Kevin Kalberg, Claffey's Painting
Growing up in a rural part of Renton Kevin developed a passion for the atmosphere of
small towns with rural character. When searching for a home Maple Valley was a natural choice.
From day one it just felt like he was home. His formal education led him to Central Washington
University where he graduated with a BS in Business Administration with an emphasis in small business management.
During college Kevin moved through the ranks with a moving and storage company until he reached the
position of controller. In early 2000 he left the moving and storage business to join the management
team of Claffey's Painting. At the time Claffey's had 50 employees and modest sales. Today their sales
have more than doubled and currently have 130 employees and operate in 10 counties across the state.
Kevin also brought to Claffey's a belief that involvement and community service should be part of the
culture in every business. He serves on many boards and commissions including North Bend's Economic Development
Commission, the East King County Chamber of Commerce Legislative Coalition, his homeowners association board of
directors, and the executive board of the Snoqualmie Valley Chamber of Commerce to name a few. Claffey's
also partners with and gives time and resources to a number of charities and service organizations with a belief
"to whom much is given much is expected". He believes that a strong business environment is the anchor for
a healthy, active and successful community. Kevin lives in Elk Run with his wife and 3 kids. He is excited
for what the future holds and the direction the Chamber is heading and looks forward rolling up his sleeves
and helping in any way he can.
