Since 1905, when we first opened our doors on Front Street in Memphis, Tennessee, Farrell-Calhoun Paint has been the favorite of professional painting contractors. And for good reason – we have been dedicated to working with our customers to give them the quality products they need to ensure a superior paint job.
Still family owned and operated, Farrell-Calhoun remains focused on producing premium products that leave a lasting impression. Our commitment to quality and dedication to the customer has enabled Farrell-Calhoun to grow from a small two-store operation to 47 company-owned stores and a dealer network that encompasses 17 states.
The focus on quality began at the top of our organization with John A. Ward, Jr., President/CEO for 49 years. Being a chemist, he was committed to research and development to ensure that only the highest quality paints were labeled with our signature “Impressionist” Farrell-Calhoun label. Our current research lab is one of the largest in the industry relative to the size of our company, and that has allowed our dedicated chemists to utilize the latest technology to formulate some of the most innovative products on the market today.
Many of these paints are made with a unique cross-linking resin system that gives the coating superior performance when compared with traditional products. Superior blocking resistance, adhesion, durability, washability, color and gloss retention as well as outstanding touch-up are hallmarks of the Green Wise products. These properties add to the sustainability of the coating by decreasing the need for frequent repainting and reducing future emissions and solid waste.
