L-R: Daniel Everett and Edwin Sahagun

 “When I first began, I dated a girl whose father was a painter,” Everett said. “Around him, if you weren’t a painter or a deer hunter, you just didn’t make the cut.  So, I became both a painter and a deer hunter!  Nowadays, I am still a painter but I don’t really do any deer hunting anymore.

“I opened my company in Pearland, TX more than four years ago.  In the beginning, I had a single axel trailer to take to the jobsites.  It was difficult to maneuver, so I got a better trailer about two years ago.”

Everett says he enjoys what he does today because he likes making old buildings look new again.  He also likes having the opportunity to work outside instead of being stuck at an office.

Edwin Sahagun is a laborer and goes to the projects with Everett on a daily basis.  Sahagun’s father Rafael also works as a laborer.

“When I get the extra time, I enjoy getting out to the golf course, although I haven’t played golf in a while,” Everett said. “I do a lot of walking these days to stay in shape.  I go walking near San Jacinto College.   My daughter graduated from the college last year.

“In addition, I enjoy traveling to Florida with my wife once a year to visit her kids and grandchildren.  My wife goes about three times a year.  We love to go to the beach near Tampa, FL.  Other than that, I stay close to home to take care of our house, the business and my dog.

“I have a 8-year-old long haired Australian Shepherd named Nikki.  She is a beauty with smoke grey eyes.  I have had her since she was a puppy. 

“My long-term plan is to stay right here in Pearland, TX and continue getting new commercial and residential projects in the area.”
