[Investment Painting Contractors]

Investment Painting Contractors is PROUD to announce it's 54th Birthday. IPC was formed at my kitchen table July 4th 1966 to help me pay for college. I took a semester off to paint a large apartment building in Detroit. I lost my deferment and was in uniform Sept 30th, 1966. I was in Vietnam by 1967. Returning state side in August 1968 stationed at a Nike site in Arlington Heights Illinois. With time left to serve and making $240 a month, I bought a old truck and having to be on duty in the daytime I got a contract painting gas stations over night. Hiring the Vietnam Vets I was stationed with I was able to keep buying trucks and expanding the company.

I finally got discharged and the company kept evolving into a National Painting Co. Painting hundreds of Taco Bells, Walgreens, K Marts Etc. Ending up in Milwaukee for 30 years as our central point and cutting our travels to the Midwest.

Along the way I established a tight crew, all kids including Chris who told me someday he would "OWN" the Company. Well now he does, and to our surprise he moved the company to Summerfield. For the last 13 years he and the guys have made us Very PROUD.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY INVESTMENT PAINTING Len & Mary The retired half.
