When it comes to redecorating, Hometown Paint in Franklin has you covered – from wallpaper to window treatments. But when the time came to expand his business, owner John Chaffee had more in mind than a coat of paint – he wanted to purchase and renovate a 14,000-square-foot building. So he called his friends at Dean Bank.

“It was a big deal for me, as well as for the bank,” Chaffee says. “But the people at Dean went out of their way to do it. They jumped through a lot of hoops to make it happen.” The difference is the personal relationship, Chaffee says.

“I know for a fact some other banks would not have done the deal,” he says. “But the people at Dean make decisions based on you as a person. They had faith in me. That really gives you confidence.”

A Dean customer since 1984, Chaffee says this approach to banking may be unusual – but it’s not unusual for Dean Bank.

“I treat everyone the way I would like to be treated, and the people at Dean Bank have the same philosophy,” Chaffee says. “Hey, that’s what business is all about, right?”
