The Buyer's Perspective:

Jim Folk

Vice President, Ballpark Operations

Cleveland Indians

"The standards established here at Progressive Field to maintain our Ballpark, now in its 17th season, remain high. We must match the high expectations the fans have for this facility, and for our organization.  Dependable Painting is a partner in that effort. They are not only a reliable vendor for the Cleveland Indians; they are also a solid part of the Cleveland Indians’ Family. 

Efficiency is the trademark of Dependable Painting. Regardless of the size of the job, from painting our Field Lighting Towers, to applying paint and wall covering in smaller spaces, Dependable Painting always comes in on time and true to their budget.  Daily contractor reports are detailed.  Invoicing is clear, accurate and complete with details associated with the project regarding paint systems or colors used.  Working in the Baseball environment can often be very challenging; however, Dependable Painting overcomes those challenges and maintains open lines of communication throughout the project(s) to ensure we are kept up to date on progress.  We enjoy a solid working partnership with Dependable Painting as we know the process will be efficient from start to finish."
