My start in the painting business began when I was a child. Although it seemed like punishment at that time, my
 grandmother put the first paint brush in my hand.  Upon graduating from high school, I became a member of the
 International Brotherhood of Painters and Paper Hangers and Allied Trades, known at that time as Local Union 6. 
 This is where I found my skills as a painter. I served  a three year apprenticeship at Allegheny Community College
 under the tutoring of a teacher by the name of Ted Zacoi a Master Painter.  I became like a sponge, absorbing
 all that he had taught me.  I went on to complete a three year apprenticeship and received a "Certificate of
 Completion" and became a Journeyman Painter, finishing as the top student in my class.   In my first year of school,
 I was placed with a company and remained there for about twenty years.  Working my way up through the ranks 
 I became a top foreman for the company.  I then decided to start my own company, establishing a good name for
 myself, which is very crucial when becoming succesful, good work habits, being on time, finishing in a timely
 manner and being neat and clean.  These are just a few basic princples of our company.

 We have painted places such as the Benudum, Mellon Arena(Civic Arena), the Liberty Bank building, the Luna
 Lofts, the Brake House Lofts and the Tambellini building, downtown Pittsburgh.  We have also painted homes such
 as Coach Cowers, Ben Rothlisberger's, Plaxico Buress, Duce Staley, and a few more steelers homes.  Also the    Director of the U.R.A., the Director of the Housing Authority, and many  more resdential homes  and commercial buildings   through-out the Greater Pittsburgh and surrounding areas.  We were recently featured in the Pittsburgh
Post Gazette, in the Better Homes and Garden section, under the title "Hot in Homestead" article.
