Tacoma Residential Painter

We sat down with Larry for a quick interview –

Why do you do what you do?

“After years of being in the industry, I knew I could stand out with my technique of being perfect. One job at a time.”

How did you get into this profession?

“I’ve always had an artist look at life. Painting became easy to start yet challenging enough to keep me interested.”

Being a painter, Larry works directly with many people, we asked him what’s the most unusual situation that ever happened to you on the job? “I was pressure washing someone’s house one day. Just getting finished up and everything was nicely done. The homeowner complained that the windows were not dry. Though I was happy to help dry them off, I was there to pressure wash the house. It got out of control when she got her ladder out and started drying them herself and showing me how. I learned I could be more perfect in that moment.“

If you could share one tip with the readers for choosing a professional painter, what would it be?

“Ask the painters the process of the entire job. Less experienced painters will not go into detail because they do not know the details it takes to have that professional job done. With Perfect Storm Painting, we walk you through the entire process and prove our perfection in our work. You’ll want to stand back and admire the work. At least that’s what we strive for. “
