Company History
Humble Beginnings
I’m Phil Prive, the owner of First Choice Painting And Handyman. I am a Navy veteran, I’ve been married to my wonderful wife Rose for over 33 years, and have two children who are both working in the medical field. We moved to Southwest Florida from Bowling Green, KY during Covid and have made this our permanent home. My wife’s parents have lived here for over 30 years so we have been visiting here the entire time. We have seen this area explode from the growth and it doesn’t seem to be slowing anytime soon!
I bring with me over 30 years of experience in home remodeling, painting, handyman services and home inspection. When we moved here, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to open a new business. With the devastation that Hurricane Ian brought to our community I realized that it was the best way that I could help to rebuild our neighborhoods, and get us back to normal as quickly as possible. We own a condo on Little Hickory Island in Bonita Springs, so we have experienced the loss that everyone along the coastline has felt.
Painting is our specialty but there is nothing we can’t do. We love a challenge and we have solved many problems with our engineering knowledge and ingenuity. Our motto has always been “Quality, Integrity, Value.” We will provide the best quality product for the best price. We will show up on time, stick to our schedule and communicate throughout the entire process. We want to make this the best experience you have ever had!
