Summary

Talented Painter with eye for detail and efficient approach. Offering 25+ years of experience in painting and repair work. Comfortable renewing aging structures and applying initial coats to new construction. Drywall repair, taping, and application of numerous textures and finishes are flawlessly achieved as all aspects of the painting trade is literally in my blood. My grandfather, father, and uncle all owned and operated their own painting companies dating back to the 1970's. I've been on the jobsite with a brush in my hand since the age of 12 and have used their guidance, knowledge, and experience to proudly continue their legacy in the quality of the craftsmanship that they have instilled within me.
