Hey everyone! My name is Zach Melton, owner of St Croix Valley Paint and Stain, welcome to the page of your local home service company, based out of Hudson, WI, but servicing all of the St Croix Valley.
For newer companies, a lot of people will ask “why should we choose you?”. Which I think is a great question, and every home owner should ask it. Let me explain why we think our process is best fit for giving your home the update it need!
Houses are NOT all the same. From generation to generation, building and the skills throughout the process have changed significantly. This requires contractors to have a deep understanding of methods and materials used throughout time, past and present.
I started my life in the painting world in 2017 as a college kid trying something new and went through that summer soaking up painting knowledge through an internship. That lasted one year and I thought life was taking me in a different direction. Fast forward to 2021, following a year in recreational management, I became a Project Manager for a contractor in Minneapolis. Running 8-12 crews for 8 months per year, producing upwards of 15 projects a week. Needless to say, I believe the volume of projects you’ve seen directly correlates to one’s understand of best practices for houses. From carpentry, to washing, prep/painting/staining and more, I’ve seen and done it all.
Eventually one gets weary of seeing money come and go for a business but only seeing such small percentages in return. I will forever appreciate my 4 years of management with my former company, but eventually I felt drawn to trying to put that much effort into my own opportunities.
This is where SCVPS was born, in December of 2025, I took the leap to entrepreneurship. I want to be able to implement my years of experience with a large contractor, and bring that level of service and quality to home owners, but cut out the large amounts of overhead costs. I believe business is best dealt in the small business realm, more hands on communication with ownership/management to ensure smooth communication throughout a project, a clear understanding of who exactly will be working on your house, as well as efficient and quality work you and I can both be proud of.
If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a message, or text/call at 715-520-7605.
Thanks!
Zach
