This online store arises out of seventeen years of personal experience in the painting trade. When the roofing contractor I worked for after high school walked off a garage roof leaving my cousin and myself out of work, I placed an ad in the local paper advertising my services as a painter. A painting contractor hired me and I have been painting ever since—for others and on my own—through my college years and continuing today. The trade has allowed me a good living with a flexible schedule and an opportunity to teach others and see real progress in my work. Over the years I have had to meet many challenges, one of them being the scarcity of specialized painting tools in small towns and rural areas, such as Northfield, Minnesota, where I live and work. In these areas the general store, hardware store, or lumberyard double as the paint store. While they normally offer good quality paints, their brushes and supplies do not meet the needs of the professional painter. So, trips to Minneapolis have always been interrupted by detours to the Big Paint Store, where I could never be sure how much I would have to spend, since I have never received catalogs or even a complete price sheet. The painting trade is entering a golden age. Few people are entering the trade, and fewer still are willing or able to work with their hands. The crunch is on, and todays professional painters and painting contractors deserve dedicated service.
