When Thayer's was named the winner of the 2026 Best of the Wabash Award for painting services, our first reaction wasn't to celebrate ourselves. It was to say thank you.
For nearly 50 years, homeowners and business owners throughout Greater Lafayette have trusted us to work on their homes and businesses, and being recognized by the community we serve is an honor that means more to us than any trophy ever could.
Built on 50 Years of Strong Work Ethic & Commitment to Quality
Thayer’s began in 1976 as a family-owned painting company, and since then, we’ve grown into a full-service general contractor serving Lafayette, Monticello, Kokomo, Lebanon, and surrounding areas.
While our services have expanded, our foundation hasn’t changed. We still believe in:
- Treating people with respect
- Communicating clearly
- Standing behind our work
- Delivering quality workmanship
We know the construction and home improvement industry hasn’t always earned trust. That’s why we’ve worked hard for decades to be the kind of company homeowners feel confident inviting into their homes.
Recognized for Interior & Exterior Painting
This award specifically highlights our residential painting and commercial painting services, and we’re especially proud of the teams who do this work every day.
From interior painting that refreshes living spaces to exterior painting that protects and transforms homes, our goal is always to do the job right and treat every home and business with care.
For property owners searching for the best painting company in Lafayette, Indiana, we hope this recognition reflects what our customers have experienced for years—reliable communication, careful workmanship, and results that last.
More Than a Painting Company
While painting remains at the heart of what we do, Thayer’s has grown into a full-service contractor that supports a wide range of home improvement needs, including:
- Roofing services and repairs
- Siding installation and repairs
- Kitchen remodels
- Bathroom remodels
- Custom home renovations and additions
- Commercial renovations
- Outdoor renovations
- And more
Whether it’s a small update or a full transformation, our focus stays on helping homeowners feel confident in every step of their project.
Our Thank You to Greater Lafayette
We are a family-owned company, now spanning three generations, with a team of dedicated employees who care deeply about the work we do and the people we do it for.
To everyone who voted for us in the Best of the Wabash Awards, trusted us with a project, or supported our team over the years—thank you.
We’re proud to receive this recognition, and we’re even more proud to continue serving the community that made it possible.
We look forward to many more years of improving homes and businesses and building relationships across Greater Lafayette.
