Karla Mendez was raised in a quaint little town in Ontario called Ajax. As did many of us, Karla’s first jobs consisted of delivering news papers and then working at a car wash. These jobs taught Karla the importance of working hard and always trying to satisfy the needs of customers. Karla relied on these lessons learned in 1981, when she moved to Kitchener. Five short years later, Karla opened her own painting business, Black ‘n’ Tan. Karla has led Black ‘n’ Tan to continuous company growth for many years and now employs 25 employees full-time and owns a large fleet of vans. What Karla learned in her early years about working hard to keep the customers happy still bodes true today and can be seen in all the work Black ‘n’ Tan has completed throughout Ontario. We are a full service painting company that has years of experience in painting building interiors and exteriors. Our experience is unmatched, with painting projects ranging from small offices to large commercial buildings and apartment complexes. If more work than painting is needed, we offer professional services in repairing stucco, interior walls and all other sorts of minor handyman repair projects.
