Taunton,
MA - In an age of the family business going by the
wayside, it’s nice to know that a family business
operating for more than 50 years is not only surviving,
but thriving.

That’s
the case of Al & Sons Painting. The
business began back in 1959 when Al Cravenho began
painting homes and businesses in the Greater Taunton
area. He apparently did it pretty well and the business
grew. Al’s son, Steve entered the business learning
from his father and the business continued its steady
growth.
"I
think we were successful because we treated our customer’s
homes and businesses like they were ours," said
Steve Cravenho. "We always treated our customers
like they were family," added the now
"senior" member of Al & Sons
Painting crew.
"We’ve
now got a third generation of Cravenho’s involved in
the business," said Steve. "My sons, Peter and
Michael work side by side with me on many projects, just
like I worked with my Dad."

| With
commercial accounts like Bristol County Savings Bank, Al
& Sons still specialize in a quality job.
Steve says he still has customers that his father worked
for back in the 60’s 70’s 80’s and 90’s.
"There’s a real sense of satisfaction for me that
our reputation has endured," explained Steve.
"Look, there are a lot of guys out there that will
do it cheaper," said Steve, "but very few will
do it better than us." "After all,"
smiled Steve, "You’ve got my father’s name on
it and I have a reputation to uphold."
