How’s business: Business is doing well. More people are remodeling and sprucing up their homes on the inside and out.

Something you offer that a customer won’t find elsewhere: We take care of all the little details from moving the furniture to a complete cleanup afterward — that together with our professional painting service makes us a top-notch company.

Your role model (in business or in life generally): Jesus Christ

The key to a successful business is: Give your customers fair and honest prices. Be reliable and do what you promise to do.
