Freedom:  Being independent means we have the freedom to bring the best product to our customer, regardless who makes it.

Stability:  Consistent growth over the past four decades is a testament to our commitment to be a leading supplier of architectural, commercial and industrial coatings.

Brand Diversity:  We carry Benjamin Moore Paints and PPG Paints in addition to Spec-Pro® and Empress® (our private label contractor and premium paint lines).  We also distribute lacquers, stains and specialty coatings from other manufacturers in order to provide our customers the broadest and most complete offering of paint and related products.

Problem Solving:  We know that no two businesses are alike.  Our independence allows us to create custom solutions and quick response times while providing best in class customer service.

Flexibility: We don’t implement firm policies on deliveries (like time and minimum order restrictions). We strive to meet every customer’s demands.
