Who shows up at your house

Todd Merriott
Owner
Todd taught school before he ever picked up a brush. Then he built a painting company of his own and ran it for years, which is its own kind of education.
A move to Florida put him in real estate for a while. Painting won. He came back in 2024 and bought Unique Painting KC from the man who built it, who still keeps a hand in the place.
Todd grew up in Independence and lives in Lee’s Summit with his wife and their two kids. This is his hometown metro, and these are his neighbors’ houses.

Chad Adams
Estimates
Twenty years with the Kansas City, Kansas fire department, and twenty years painting houses. Chad still does both, which tells you most of what you need to know about him.
He is the one who calls you back when you ask for a price, and the one standing in your kitchen working out what it will take. Ask him anything. He has seen it.
The sister company
Unique Remodeling KC is the other half of the company. Our team has done over 240 remodels around Kansas City in the last 7 years. Kitchens, baths, basements and whole homes are theirs. Painting is ours, and so are new siding and new windows, which are sold on this side.
If you asked us about a kitchen and we started talking about cabinets being painted rather than replaced, that’s why. Sometimes paint is the right answer and sometimes it’s not, and we would rather say so.
