Phinnemore & Hooper Painting Contractors, Pickering, ON

Mark Hooper and Roger Phinnemore are cousins. They come from a long line of painters, but they never thought that they would be carrying on the family tradition.

Mark and Roger’s Great Grandfather Herb began his own company, focusing on residential painting, in 1920.
