Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
30 years
What is your primary product or service?
Interior and exterior, residential and commercial painting.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I graduated from the University of Florida in 1980. While going to college, I worked for the owner of a small painting company. I enjoyed the work. My father owned rental property so I was used to physical labor while growing up and I played sports in school. I decided that I would enjoy the freedom and satisfaction that owning your own business allows. I was always a responsible sort, so with my education and the training that I received from my former employer, it was easy for me to schedule work, manage a jobsite, and make sure that my accounts and business dealings were handled properly. I wanted to keep my business small, but managed to obtain accounts with Alachua County and several local realtors, so I was off to the races. I have enjoyed a successful 30 years in Gainesville.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
I like to keep it simple. I am on every jobsite. I do not hire temporary workers or day-laborers. Unless it is a very large job, it is usually me and one other painter that has worked with me for years. On larger jobs, I bring on experienced painters that I have worked with for 10-20 years. My goal is always to perform every job as efficiently as possible. When I say I'll be there - I'm there. Because, I've been painting for over 30 years, I'm able to complete a job in an orderly fashion with the very least amount of inconvenience to the client. I stand behind my work. Most of my work is referral or repeat clients so it is very important for me to have a satisfied customer.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
I have one location with no plans to expand. My goal since I started my business back in 1980 was to keep it simple so that I can, personally, be on every job.
What type of payments do you accept?

What is the best compliment anyone can give you?

What is your favorite quote or Bible verse?
