Expert Profile: Tim Hoeffel

Expertise:  I've been a self employed painting contractor since 2003. The emphasis of my business is to provide my clients with better looking, longer lasting results for their paint and stain needs. I can answer most questions about paint and stain issues, and some drywall, with real world experience.

Experience in the area
6yrs as self employed painter. 90% residential repaints. Strengths are in service, details and quality application of high grade products.

Organizations
Springs of Life Church

Publications
www.betterpainting.wordpress.com

Education/Credentials
Certified by Sikkens, BFA and MDiv. It's a little over-kill for a painter, but sometimes things work out differently than you expect.
