Andy Poirier | Owner
I started my career with my dad, who is a professional painter, at the age of 15. He slowly taught me everything he knew about painting. I’ve never seen painting as a job but more as a passion. In post-secondary, I studied architecture for a year, then soon realize I wanted to return to my career as a painter. My brief foray into architecture was not wasted time, as I have now a valuable skill in understanding how to read drawing plans.
Since then I have successfully completed and received my diploma in Business. During that time, I worked for a pine shop for two years. It was here that I learned the art of staining and varnishing floors, furniture, baseboards, and trim.
At the age of 20, I moved to Alberta from Quebec and have spent the last five years establishing myself in Calgary. I work for Ryan, the previous owner of this company for five years and for the last two years I was his project manager. For me, Alberta life is fantastic. I get to enjoy the mountains and all the outdoors activities it holds. I love to go hiking, camping, and snowboarding.
I am thrilled to say that I am now the new owner of Neighbourhood Painters and I can’t wait to meet you and help you with any and all your painting needs.
