In the heart of Lawrence, a family-run business has been steadily making homes brighter and clients happier–one paintbrush stroke at a time. KB Painting, a name long trusted in the community, is now in its next chapter, guided by the hands and hearts of two couples: Andrea and AJ Babin and their daughter and son-in-law, Victoria and Randy Perdue. With its more than 20 years of history and a vibrant future ahead, here are five things to know about KB Painting.

1. It’s a Family Affair Built on Experience and Heart

KB Painting did not begin with the Perdue and Babin families, but it’s clear they’ve made it their own since taking over in 2019. “When the opportunity came to step in and continue something great, it felt like the right move,” says Victoria Perdue. Each member of the team brings a unique background–ranging from project management and construction to customer service and real estate–which they’ve woven into the daily operations of the business with care and intention.

What sets them apart is their all-in approach. As a family business, every job is personal. “There’s a level of trust and shared commitment that’s hard to find elsewhere,” says Victoria. “Our name is on every project, and we take that seriously.” The group divides responsibilities based on their strengths, but is always ready to jump in wherever needed. This adaptability ensures that each project runs smoothly, regardless of scale or complexity. It’s a team effort in the truest sense. With 12 Best of Lawrence awards and 80 five-star reviews on Google alone, they are a trusted name in the community–known for both quality work and a warm, responsive approach.

2. Residential Repaints Are Their Specialty

KB Painting handles a range of interior and exterior jobs, but residential repaints are where they really shine. Whether it’s freshening up a living room or giving kitchen cabinets a facelift, their team is focused on helping homeowners bring their vision to life with precision and professionalism that reflect years of experience.

Clients frequently praise KB Painting for clean lines, tidy workspaces, and clear communication throughout the process. One memorable project stands out: a home where they were brought in to take over after another contractor fell through. That first job blossomed into a lasting relationship with the homeowners and several follow-up projects. It’s a testament to their consistency and commitment to building trust. Today, the same home is being listed through their sister company, Complete Home Advisors with Platinum Realty, a clear example of the strong connections and client-focused values that define their family of businesses.

3. Quality Is Non-Negotiable

From prep work to final touch-ups, KB Painting is all about doing the job right the first time. “We don’t cut corners,” says Victoria. “We follow proven systems and stay in constant communication with our clients.” The team’s commitment to using top-quality materials, combined with meticulous attention to detail, results in finishes that not only look great but also last well beyond the average project lifespan.

One of the biggest compliments they receive is how clean the space is when the work is done. Clients also regularly note the friendliness and professionalism of the crew. “We want people to feel proud of their home when we leave,” Victoria says. “It should feel like their vision came to life.” This focus on both process and outcome is a big part of why clients return and refer others.

Their pricing is based on the type of service, materials required, and the scope of the job. They start with a free, thorough estimate and an informative quote, and they are always available to discuss the project from start to finish.

4. They’re Your Partner in Design–Not Just Painters

Choosing colors and finishes can feel overwhelming for many homeowners. That’s why KB Painting offers complimentary color consultations with every project. The team brings color decks, shares photos of past jobs for inspiration, and offers personalized guidance based on lighting, room size, and client style. They strive to make the decision-making process fun rather than frustrating.

Lately, they’ve noticed a trend toward warm neutrals and earthy tones. “We’re seeing a lot of soft whites and natural wood stains, especially on cabinets,” Victoria observes. “It creates a cozy, personalized look.” Helping homeowners navigate those decisions, and watching their excitement when the job is finished, is among the most rewarding parts of the work. It’s not just about painting; it’s about transformation.

5. Their Roots in Lawrence Run Deep

KB Painting doesn’t just serve the Lawrence community; they are part of it. They proudly work across Lawrence, Baldwin, Eudora, Olathe and Lenexa, building relationships with homeowners and professionals alike. Since taking over, the family has received unwavering support through referrals, repeat clients, and partnerships with local professionals. Collaboration is a cornerstone of their approach. Whether working with builders, designers, or fellow tradespeople, the team values relationships that keep projects running smoothly and clients satisfied every step of the way.

Through their sister companies–Complete Home Advisors and Complete Property Management–they also provide clients with a seamless experience from start to finish. Whether someone is preparing to sell, settling into a forever home, or renovating a rental property, KB Painting is part of a trusted network that helps people maximize value and minimize hassle. This integrated approach gives clients confidence as well as results.

Looking ahead, the team has no plans to slow down. They’re expanding their online presence with a new website, streamlining systems for even better service, and finding more ways to connect their painting, real estate, and property management services. “We want to make the process simple and seamless,” says Victoria. “And we want to keep doing it with the same personal, family-driven approach that’s gotten us this far.” Their eyes are on the future, but their values remain firmly rooted.
