Testimonials

“Wish every company was like this one. Great products, great prices, great people. Been a loyal customer for over 30 years. They even refer large contracts to my company. If I could give six stars it wouldn’t be enough. Every painting contractor needs to try their STORMCOAT product. The best acrylic stain I have found anywhere including Woodscapes or Arbor Coat. I would not even consider a different exterior product.” — T. S.

Client for 30+ years

“We have been a customer of FMI for over twenty years. In that time, I have had the opportunity to test and purchase coatings from all the major paint manufacturers. As regards to hiding, drying time, VOC’s and performance, I am convinced that FMI’s coatings are unsurpassed.” — Jim Bender, Plant Manager, Mill Services, Cobleskill, NY

Client for 20+ years

“We have been using Stormcoat acrylic stains for over 25 years. What originally was a 4 year painting cycle has been extended to 9 years, saving our association over 50% of their budget for painting. The coating is consistent, the color matching is excellent and our buildings still look good, even after 9 years! I would not hesitant to recommend any of the FMI products to any association.” — John Staley, Oronoque Village, Stratford, CT

Client for over 25 years

“I am one of the largest painting contractors in New England and I have the opportunity to specify any coating on any job that I am awarded. For over 20 years, I have changed countless condominiums from Sherwin Williams, Glidden, Benjamin Moore and others to FMI’s Stormcoat 100% acrylic stain. The service, color consistency and value are unbeatable! I can show jobs that I have done 15 years ago that look like they were just painted last year. This product is uniquely different than anything I can get from any of the major manufacturers.” — Tolis Serbegis, New Look Painting, Inc., Glastonbury, CT

Client for over 20 years

“I have been a customer of FMI for over 20 years and continue to be impressed with their products and service. Their coatings are of superior quality, and their warranty backs up their materials and even labor costs. From the office to the factory floor to the delivery, FMI’s staff is always helpful and goes out of their way to meet and exceed customer expectations.” — Steve Buschman, Quality Coatings

Client for over 20 years

“I run a multi-million dollar construction company that does everything from siding, roofing, windows, paving, etc. Any time I make the decision of which coatings to use I always turn to FMI. Especially their exterior products provide us with the comfort level we need, knowing that a company that’s been in business as long as they have need to be doing something special to compete with the national companies. Their whites hide better, their colors fade less, and the durability is the best I have ever seen. I can use anything I want but FMI is my supplier of choice.” — Sal Garfi, CFO

“We have been doing business with FMI for over 30 years and have found their product to be second to none. FMI is far superior to any other exterior product on the market. Friendly staff and prompt service is another reason we continue to work with FMI and would recommend them to contractors and homeowners alike.” — Cedar Ridge Remodeling
