Steve Smith Paints a Picture

Meet Steve Smith, Our Paint & Decorating Sales Manager!

Recently, we sat down with Steve Smith, our Paint & Decorating Sales Manager at Cardinal Home Center in Crozet. Steve’s expertise is paint, window treatments, tile, and flooring. An EXPERT in four categories are big shoes to fill, but when you spend eight years in commercial construction and home remodeling and 19 years at Cardinal Home Center, it’s easy to understand why Steve has earned the title.

We asked Steve what he enjoyed most in his job, and without hesitation, he added, “What I like most about working at Cardinal Home Center is the diversity of the projects. Being able to help a client complete a project successfully and have them return to thank you is a great feeling.”

Wow, Steve. Have time for anything else? Steve told us he occasionally gets to swing a few golf clubs, and then what? “Work on my house,” says Steve. “There’s always a honey-do list, and it keeps growing.”

We couldn’t let Steve get back to work without asking his advice on paint. What is an easy interior paint project around the house, and what do you need to do it? Steve recommends changing the color of a room. “It’s easy to tackle, and the supplies are basic: you’ll need Benjamin Moore paint (most important), a good brush, a roller, a drop cloth, and possible painter’s tape.” Thanks, Steve.
