When Colleen Kelly hired painters to refinish her lower kitchen cabinets, the results were "awful." Months later, she called Spencer Jones at Fres Co. Painting. His crew stripped the old paint, which took considerable effort, and repainted them. Now, she says, her "cabinets look brand new." This pattern of fixing what others left unfinished defines how Spencer approaches every project.
Spencer launched Fres Co. Painting in February 2023, operating from Rogersville while serving Springfield, Nixa, Republic, Ozark, and surrounding Southwest Missouri communities. The company handles interior and exterior residential painting, cabinet refinishing, deck staining, door restoration, and commercial work including churches and salons. Spencer personally handles estimates and maintains direct communication throughout each project.
The company holds membership in the Republic Area Chamber of Commerce and serves customers within a 25-mile radius of the Springfield metro area.
