I'm a third-generation Painter. Father gave me a paint brush and roller and told me to work at the age of 10 .I've been painting pretty much my whole life besides working at the paint store in high school. Then two years working at TheTrainyard driving heavy machinery but like painting and became good at it from doing residential and drywalling with my dad. It's hard working with family so I started my company at the age of 22. I wrote every contractor in the phonebook if they would give me the opportunity to bid on one of their projects. A half a dozen called but I stuck with Two very well known GC because there was no cutting corners and everything ran so smoothly. I learned a lot from them which is why I can run jobs with different subs, on top of painting. I came in at the peak of new construction doing majority of Feather Rock, Ellendale farms, Morningside and many more. Back then a lot of people stayed busy by word of mouth. I built a good name in a short period of time and started landing big government jobs, industrial work, small Clinics, even big facilities like bone and joint Institutes, nursing homes in a lot of fast food and gas station chains. Worked right through the housing crash with 12 guys. I built up repeated clientele.I love information and learning new things from taking classes for faux finishes, Getting into wallpaper hanging, insurance work, fire restoration and water damage work, refinishing pools in the school, Refinishing epoxy floors, refinishing antiques and furniture. I even enjoyed the marketing and sales side of owning the company. I started forming and fuax finishing concrete countertops.I can really see a good market in them and enjoy doing them. If Trying to look up my company, I set up all my social media myself but hired someone to update it but instead getting ripped off a lot of money and after calling them out they deleted all my work. My Facebook business page Final Touch Decorating in Crown Point wasn't touched.
