Custom Designers Inc

For Terry Evans, painting became more than a trade. It became a way to build a business centered around family values, dependable work, and treating people with respect from start to finish. What began with Terry, his wife, and one employee, who is still with the business today, gradually grew over the years through consistency, accountability, and a strong commitment to doing things the right way.

Before starting Custom Designers Inc, Terry worked as a welding inspector and spent much of his time traveling. Wanting to stay closer to home and family pushed him toward a different path. Painting was something he had enjoyed since his building trades classes in high school, and over time he decided to build something of his own. Rather than trying to expand too quickly, the business grew one step at a time. A new van here, a few more painters there, all while holding onto the same standards that helped establish the business in the beginning.

Today, much of the work focuses on residential new construction, along with interior and exterior painting projects for homeowners and some commercial spaces. Terry has built systems that help keep crews aligned from one project to the next, with crew leaders overseeing the work and quality control remaining a major priority throughout the process. Customers are never meant to feel left wondering what is happening with their project. Terry believes showing up when scheduled, keeping people informed, and following through on commitments matters just as much as the finished work itself.

That approach has shaped the experience customers often describe when working with Custom Designers Inc. People appreciate the professionalism of the crews, the attention to detail, and the respectful way projects are handled inside and outside the home. Whether the work involves repainting a few rooms or completing a larger new construction project, the goal stays the same: provide reliable workmanship while making the process feel organized and straightforward.

There is also a strong focus on helping employees grow into confident professionals. Many people come into the trade without much experience, and Terry enjoys watching them develop skills, confidence, and pride in what they do over time. Even after decades in business, he still approaches each year with the mindset of getting 1% better each day, a philosophy that continues to shape how Custom Designers Inc serves its customers today.
