Favorite Painter - Craig Stapp
For Craig Stapp, owner of CWS Handyman Services, everything is about quality, not quantity, and that attention to detail and passion to always give his customers perfection has landed him the 2023 Anna Maria Island Sun Reader’s Choice Award for Favorite Painter.
For the past decade, Stapp has been painting interiors (and sometimes exteriors) for clients who expect nothing less than the best. With a background as a corporate yacht captain, he says he learned the importance of attention to detail, and that mindset is present in every job he takes on. He says he has never advertised, and just about every client comes via wordof-mouth.
“I don’t jump from job to job,” Stapp said. “I start a job and work until it’s finished. I also work mostly by myself because it’s hard to hire people to do the type of high-end work it’s taken me a lifetime to accomplish.”
Stapp says the best part of his job is his customers, many of whom he says treat him like a member of the family, and are always grateful to have someone in their home who not only under -
stands the end result they desire, but trust in his expertise and process.
“I’m blessed to have the best customers on the planet, these aren’t just good people, they’re the best people,” Stapp said.
Stapp can be reached at 305432-1065.
