My start in the painting business was eye-opening because I became privy to the poor communication and inherent lack of respect rampant throughout the trades. It made it easy to understand why the negative stereotypes of tradespeople exist and why we tend to dread having them in our homes.
Soon, a cartoon lightbulb lit up over my head— my retail background had empowered me with the tools and awareness necessary to overhaul the entire client experience in the painting industry. So, in 2006, I founded Powell Painting with a pathological determination to deliver exceptional painting service to the Lower Mainland.
