FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
While I was in college to be an Engineer I painted dorm rooms for spending money. Back then minimum wage was $1.15 an hour and I was making $50 a day. I decided I can always come back to school and chose to learn the painting trade. I hooked up with a great teacher that in 2 years had taught me everything there was to know at the time, about the painting trade. The rest I learned on the fly as a painter and a businessman running a painting business
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Repaint a home to get it on the market, repaint a home that was just bought, or freshen up a home by changing the color.
- Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I bought some discontinued 2 panel shutters at Lowe's for $3 each and I cut them up and made the correct size shutters for one of my customers. Because they were so cheap, I made them in my shop in my garage after work, it was a learning experience, and she was such a good customer, I didn't charge her for them.
