Approximately
fifteen years ago our son was restoring his Victorian house. When he tried
to remove the many layers of paint from his trim, he ran into problems. He
tried many of the paint removers and nothing he tried effectively removed
the many layers of paint. One day he saw a demo of Lightning Strip Paint
and Varnish Remover. The next time we visited him he said "Hey, Dad, look
at this!" He took a spray bottle of what looked like water to us and sprayed
it on his trim. Within minutes the paint had bubbled right before our eyes
and within 8-10 minutes all of the many layers of paint had been removed.
That's how Knute's
Restoration began!
We are often
asked where we got the name of our business. Knute was a nickname given to
Chuck by his grandfather shortly after his birth. A much loved uncle that
was still calling Chuck "Knute" was in poor health at that time. Because
of our love for Uncle Buck we named our business in his honor.
The name originally
referred to King Knute in the English History (thus the crown in our logo)
FYI: The "K" is pronounced in this name. |
