With new builds and home renovations on the rise in the Tavistock area, demand for skilled painters has never been higher. One local company, Birk Painting, continues to meet that demand.
Founded in Waterloo in 2001 by Davinder Birk, the company moved into the Tavistock community in 2015 when Apple Homes secured Birk Painting under contract. Since then, the partnership has thrived, with Birk Painting marking 10 years as Apple Homes’ painting contractor.
In 2016, Birk and his family built their own home with Apple Homes, making Tavistock their permanent residence. Since then, he has also given back to the community, volunteering annually as a Tavistock Tornadoes youth soccer coach.
The company has grown to four full-time and four part-time employees, keeping pace with Apple Homes’ expansion. On average, Apple closes two to four houses a month, with developments near Tavistock Public School and beyond.
Birk Painting handles everything from priming houses and spraying trim and doors to painting walls, staining staircases and applying exterior finishes. Their focus on quality, efficiency and personal service has made them a reliable partner for Apple Homes.
Beyond new construction, Birk Painting also offers full interior and exterior repaints. One recent highlight was painting the new Penrose Suites at the St. Marys Golf and Country Club.
The company is located next to Quehl’s Restaurant in Tavistock, in the building once known as the local police station where the late Const. Ron Rudy made his second home.
