Daphne and I enjoy the fact that we own a business where we can help others. It is because of our great employees and our customers that we can give back to the community. We enjoy seeing our employees grow as artisans and leaders of their homes. We hope in all we do you see how God is working through us to demonstrate his love, mercy and grace to us all.
Meet Chad!! Chad has quite a bit of experience with painting, drywall and some carpentry. He has been a great asset to us and is starting to take on the role of job and crew leader. A great attitude is definitely high on his list of reasons you will enjoy the time he is helping in your home.
Meet Anthony! Anthony is another great addition that came in the midst of Covid! He actually called us looking for work, and has been a great addition to the team, recently promoted to Lead Painter. As he has performed well with the painting and looked for other aspects of our services. He is now training as a wallpaper installer!
You may know Nathan, you may not, Nathan, our 3rd oldest has worked for us off and on since he was 17, summers, holiday breaks, before coat guard and now on select days off from Mt. Prospect fire Dept.
If you would have asked me 2 years ago if we would be using independent contractors- I would have scoffed to say the least.
But times change, and so must we in this rapidly evolving market of available workers. We Have struggled since Covid hit to keep enough people on staff and meet the demands of our customers. With much resistance on my part, we started vetting independent contractors to help us with painting.
I should have done this years ago, as we hindered ourselves and you- our customers, by restricting how long it took to get to the job sites, the time to have the work completed, and the ability to help more people. This has been a blessing for us, and look forward to showing the benefit and blessing to you as well by offering more options on how many people can be on a job site as well as helping us be more competitive.
So what are we doing? Is there a secret?
Yes- using the Golden rule and doing our best to treat other people as we would want to be treated. Even though these great people are independent contractors with their own tools, schedules, insurance etc., we treat them as part of our family of employee workers.
Each contractor is given the same work orders, expectations, materials that we have been using to build our brand. The still must follow the bullet points of what we say we will do. You can also rest assured that we still perform Local, State and Federal background checks, and make sure that each of our employees as well as front office staff are approving of the contractors before we sent them to your home or business.
We have handpicked each of them from a growing list of people wanting to work for D’Franco Painting and Wallpaper, selected for their passion and skill, complementing our artistic endeavors.
If you have not met Jose yet your in for a treat. He is a dedicated and hard worker who is proving himself every day as a blessing for us to have as part of our team of craftsmen!
We have been blessed to find Isreal who not only does an amazing job with wallpaper but can do some of our smaller paint jobs as well!
Beau and his team of 3 are just awesome. The are great at their jobs to deliver great result
Not to be confused with our son who is not painting with us any longer- for some reason, he thought robotic software engineering was more interesting. Anyway, Colto has been a great addition for us to help with interior and exterior painting projects
Say Hey!! We were able to hire Luis this year as as part of our expansion to hire more painters to help us keep us with the painting jobs we have. He wanted to keep painting houses, so here he is!! He is great at Exterior painting, and Interior Painting
Ole- (Oleksii). Has shown his experience and attention to detail and small and large jobs. He may be a single operator but it has not stopped him from taking on some of the larger jobs we come across. Hard working and quiet- you may have to check to see if he is even in the house!!
