Default Investment Painting Contractors 55th Birthday

55 Yrs ago on the 4th of July 1966, Investment Painting was born at my kitchen table in suburban Detroit. I had my first big contract and needed the money for school. When I wasn't enrolled in school by august, I ended up in the Army by Sept, 30th.
After Vietnam I was released from the army in Illinois. I used my travel money to buy and old truck, hired a bunch of Vietnam Vets and went back to work. We were soon painting Shopping centers, High rise office buildings Etc.
After finishing a contract in Florida I went to visit a friend in Milwaukee. Got there on a Sunday and had a contract on Monday. We branched out and became National Painters. We painted hundreds of Taco Bells, K Marts, Burger Kings & Walgreens Thru out the Country.
For the next 30 years we worked out of Wisconsin. I never laid a man off. I had a crew of young guys who could travel. Chris Gibbs grew up on the Truck and has been the "New Owner" for the last 14 Yrs.
Mary and I are very Proud of Chris, and all that he has accomplished. We hope the company will continue to thrive, and would like to "Thank all of you for your "Support"
