The following is a paid presentation, advice and opinions expressed during the Sunday sip are solely that of the hosts or guests and not WTMJ Radio or good karma brands Milwaukee LLC. I'm Vince Picrano and this is the Sunday sip we're talking home improvement today and I have with me our great partners from today painting Garrett Martell is the owner of the company. Great to see you Garrett. Great to see you too. Thanks for having me on. Let's talk about this is the season for exterior paint. I'll start there and then I'll back up and tell my story because I had you folks out to do some wonderful work inside my house. But what are we looking for on the exterior of the home right now that tells you it might be a good idea to get you folks out there? Well, the top thing is to look for a peeling paint, a failed or cracking caulk and rotting wood. If you fail to address these things and it continues to get worse it could be a more expensive problem, water could get into the home, cause more damage. So we always highly recommend once you start seeing that that you can look at. And this is the busy season. You got room for some more people? We do. Yep. Yeah, we definitely got room. But yeah, this is the next six months is where we were shine. I'm going to bring folks inside because I did something that I have never done before and I paid someone else to paint the interior of my house and I think a lot of people are probably like me Garrett because you can paint. I mean, I can paint, I kind of actually enjoy it. The work that I had two day painting do at my house is extraordinary. I just told you, we had folks over the other day, they couldn't stop talking about it. It looks like adults live at my house. The difference between a professional job and what I've been able to do is really remarkable. Yeah, I'm glad to hear that. Tell me why there's that difference. I mean, what do you all do? What kind of people do the work for two day painting that makes that difference? Well, we have experienced craftspeople, they're trained to do straight lines, protect everything really well, do the right kind of prep, the right kind of finish where you're not going to see brushstrokes and lines and you can confirm. Right. So the woodwork your crew did. We had the crown moldings done and other things. There's another area where there's just no way when I look at what they were able to do. Yeah, it takes a lot of skill, especially on the woodwork on the inside of a home to do it right and make it look really good. The other thing I enjoyed about two day painting on our project was I needed some light carpentry done. There's some sealing damage in one spot. You know, because the team came out and we talked about a vision for our living space. We had this little half wall that separated the kitchen from the dining room. My wife desperately wanted that gone, bothered her from the day we moved in. What I loved about two day is we were able to work that whole project through you and through your team as opposed to bringing in outside people before we painted. Yeah, we're happy to offer carpentry, driveover, pair, hour washing, all the stuff that goes along with painting to make sure that you don't have to hire anyone else. The other great thing is having you in our home, I remember you came over, Eric came over, we later met with our personal color consultant as well, but having the team from two day to come out and help us, sometimes you don't know what you don't know. Like, I don't know is this possible to be able to ask those questions and to have you and for me and for my wife, it was super important to know that she was being listened to, that she was being heard, and then that you were going to help us work through, you know, what we were dreaming about. Yeah, we appreciate that. We really do focus on the customer service and having a great customer experience. We think we have the best reputation of any painter within the area and the main reason why is we offer a lot of things that a lot of painters don't. So from the very beginning, our project consultants are highly skilled to, you know, recommend the best solutions, the right products for your situation, the right preps that are less as long as possible and looks as good. Our color consultants are very skilled to help you find the right vision for your home. We have active project management and they check in on the project very frequently, inspect, make sure that everything is going well and address anything that's not. And at the end of the project, we even offer free touch-ups for life. John was my personal project manager and I recall him, you mentioned that making some suggestions real time through the course of the project. Look, we found this. You had said you wanted it like this. Come back and look at that again. Let's see if maybe we might want to do it different or we can do it how you had it, but like in real time, once the project got going to be able to have John there and take us through that, make some of those changes was really important. It makes all the difference in a project. Most painting companies don't have a highly trained active project manager and projects don't go according to plan. Having someone on staff that is your advocate on the project, that is trained to make sure that the quality is there, that the customer service is there, that we're protecting everything that we need, that communicates throughout the job and it makes all the difference in a smooth experience. Make us through the name, two day painting. I know not every job is two days, but you do throw everything you have at every job. Yeah, we try your best and we never promise that any jobs are done in two days. We never rush a job or cut any corners so that they are done, but what we do is we cater the size of the crew and to the size of the job and work full continuous days until it's complete to make it as convenient as possible for you. Talking with Garrett Martell, he is the owner of two day painting. You know, folks want to know they're doing business with good people, Garrett. I know there are a number of charitable efforts that you and that your company engage in that are important to you and to folks in the community. Yeah, we really try to do a lot for charity and the community. This past winter, we repainted Hawes, the local Humane Society. We did a lot of work for them on painting and carpentry and built a lot of cat shelters and dog ramps and dog toys and we also painted over a hundred rooms within the community for people who need.

I appreciate that. Thank you. Garrett Martell, owner of two day painting. I'm Vince Vitrano and this is the Sunday SIP.
