What painting services does your business offer?
We offer commercial and residential painting, but we do a gauntlet of carpenter work, from sheetrock to removing popcorn ceiling to staining fences and deck. We do pretty much anything that isn’t structural.
How tough does the weather make it to paint?
To mitigate the heat we use Sherwin-Williams [paint] primarily. We ran into issues where different stucco was drying too quick in extreme heat. We try to paint early in the day; we don’t want to be painting in the middle of the day.
How busy do you keep with commercial projects?
We’ve done the Gateway Church in Grand Prairie and the Ashley Furniture store in Alliance. It is a tough market. Commercial development is still exploding in DFW. It is sometimes challenging to get where [pay] needs to be, but our guys are professionals in their craft, and we pay them more so it can be a challenge to meet in the middle [for cost].
How did you become a business owner?
I am a veteran of the United States Army, having served for over 10 years. I have been deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan, and also spent significant time on the United States-Mexico border conducting counter-narcotic and counter-human trafficking services. Becoming a business owner has been a dream of mine since I was a child, and I found the right fit [here] as it resembles a continuation of service.
