Meet the Owner
Joe has been painting since he was 20 years old. He learned the trade working for John Sommers Painting, where he built the habits that still define every job today: thorough prep, straight lines, and leaving a home cleaner than he found it.
He started Quality 1st Painting to serve the families and businesses of Newaygo County the way he would want his own home treated. When you call, you talk to Joe. When the work is done, he walks through it with you before he calls it finished.
