In 1972, Ernest Sheldon, an immigrant from Scotland, started a small painting business. His son, Scott came into the business to train to paint during his breaks between school commitments and the military. It was clear from the beginning, that Scott’s talents were business-minded. He learned the trade from his father quite well when he took over the reigns, he dedicated his efforts to growing the family business into the household name that Sheldon & Sons is today.
