The shop celebrates its 16th year in business on May 31 all thanks to you!

I've been holding off on a big decision for quite awhile now in hopes it wouldn't become necessary.

Like most friends though, it's increasingly tough to keep up with ever-rising costs while earnings remain at the 2018 rate.

Effective June 1, Phoenix Specialty Coatings' hourly rate is going up by 20%. The increase will NOT affect jobs currently in line but will apply to all jobs arriving on or after that date. Box them up and get them here soon!

I'm truly sorry and wish it hadn't come to this. Please understand it was a hard choice to make, especially when a recession is likely looming.

It's either this, close my doors, apply for food stamps or go back to working for lawyers. (Law firms were always more lucrative in terms of money ... but they couldn't hold a candle to the personal satisfaction that accompanies working with all of YOU.)

Thanks in advance for your understanding.

In the meantime, #FJB and be sure to watch #2000Mules!!!

Keep doing the good work. Money is only worth 1/2 half of what it used to buy just 3 years ago so it just takes twice as much of it now. People understand this.

Here is a prime example, needed a 20 ton load of Crushed Concrete to build up the private road out here.

Last time we had it delivered it was $380 dollars just 3 years ago, this year the same load costs $600 dollars.

We needed it, bring it on. Got things taken care of for now. Mentioned to the neighbors that use the road that the price doubled. One retired lady came by with $300 bucks to help out with the costs.

So yeah, it will all work out.
