Painters East Tennessee Homeowners Trust: Odd Man Out Handyman
Odd Man Out Panting with Low VOC paint
When it comes to transforming a home, few things make as big of an impact as a fresh coat of paint. Whether you’re brightening a living room, refreshing a kitchen, or giving your entire home a new look, painting has the power to completely change how a space feels. For homeowners across Maryville, Friendsville, Tellico Village, and Knoxville, our painting team — Merv and Chris — has become the go‑to duo for results that look clean, polished, and truly professional.
What sets them apart isn’t just their skill. It’s their personality, their pride in their work, and their shared belief that details matter. Both Merv and Chris are incredibly particular — the kind of painters who won’t walk away from a wall until it’s exactly right. But if there’s one person who lights up the moment a paintbrush hits the wall, it’s Chris. Painting is his favorite part of the job, and it shows in every room he touches.

Why Painting Matters So Much in East Tennessee Homes
Homes in East Tennessee have a charm all their own. From the cozy neighborhoods of Maryville to the peaceful lakeside homes in Tellico Village, the right paint can highlight the warmth and character that make this region special. But painting here also comes with its own challenges — humidity, seasonal temperature swings, and older home construction can all affect how paint adheres and ages.
That’s why having painters who understand the area makes such a difference. Merv and Chris know East Tennessee homes inside and out. They know which products hold up best, how to prep surfaces properly, and how to deliver a finish that lasts through every season.
Chris: The Painter Who Truly Loves the Craft
Chris is the kind of painter who doesn’t just do the job — he enjoys it. He loves the transformation, the process, and the satisfaction of seeing a room come to life. That passion shows in his work. He’s incredibly particular, paying attention to the smallest details: crisp lines, smooth finishes, even coverage, and colors that look exactly the way the homeowner imagined.
Homeowners in Maryville and Knoxville often comment on how easy Chris is to work with. He listens closely, communicates clearly, and genuinely wants every project to turn out beautifully. Whether he’s painting a single accent wall or an entire home, he approaches each job with enthusiasm and pride.
Merv: The Steady, Skilled Craftsman

Merv is just as particular as Chris — and that’s a big part of why their work stands out. He’s the one who makes sure every surface is properly prepped, every repair is handled, and every step is done the right way. Painting is only as good as the foundation behind it, and Merv takes that responsibility seriously.
Homeowners in Friendsville and Tellico Village appreciate Merv’s consistency and professionalism. He shows up ready to work, keeps the jobsite clean, and brings a calm, steady presence that makes the entire process smooth and stress‑free. His experience shines through in the way he handles tricky surfaces, older walls, and detailed trim work.
