
“With paint there is instant gratification, for me and for the home or business owner,” Hotter said.

When Hotter Painting was founded in 2003, the lion’s share of customers came from the residential, home or property owner side of the business.

Going with the flow and a global pandemic
The shift to commercial work - now representing about 80 percent of Hotter Painting’s trade began about six years ago, and it continues to grow.

An important sustaining life raft during the coronavirus pandemic, the commercial painting sector helped Hotter weather 2020. Since beginning in the U.S. in March 2020 Covid-19 has infected more than 1 million Pennsylvanians and killed more than 25,000 in the commonwealth.

Worldwide the pandemic has sickened about 132 million and claimed the lives of nearly 3 million people, according to the Google News website.

Closer to home every business and industry has been touched by it.

“Early last year from the residential side it took just about everything away,” he said.

And while April and May were slow, Hotter said commercial work picked up again last summer.

What customers want – and don’t want any longer
From those hard to reach places in vaulted foyer and great room ceilings to the desire for a fresh look or pairing wall colors to new furnishings, Hotter said on average, homeowners opt for new paint every five to six years.

Current color trends – across all customer sectors continue to be earth tones- “Everyone is staying with those,” Hotter said.
“And faux finishes, those are out. No one wants those anymore,” he said.

Whether it’s pandemic weariness and a yearning for surroundings to be comfortable, or whether it’s the inherent flexible and versatile nature of soft earth tone shades Hotter expects earth tones to continue to be hot for the foreseeable future.

 “There are pets, kids, wear and tear in the home, changing things up or buying new furniture, flooring or rugs, folks want something that looks different,” he said.

My favorite part of this article is no place is too big or tiny for Hotter's brushes, rollers, and well-equipped toolset, whether his professional canvas is a converted garage or carriage house, a new home addition, exterior or interior surfaces and trim, or a health care facility, retirement village apartments, or common spaces. Someone recently told me about this and it is different from what I understand. Thanks for helping me understand interior painting.

You'll almost certainly start your search for dependable, high-quality painting contractors near you by looking for them on the internet. After you've narrowed down a few intriguing possibilities, the following step is to check out their track record. A basic star rating can tell you a lot about a company's reputation, but it won't tell you much else. You should study some web reviews for a better understanding. However, with such a large number of evaluations available, it's a good idea to keep some benchmarks in mind before diving into the weeds. Knowing what you want from a painting company and how you've dealt with them in the past can allow you to give each evaluation more or less weight.
