Rooker, Mattes and Linden Approved as Pro-X Certified Contractors(TM) by APV Engineered Coatings®
AKRON, OHIO - APV Engineered Coatings®, manufacturers of NeverFadeTM paint, has designated Ron Rooker, Kelly Mattes and Paul Linden as the first three Pro-X Certified Contractors(TM) in their company's new program.
Rooker, with Ron's Painting out of Ft. Myers, Florida, has successfully used the NeverFade paint on residential projects. Mattes, with Kelly Mattes Art in Cave Creek, Arizona, has used NeverFade on a commercial project. Linden, with Accent Painting in Carlsbad, California, has an upcoming home exterior that will use the paint. All three men and their companies are now approved to apply NeverFade exterior paint in their specific geographic areas.
"We're pleased that these three professional painters see the value for their businesses of participating in our Pro-X Certified Contractor program," says Erin Brown, marketing director for APV Engineered Coatings. "Being the first contractors in their respective states to offer NeverFade paint applications to homeowners and commercial projects provides them with a competitive advantage in their marketplaces."
Formulated with Kynar Aquatec® polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), NeverFade exterior paint is warranted against fading for 15 years and resists algae, fungus, stains and abrasions. The water-based paint is eco-friendly and has low VOCs.
"I was so impressed with this paint that I immediately signed up to become a Pro-X Certified Contractor in my area," says Kelly Mattes. "This paint has a creamy, rich texture that makes application splatter-free. Best of all, it covers evenly and looks terrific. The 15-year warranty is icing on the cake for both me and my customers."
All three painters plan to offer NeverFade paint as an exterior option to both homeowners and commercial projects in their geographic areas. "With the extreme weather conditions we experience throughout Florida, I can't imagine a longer-lasting paint than NeverFade," says Ron Rooker. "This product is an investment for a home or business that will pay off royally over the years."
As Pro-X Certified Contractors, all three men will receive strong marketing support from APV Engineered Coatings. Consumer marketing materials, publicity backing, website enhancements and project presentation packets are all available at no cost to Pro-X Certified Contractors from the manufacturer.
NeverFade paint may be applied to vinyl siding, PVC, wood, aluminum siding, stucco, masonry, and fiber cement surfaces.
