Andy Molshine talks about his business with pride and
enthusiasm. As owner of Summers Professional Painting, at 8897 SW 129
Terrace, Molshine has established a reputable painting company that
offers top notch service to government, commercial and high-end
residential clients.
Summers Painting is ready to paint seven days a week, 24 hours a day
off
Summers Painting has grown sevenfold since Molshine
bought the company from his stepfather Jim Summers, in the early
sixties.
Molshine's stepfather, Jim Summers, started the
business in 1959 and upon his retirement Molshine made a bid to
purchase the painting company.
At the time, Molshine was working in Eastern Airline's
accounting department and decided to switch gears and change careers.
Since then, Summers Professional Painting has secured working
relationships with big players such as Bell South, Florida Power and
Light, Victoria's Secret and the Catholic Archdiocese. At any given
time, the company works 40 job sites from Key West to West Palm Beach.
The sites are distributed into two divisions,
commercial and residential. The success of the commercial division is
attributed to the growth plan that Molshine implemented when he
assumed control.
Throughout the years, Summers Professional painting
has worked to build alliances with general contractors
and companies. Summers rarely advertises and acquires much of its work
through word-of-mouth recommendation from its clientele. "We credit our
success to the loyalty of our customers and it's something that we really
pride ourselves on," Molshine said.
He credits his staff for the company's success. Al Valdes, who serves as
Molshine's right-hand man, runs the crews and works with the customers. The
person in charge of Summers' fast-paced sales is Roland Macias. Together,
the trio keeps Summers on the cutting edge of the painting business.
Part of this edge is Summers extensive restoration work. The company helped
restore the Barnacle Historical Site in Coconut Grove, the Fairchild home
and the Wolfsonian Museum. This caliber of high-quality work helps explain
Summers high level of customer loyalty.
Despite his success, Molshine emphasizes the need to stay competitive in the
current business market. In the future, he hopes to continue his
alliance-building strategy and to attract more companies.
Molshine says this was a banner year and the company reached it's highest
level of revenues ever.
"Based on our current customer focus," he said, "we'll
hopefully continue to grow and service the surrounding community."
Summers Professional Painting is open seven days a week, 24 hours a day. For
