As you may have guessed, Mark Hooper and Roger Phinnemore are family.  We come from a long line of painters, but they never thought that they would be carrying on the family tradition.  Here is how it all began.  The Phinnemore's have been in the painting business since the 1880’s when James Phinnemore and his sons Roy and Herb began painting residences and businesses in Toronto.  Mark and Roger’s Great Grandfather Herb began his own company, focusing on residential painting, in 1920.  H.H Phinnemore and sons became a prosperous business and soon Herb’s sons, Vic, Herb and Roger joined in the venture, followed by their sons.  In the 1980’s, Mark and Roger started painting as teenagers working for their Grandfather Herb, Uncles Roger and Steve Phinnemore and learning the business.  Through high school, and later university they painted in the summer to pay for school.  Eventually, what began as a great summer job or a skill to fall back on, turned into their livelihood.  Mark and Roger began Phinnemore and Hooper Painting in 2003.  Since then their business has been steadily growing, serving Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, and Scarborough areas.  They love to see the results of a beautiful paint job.  There is nothing like seeing the satisfaction of a customer when they come home to their house exactly how they left it, only it’s a different colour !  They  strive, just like those that went before them to give their customers the best paint job possible, with the least amount of worry.   I guess painting is in the blood after all.
