SUMMIT COUNTY, Utah, Feb. 16, 2024 (Gephardt Daily) — Park City Painting is earning five-star reviews from some of the most discerning customers in the state, especially in Summit and Wasatch County, where clients who want to preserve the value of large investment homes are looking for the best in interior and exterior painting, wood refinishing and restoration.

And they have no reason or need to settle for less than the best, says Park City Painting’s founder. He points to recent reviews as evidence of jobs well done.

  • “We were amazed by the job Park City Painting did, and we are not easy to amaze,” one happy customer wrote online, with her glowing review.
  • “They were professional, respectful of our property, friendly and just good at what they were doing. They taped and tarped the house and yard extensively to avoid any mishaps,” wrote another.
  • “He is wonderful. He is on top of it. He is responsive,” wrote a third.

That “he” would be founder/owner/operator Scott Simons, who has run Park City Painting with pride and integrity for more than 45 years. He keeps his highly trained workers fully booked through the warmer months, but winter can be slower, so he’s offering a special winter discount to customers including those outside Summit County, to keep his master painters busy and to share their top skills with new audiences.

And any customer who wants less than the best is free to look elsewhere.

“We want that customer basically for life,” Simons said. “We’re a little picky about what kind of customers we have. It’s important to have good customers. Let us tell you what we’re going to do to your house and trust us to do it. And if you can’t do that, then don’t hire us.”

Park City Painting offers painting, staining, deck refinishing, stucco repair, power washing, siding and more. It also offers a maintenance plan for a monthly fee, making small repairs as needed so major repairs aren’t required down the road.

“We take pride in the exterior paint we apply and only use the best paint formulas and techniques to ensure you get satisfactory results,” the company website says. “We ensure that your exterior painting job stands the test of time and that the harsh Park City winters won’t ruin the appearance of your home’s siding.”

“When it comes to local painters, Park City Painting is committed to being the best painting company around.”

Simons has fond memories of his Utah childhood, and especially remembers wowing his fellow students in a shop class.

“Once I built the doghouse, then I stained it. And everybody says ‘How do you know how to do all that?’ And I thought, ‘Man, I am stunned that nobody knows how to do that and I do.'”

Simons always enjoyed the artistry of painting and refinishing, but ended up working at Kennecott Copper. He worked there for four years, “between layoffs and strikes and stuff like that,” he said.

But Simon began to realize he would rather work for himself than punch a timecard, and build a top-notch business on principles he could be proud of.

“So I quit Kennecott, and my dad lost his mind,” Simons recalled, laughing. “He says ‘you can’t quit the best job in the whole state!’ So I started this, and I am making more money than I did at Kennecott.”

He worked with a partner for years, but they parted ways after a clash of lifestyles, and Simons began anew with Park City Painting. His strong religious beliefs allows him to focus on high standards and productivity, he said.

“We want our workers to be complete in what they are doing and to do it in the proper way,” Simons said. “There’s a sign behind me that says the last 10% is 90% of the work.”

And Simons treats his workers with respect, and says his favorite part of his job, over the years, has been the opportunity to mentor people who were interested, and to “really help people make right decisions, you know, because there’s so a lot of temptations out there that lead people away from the right direction, the right path.”

High standards are the secret both to a good life and to good business, he said.

An online reviewer summed up the service:

  • “Seriously, I was blown away. Great company, great people, doing absolutely great work. It was such a pleasure doing business with mature professionals for a change. Needless to say we would hire them again in a New York minute, and probably will.”
