On The Job

In 1923, Bernhard Ludwig Radden came to America from Hamburg, Germany. In 1934, Bernhard Ludwig Radden, the patriarch of the Radden company, set his goals on being Central Kentucky’s foremost painting and decorating contractor. While many other painting and decorating contractors have come and gone since 1934, we still strive to provide the same quality workmanship and service that would have made our founder, B.L. Radden, proud of the tradition he established.
