Marcus Freeman Talks Paint

Recently, we sat down with Marcus Freeman, our Paint & Sales Specialist at Cardinal Home Center. Before joining us at Cardinal a year and a half ago, Marcus was a team member with Blue Ridge Paint & Decorating. That’s a lot of paint experience. We asked Marcus what advice he has for customers about picking the right sheen/finish for their project? “Choosing a good quality product that is the right product for the right job,” Marcus shared. “Sheen, for easy cleanup or choose Eggshell or Pearl/Satin finish for interior walls. For hiding imperfections, Matte finish is the sheen for you.”

We then asked Marcus what he enjoyed most in his job, and without hesitation, he added, “The family and friendly environment at Cardinal Home Center. I appreciate every one of my coworkers who make work more enjoyable.” Marcus works at our Madison location, and Cardinal truly is all-in-the-family. His brother, Michael, works at our Crozet store.

When Marcus isn’t mixing paint, he enjoys spending time with family and friends, playing sports, singing, and serving in his church. And his favorite holiday memory? “My favorite holiday memory would have to be December 24, 2016. I became engaged to my beautiful wife,” Marcus added.
