— Co-Founder
“If you’re going to paint, you might as well be the best,” says master painter Tom Doran, Sr., whose hands-on industry experience established his family business, Paint-Tech Associates, Inc., as a leader in the fine interior preparation and painting world. He now brings that superior standard to Star-Tech.
Tom, Sr. studied fine-finishes, glazing, marbleizing, trompe l'oeil and color consulting at Day Studios in San Francisco. He founded Paint-Tech in 1981, focusing on large-scale high-end projects in Manhattan, Long Island and The Hamptons. His early career included specialty projects in Austria, Germany and The Netherlands.
In 2005, he established Paint-Tech’s Madison Avenue office—now home to Star-Tech—and shifted his focus toward business development and client relations. His sons, Tom IV and Chris, in time joined the family business, bringing executive and project management experience.
Throughout his career, Tom, Sr. has adhered to the old fashioned values of truth, loyalty and honesty. “This approach doesn't seem to exist much anymore,” he says, “but it’s a definite winner.”
