Jen S

Jen is an awesome person and an awesome painter (both of which are understatements).  We’re so glad to have her aboard.  She’s sweet, kind, thoughtful, and cares deeply about the work she does.  Sometimes she cares so much, we have to talk her off the ledge of concern and stress!   Truly, she is modest, yet so capable.  She has a can-do attitude and maintains a perfect balance of being serious about work and still making things fun.  When you get Jen on your job, rejoice!  She can do just about anything, and is true master of the trade.  We’re confident you’ll love Jen and we’re confident you’ll even request to have her back for more work when you’re ready!

From a recent questionnaire we implemented, here’s more about her in her own words!
