Trade Secrets Episode Two
Welcome to Trade Secrets, a look behind the curtain to the planning board of home remodeling and new build projects. In this series, Michael Baine, owner of Baine Contracting Inc., will invite trade partners in the industry that we work closely with to discuss their contributions to our building projects and recognizing their work. It’s a chance to see what the building process is truly like and to even learn about some trade secrets to keep in your back pocket for your own remodeling projects.
In episode 2, Michael talks with his guest Phil Fortuna, owner of Oceanside Painting, about his painting company’s business model of always prioritizing the importance of properly prepping materials and surfaces before the project even gets started, as well as taking pride in appreciating their sleek definite painting finishes. As a professional in his trade, Phil provides a beginners’ guide to the different types of painting finishes to select from and which ones are the best for every situation. Throughout this conversation, Michael and Phil take a closer look at his company’s overall painting process at his own personal shop, starting with the preparation and overall hard work that happens behind the scenes of a painting or refurnishing project.
