A Letter to My Younger Self: Building a Painting Business in Scarsdale and Bronxville

Genesis at 25 years old, starting his painting journey in WestchesterCounty

It’s 2025 and I’m looking back, writing to the man I was at 25. At that time, I was new to the country, newly
married, and trying to figure out how to make it all work. Every day felt heavy. I didn’t know where life was
going, and deep down, I was scared, even if I wouldn’t admit it.

I was working for small painting crews, just trying to learn the ropes and bring home a paycheck. Long
hours, day jobs, no real plan. Honestly, I didn’t even like painting that much in the beginning. It was just
survival. But those early years mattered more than I could see.

Starting Out in Westchester County

When I first began, I served homes in Scarsdale and Bronxville. These towns became the training ground
where I learned not just how to paint walls, but how to build trust. Every brush stroke, every paycheck,
every long day was laying the foundation for something bigger. Back then, it didn’t feel like progress, but it
was.

Westchester County has beautiful homes and families who care deeply about their spaces. To be welcomed
into those homes to provide interior and exterior painting was an honor I didn’t fully appreciate until
later. What felt like just day jobs were actually lessons in perseverance, craftsmanship, and integrity.

Lessons I’d Tell My 25-Year-Old Self

Stop worrying so much about the future. You’re not falling behind. You’re building something. You don’t
need to carry the world on your back. You just need to keep showing up.

You are not defined by the work you do, but by the person you are. Staying humble, working hard, choosing
kindness—that’s what mattered most. And that’s what eventually grew into a reputation as one of the best
painting contractors in Scarsdale.

What Came Next

Over time, what started as just a way to get by turned into a business with a name, a purpose, and a heart.
Genesis Pro Painting became known for integrity, craftsmanship, and genuine care for clients. A team
formed. Trust was earned. Families began calling us back again and again because they knew we would
show up and deliver.

Today, I look back and realize every step was worth it. The long days, the doubts, the risks—they were
shaping the man I was becoming, and the business that would one day thrive in Westchester County.
