Since 1987, when he established Dan Brady Painting & Wood Restoration, Dan has been providing superior-quality interior and exterior painting for both residential and commercial projects. He has developed a reputation for dependability, personal service and attention to detail that keeps his customers coming back to him again and again. He regularly attends regional and national painting conventions and trade shows in order to stay on the cutting edge of not only the latest equipment, but also preparation and application techniques, and the newest trends and products in the industry.

"Well, you can teach an old dog new tricks. Being taught 30 years ago by a master painter prepared me well for the trade. Unfortunately, being away from the trade for quite some time I was definitely out of touch on all the latest tips and tricks of the trade. Thanks to Dan I feel like I've been brought up to speed overnight. If that wasn't good enough, he called to answer some of my initial questions after watching the video. Thanks Dan, Great Job P.S. Can't wait to see next video!"  - ZACHARY MALPASS, Morrison, TN

"I found the video very interesting and look forward to seeing future ones."  - JOHN HAWKINS, Rawson, Ohio

"As a seasoned do-it-yourself painter, I thought that I knew most of the little tricks that would help make the job look professional. My painting was good, but never quite perfect. Dan Brady's Tricks of the Trade video opened my eyes to several new techniques and products that should bring my painting to the next level. I am anxious to try them out. The video makes it easy to go back and review portions as needed when working on a project. Thank you, Dan!"  - MICHAEL B. NEWMAN, Traverse City, Michigan

"I watched your video and was extremely impressed with not only the information, but the production value of the piece. You did a great job on explaining the process, tools, and the details of interior painting. It is something I will be using for training our apprentices, especially the wall repair sections. "  - SEAN KENNEDY, Kennedy Painting LLC, St. Louis, Missouri

"Excellent painting information Dan-O! Your "Tricks of the Trade" video is chock-a-block FULL of useful information for the first time and veteran painters alike! Keep up the good work--I look forward to more "Tricks of the Trade" videos......"  - DAN SHOUP, Traverse City HandyMan

"Start-up painting business owners who want to develop better house-painting skills and a more fluid understanding of the process for achieving a professional quality paint job will benefit greatly from Dan Brady's new DVD, "Learn How to Paint a Room Like a Pro." I learned a few valuable insights that will save me a lot of time and improve my production process greatly. Although the DVD is geared toward teaching the "DIYer," it will also help the small business owner who specializes in targeting interior residential repaints by helping them: Streamline the process and reduce the time it takes to paint a room; Improve the overall quality of the finished product; and Improve their overall client experience. Less time to produce the job + a better looking finished product = lots of happy, satisfied customers and more money in your bank account! The way I see it, if this DVD helps you reduce your production time by just 30 minutes per job (because it helped you streamline your production process) it is worth a thousand times the $24.95 asking price. We are happy to give Dan Brady and the "Learn How to Paint a Room Like a Pro" DVD our highest recommendation."  - ANDY THOMPSON, www.StartAPaintingBusiness.com, www.HowToBidPaintJobs.com, Grand Rapids, Michigan
