Interior Painting
Walls, ceilings, trim, doors, and cabinets. I patch and prime before I paint, so the finish lays flat and stays that way.

2nd Generation Craftsman
Serving Memphis, Bartlett and surrounding communities with dependable workmanship for projects big and small.
After
Before
I started in this trade at 16, working alongside my father. He taught me to prep before I paint, to find out why the wood rotted before I replace it, and to buy the better material even when the cheaper one is sitting right next to it on the rack. I still work that way.
I spent my career with the Bartlett Fire Department and retired as a Captain. I kept the family trade going the whole time.
More about RandyThere's a difference between a paint job that looks good the day the check clears and one that still looks good in eight years. I know how to build the second one.
Everything on this list is something you can watch me do, or check afterward. That's on purpose.

Siding, soffits, fascia, and trim. Memphis weather is hard on paint, so I prep the surface and use coatings built to take sun and humidity.

Offices, storefronts, and rental property. I can work evenings and weekends so your business keeps running.

Hanging, finishing, and repair. Water stains, nail pops, cracked corners, and holes, matched to the texture you already have.

Soft trim around windows, doors, and rooflines. I cut out the rot, find what let the water in, and replace the wood with material that won't rot again.

Most of what a house needs. If it's carpentry, drywall, or paint, I can handle it, and I'll tell you straight if it's a job for a specialist.
Learn moreCheap material is the most expensive thing you can use on a project, because you end up paying for the labor twice. Here's what I buy and where I buy it.
This is where I get MiraTec treated exterior composite trim. It comes preprimed, resists moisture, rot and termites, and carries a 50-year warranty.
Where I buy LP SmartSide and SmartTrim. LP makes it, 84 Lumber is the yard that stocks it for me. Engineered siding and trim, treated to resist moisture, fungal decay, and termites. Those are the three things that kill standard pine trim in this climate, and the SmartTrim carries a 50-year limited warranty.
A cellular PVC window from Central Woodwork. Every part of it that sees weather is PVC instead of wood, so the frame can't rot out at the sill the way a wood window does, and the PVC carries a 20-year warranty. Where I've replaced rot once, I don't want to replace it again.
Where I source flooring — carpet, hardwood, tile, laminate, vinyl. They're wholesale and trade-only, so it isn't a store you can walk into; the material comes through my account, at wholesale. Their showroom is on Appling Road in Bartlett, so you can go stand on a floor before you pick it.
Two lines, two different jobs. Duration goes on walls and siding, and carries a lifetime limited warranty, which means the manufacturer will stand behind it. Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel goes on trim, doors and cabinets — it dries harder, and it won't amber the way an oil enamel does, so white trim stays white.
My father had one rule I never got away from: don't leave a job you wouldn't want somebody to see with your name on it. That's why I prep before I paint, find out why the wood rotted before I replace it, and buy the better material even when the cheaper one is sitting right next to it on the rack.
I'm the one who comes out to look at the job and the one who does it, so there's nobody to hand you off to afterward. Walk it with me before I load the truck. If something isn't the way you wanted it, say so and I'll make it right — I'd rather hear it then than have you look at it every day afterward and wish you had.
