Hi,

My name is Patrick Lalonde and I'm a third year student at the Telfer School of Management at the University of Ottawa. This year is also my third year working with Student Works Painting in order to pay for next years tuition fees and school expenses. I am the General Manager for the Ottawa region, and I am working hard to ensure the Ottawa Area is serviced by the most highly trained and professional student painters.

Over the last few years with Student Works Painting, I have received multiple awards for my performance as a manager such as the 2010 Rookie Manager of the Year award, the 2011 Veteran Manager of the Year award and hold the all time record for the highest producing business in one season.

Kendra Botlon is a second year student at McGill University studying Economics and Finance. It is her second year working with Student Works Painting and she is the Owner/Operator of the Central Ottawa franchise. She is also a highly skilled painter and she will be on-site for every project to ensure complete customer satisfaction.

Starting in February, we will be carrying on the 31 year old tradition of Student Works Painting by initiating a student painting operation. During the preseason, from February through to May, we will be advertising our company's painting services and performing free job estimates; and beginning in May, we will be performing painting services in the Ottawa area.

In order to reach our goals once more this year, we will be providing the following value:

• Interior and Exterior Painting with top of the line Dulux paints and primers
• Exterior wood staining with top of the line FloodPro stains and protective formulas
• Thorough area preparation: scraping, sanding, patching, priming, and caulking
• Full clean-up at end of each day
• 3 year written guarantee
• Full workers compensation coverage (WSIB)
• $5,000,000 liability insurance coverage
• Full payment only upon project completion
• 93% Customer Satisfaction Rate
• Conscientious , carefully-trained student painters
• Enviromentaly friendly products available
• National Sponsor of the MS Society of Canada

Over the last 2 years, our franchises have managed to donate over $3000 to the MS society of Canada, and our goal for this year will be to donate 1500$ to this great organisation. Together im sure that goal can be reached!

Our Painting Estimate Process

Where do you go from here?

Start by applying for an estimate by quickly filing out our online form. It takes only a few seconds and once complete, Patrick or Kendra will be able to contact you for your free estimate. You will usually receive a call back within an hour of submitting your application, however, in case of an unusually busy day, call backs may sometimes take up to 8 hours. From there, an estimate will be scheduled where all issues will be dealt with concerning timing, cost, and any other details that may need to be dealt with. Although our estimates may be slightly longer than the usual estimate, you will be provided with a full written quote on the spot! Talk about rapid service!

On the day of the estimate, you will also be offered a 10% discount for booking your job on the spot. This discount is offered simply because it provides our clients with the opportunity to save while saving us the time involved in follow up and eliminating the uncertainty of work, therefore allowing us to know exactly how busy we'll be come the summer.
