A note from Tom Bob:
As owner of Tom's Home Repair and Painting, I'd like to say that I'm first and foremost a painter at heart. Of all the tools I've worked with, nothing feels as natural to me as a brush. I guess it comes from my family’s artistic background. It's just amazing to watch something you’ve worked on so hard suddenly come to life after all that preparation. It’s very gratifying.
I started 30 years ago as a union painter in the local #53. During my 10 years of employment there, I was picked up by a furniture maker, stripping and refinishing fine furnishings--I even learned to build a few pieces. The boss broke away from the union and took me with him to remodel houses as a foreman. I’ve always done odd jobs in the neighborhood--since I was a kid--so I did that on the side quite often as well. Later I took a job for a major builder (Pogue) painting schools as a foreman for Jonsco, Inc. We did all the tape embed, texture, prime paint and graphics on over a dozen schools, hospitals, nurseries etc. working throughout McKinney, Allen, Melissa, Lovejoy, Lucas, and Rockwall.
I started Tom’s Home Repair seven years ago in order to spend more time with my family. Since then, I’ve been blessed with what we now call a “family owned business.” With my son right there by my side eight hours a day and my daughter attending CCCC in McKinney for decor and design, my dreams are slowly becoming a reality. All the prep is worth the wait.
I'm known as the "Home Town Handy Man" at the Chamber of Commerce in Allen. I love being involved in the community and networking with neighbors and local businesses. And I tell ya, "if I can’t fix it, I know someone who can."
Well… Enough about me. Let’s hear from you! Call me on my cell at 469-396-4421. Our family’s ready to help in any way we can to maintain and protect your family’s home or just give it a splash of fresh color to keep things interesting.
Thank you!
Tom Bob, owner
