NEW MEMBER PROSECT: NIKKO ARIES
NEW MEMBER PROSPECT: Nikko Aries, Aries Painting & Finishes
 
After a decade in the painting industry—including nine years as a store manager at Sherwin-Williams—I founded Aries Painting and Finishes to bring expert product knowledge and exceptional service directly to homeowners and businesses. I believe every project deserves the right materials, applied with care and precision. Reliability and attention to detail aren’t just values—they’re how we earn our clients’ trust, one coat at a time.
 
Nikko's sponsor is Joe Kirk.
